Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar-used 1/4 cup
1/2 brown sugar- used 1/4 cup
65g butter (anchor)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract  (i used vanilla essence)
1/4 cup buttermilk- I used plain 1/4 cup of low fat milk with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 
1/2 cup warm water

Method:-

Set your oven at 170C
Prepare your cake tins.
Sieve flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate soda, salt, and set aside.
Beat butter with sugars until light and fluffy, add eggs.
When all well incorporated add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder etc) and alternate with liquid ingredients (buttermilk + warm water) in three portions, last incorporate the vanilla extract.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until just cooked

Cream Cheese Frosting
250 gm cream cheese (room temp)
125 gm butter (room temp)
1 cup icing sugar - sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
juice of a squeezed slice of lemon, to rid the cheese taste

Beat cream cheese and butter, just until creamy, add the icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice.

 

Chocolate Ganache-(make 1/2 the amount next time)
200ml double cream with at least 30% fat content-I used fresh cream
250g dark chocolate, chopped finely
a pinch of salt.

 In a double boiler, warm the cream until just at boiling point, add the chocolate & salt and stir. When all the chocolate has melted, remove for heat and continue stirring until all well mixed.
Let the cake cool completely, spread the cream cheese frosting and pour the ganache on top

source:- joy of baking

ingredients

3 large eggs

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar

1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice (2-3 lemons) (do not use the bottled lemon juice)

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 tablespoon (4 grams) finely shredded lemon zest

 

Method

 In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended.

Cook, stirring constantly (to prevent it from curdling), until the mixture becomes thick (like sour cream or a hollandaise sauce) (160 degrees F or 71 degrees C). This will take approximately 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.

Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted.

Add the lemon zest and let cool. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Cover immediately (so a skin doesn't form) and refrigerate for up to a week.

Makes 1 1/2 cups (360 ml).

Note: If you want a lighter lemon curd whip 1/2 cup (120 ml) of heavy whipping cream and fold into the lemon curd.

Note:  Room temperature lemons provide more juice. After squeezing, strain the juice to remove any pulp. Zest is the yellow, sweet-flavored outer rind of the lemon. A zester or fine grater can be used to remove the rind. Cold lemons are much easier to grate. Grate lemons just before using as the zest will lose moisture if it sits too long.

spicy spicy spicy penne salmon

 

memang tersaaangatlah spicy nya sampaikan terasa bibirku seksi macam bibir angelina jolie ler pulak hahaha :-D

sebenarnya masih ada leftover roasted salmon dinner 2 hari lepas tu. nak buang macam sayang, so seperti biasa mesti di recycle kan! asalnya nak buat lunch for me jek tapi biasa lah bila tengah hari tu memang takde mood langsung nak singgah kat dapur tu..sudahnya itu yang i bawak menu ni ke dinner aje lah…

 

i think dalam banyak banyak pasta, i paling suka makan penne sebab ntah lah..i rasa tekak i suka penne ni sebab dia yang macam boleh je absorb apa je spices yang dimasak together with it..eh, itu kata tekak i lah ye! my other half suka vermicelli jek and hasya pulak suka segala jenis mak nenek makcik pakcik pastu tuh, bagi jek apa lenis pasta kat dia memang dia suka and memang dia tak tolak lah ;-) 

hokkay, here’s the recipe…basically macam yang i slalu masak kat sini and sini je cuma tukar2 sikit jek ;-)

BAHAN BAHAN

penne (ikut suka banyak mana nak) di rebus sehingga lembut – boleh juga guna farfalle, fussili or macaroni or spaghetti

1/2 biji bawang besar – di potong dadu kecil kecil

1 biji bawang putih – di potong dadu kecil

1 biji green capsicum di potong serong (beli yg ijo jek sbb yg tu murah hahaha)

10 biji cili api (patut la pedas ke telinga) di tumbuk tapi jangan sampai lumat, cukup sekadar 2-3 kali ketuk je

beberapa biji olives – i suka banyak

1/2 ketul grilled salmon carik carikkan kecik kecik – cara nak grill – sapukan lemon juice, pepper n salt n bakar je dlm oven selama 15 minit pada suhu 200 C or boleh je guna tuna flakes in can

pepper – i pakai ground pepper je

sedikit olive oil untuk menumis (dlm 2 – 3 tbsp )

garam secukup rasa

sedikit grated parmesan cheese untuk di tabur nanti

CARA CARA

panaskan olive oil

tumiskan bawang putih, bawang merah dan cili api sehingga naik bau

kemudian masukkan salmon, kacau sehingga salmon agak garing

then masukkan capsicum, garam, pepper (i pakai ground pepper dlm botol tu, cukup 2-3 kali shake je) serta penne tadi

kacau kejap biar sebati and then tutup api…

masukkan dalam pinggan dan taburkan parmeesan cheese dan sedia untuk di hidangkan!

 

eh, tetiba i wonder…kalau masak macam gini the other half boleh pulak makan salmon tu…hmmm agaknya dia tkleh makan salmon sebijik sebijun kot…kena hancur hancurkan macam ni kot baru sedap kat tekak dia :-PP

madeleine cookies

 

 

 

Hasya loves madeleine sebab texture dia kan macam ala ala baulu gitu. sebab dia suka maka mommy dia pun suka lah nak mencuba resepi baru tapikan masa i cuba resepi ni, tak perasan ler pulak the name is madeleine cookies. hmmm kalau dah namanya cookies, mestilah a bit crunchy and takde macam baulu tu kan!

hasilnya hasya kurang suka tapi mommy and papa hasya suka plak ;-)

well, kiranya win win situation lah kan..kalau i buat resepi yang biasa tu hasya yang makan lelebih tapi bila buat this recipe, mommy and papa dia yang makan lebih pulak ye!

hubby likes it so much..keluar oven jek dia terus makan and makan and makan, well, actually dapat pun sikit aje sebab buat half recipe kan. i pulak suka bila di coatkan dengan chocolate tuh…
