Rainbow Cake - in Malay

Ok! Finally aku ada masa untuk translate the recipe in Malay. Patutnya nak ambik gambar step by step, but aku totally forgotten about it, sampai la kek dah siap. Last nite, I baked this cake at 8.30pm, siap dalam pukul 10pm, pastu tunggu cake tu sejuk dulu, baru assemble.

A friend, Maizan, came over nak tengok cara buat the rainbow cake. We had good time chitchatting sampai pukul 12 lebih. I was supposed to send some cake to Ju and K.Yani. Tapi takan la nak pegi rumah orang at 12midnite kot.

Actually, I wanted to update my blog earlier hari ni. Tapikan, aku tertido lepas hantar the girls to school. Masa chat with Nisa tadi, aku cakap nak exercise. Tapi tengok katil yang empuk, baring kejap, terus hanyut sampai pukul 10am. Aisey! Rugi pagi aku. Last nite I couldnt really sleep. I slept at 1.30am, then at 2am, hubby called cakap his mother has arrived. Then, aku kena ambik bantal, selimut, etc. Pukul 2.30am baru tido balik. Pastu at 5am, MIL kejut, cakap dia orang dah nak pegi airport. She came over with my SIL and her family. Their flight pukul 7.30am.

Dah kena bangun lagi. Lepas orang azan subuh, aku tido kejap. 6.30am, bangun untuk kejut the girls to school. Since hari ni, Raina demam, mak Raina tak datang. Terpaksa la hantar the girls to school. I was so tired. Bila asyik tido bangun ni, badan lagi penat. *sigh*.. Ni pun still rasa mengantuk..

Rainbow Cake again..

Rainbow Cake 
Adapted from Dorie Greenspan

Bahan2
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups tepung cake/superfine
1 tablespoon serbuk penaik
1/2 teaspoon garam (Jika anda menggunakan salted butter, tak perlu tambah garam)
1 1/4 cups  susu segar atau buttermilk (I guna buttermilk)
4 putih telur (telur size A)
¾ cup gula (recipe asal menggunakan 1 1/2 cawan gula)
2 sudu teh parutan kulit limau- (I tak guna parutan limau)
125gm unsalted butter, keluarkan dari peti dan biarkan pada suhu bilik (sepatutnya menggunakan 113gm, tapi I malas nak timbang)
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract - (I tak tambah lemon juice)
Gel or powder food coloring
2 tsp vanilla essence (I guna vanilla essence walaupun tiada dalam recipe)

1. Panaskan Oven pada suhu 180 degree celcius. Gris pan kek yang berukuran 5 inci dan alas dengan kertas baking.
2. Tapis tepung kek, serbuk penaik dan garam kedalam bekas. Didalam bekas yang lain, pukul putih telur dan buttermilk secara manual selama 1 minit. 
3. Menggunakan stand mixer, pukul butter dan gula dengan kelajuan sederhana selama 3 minit sehingga kembang. 
4. Masukkan 1/3 daripada adunan buttermilk telur tadi, dan selang seli dengan gandum sehingga habis. Pastikan mixer berada pada low speed semasa menambah gandum dan buttermilk. Setelah selesai, pukul adunan kek selama 2 minit sehingga sebati.
5. Bahagikan adunan kepada 6 bahgian, warnakan menggunakan food colouring. Bakar satu bahagian dahulu, selama 20 minit atau sehingga lidi tidak lekat pada kek. Keluarkan, dan biarkan selama 5 minit sebelum disejukkan diatas rak penyejuk. Bakar lagi adunan yang lain sehingga habis.
6. Untuk memastikan kek lembab, apabila sejuk, bungkus dengan cling wrap. 
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
125gm butter, suhu bilik
125 gm cream cheese, suhu bilik
125gm mascarpone cheese, suhu bilik
1 cup gula icing
1 tbs esen vanilla

To make the frosting: Gunakan whisk, pukul butter dan cheese pada kelajuan yang tinggu selama 5 minit. Make sure, sekali sekali, scrape (bm?) bowl tu.  Kurangkan kelajuan mixer, tambah gula icing dan vanilla esen. Pukul lagi pada medium speed selama beberapa minit sehingga frosting menjadi gebu.

  10. Rima,

    I saw you bake the cake for Sonia's birthday. tu yang buatkan I excited to try. but i reduced the sugar sebab tengok sugar byk, takut manis.

    i'll definitely bake this over and over again. suka sangat the texture. it's really yummy! especially bila makan dengan cream cheese frosting :D

  13. anonymous,

    yes. kena bake each layer separately, then sandwiched them together with either jam or frosting.

  15. akak guna 6 inch pan yg macam mana ek? confius sbb tak jumpa kat kedai. huhu. first time nak try sebab minat tp student lg, so not really mahir dlm baking ni. err, segan jek. huhu..

  16. syafi,

    I used 5 inch pan, not 6 inch. 5 inch pan boleh beli kat mana2 kedai bakery supply. kalau tak jumpa the 5 inch pan, u can go to daiso, beli their 4 inch pan.

    4 inch pan will yield taller cake but thicker layer. i suka guna 4 inch pan. cuma bila nak masuk dalam kotak, a bit difficult sebab kek tu tinggi.

    ps : jgn segan nak tanya. i pun still belajar lagi :)
