Banana Foster Bundt Cake

I am in love with bundt cake, dunno why.. Maybe sebab bundt cake sangat senang nak buat. Today I am going to have lunch with K.Teh kat Dome Midvalley. K.Teh cakap, kalau on Friday boleh lepak lama2 sebab her lunch hour panjang sikit. Maka, langkah aku pun panjang la jugak .. hehe.. Hubby bengkek je sebab aku kena tinggalkan dia sorang2 kat rumah. He is on MC sebab tak sihat.

This is one of the best bundt cake ever. Aku suka softness of the cake, it's not dry at all, very moist and not sweet. Rasa manis tu just enough. Aku tak payah reduced the sugar. And the best part is the nutty caramalised banana. Peh!! it does make a LOT of difference :)

1 1/2 Cups light brown sugar, divided
2 Teaspoons vanilla 2 Eggs
1 Cup buttermilk
2 Banana, peeled and sliced
3 Bananas, mashed

Pour the batter over the walnuts in the bundt pan and bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool thoroughly in the pan (allow a couple of hours) before turning the cake out onto a plate or stand.

Browned Butter Banana Bundt Cake

Akibat terlalu banyak pisang kat rumah, kepala sampai pening tak tau nak buat apa. Setelah puas google, maka aku cuba this recipe. Iman wanted to bring cake to school. Mama dia tengah mood malas nak bake sampai menyusahkan diri. So I settled for this recipe this time. Rupa memang la tak lawa but the taste is fabulous! Aku suka cake ni sebab moist and not heavy. Gonna bake this cake again.

The truth is, lately, I am quite busy. Puro Collagen business is kicking off good. Alhamdulillah. Aku sibuk ber whatsapp with customers. Sampai pukul 12 malam pun still busy.. hehe.. But I dont really mind coz hubby tak kesah. On Saturday I went to rumah Suzana in Sg. Buloh, ambik barang yang baru sampai from US. I bought mastrad sheets. Lepas ni boleh la aku cuba buat macaron. Err.. Maybe not.. Bercinta sungguh nak buat macaron tu. Takut addicted to it :)

This shipment, Suzana lost 11 handbag coach dia. Apprently custom officers kat sana ripped her boxes and ambik whatever they want. Innalillah.. kesian dia. Nak buat macam mana, dah takde rezeki. 

Browned Butter Banana Bundt Cake 

adapted from Cake Dutchess

2 cups all purpose flour 

1 cup whole wheat flour 

2 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon salt (I omitted salt coz I used salted butter)

6 oz. butter (3/4 cup or 1 1/2 sticks) 

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large eggs, room temperature 

2 cups banana puree 

1 cup buttermilk (or sour cream) 

 Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour your bundt pan (regular 12 cup bundt pan). I personally prefer to use baking spray for bundt pans. 

In large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.< Let’s brown some butter: In medium-low heat, melt the butter. Rise the heat to medium and cook until the butter gently boils. Cook until the butter starts to brown and it develops a dark color. Carefully pour the browned butter into a bowl to cool for ten minutes. 

In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy using the paddle attachment (you could also beat it with a hand mixer). Beat in the eggs one by one, waiting until each has been incorporated to add the next. Beat in vanilla extract and mashed bananas. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mix and beat on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate. Add in the buttermilk and beat until incorporated followed by the remaining flour mixture; scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate. 

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Puro Collagen Halal Certificate

Adalah penting untuk kita pastikan collagen yang kita ambil itu ada HALAL certificate. Ini kerana, walaupun collagen yang kita ambil itu dari marine source, kemungkinan besar kilang yang memproses collagen marine itu juga memproses collagen dari bovine (lembu), porcine (babi), chicken (ayam) atau sheep (kambing biri-biri). Ada juga marine collagen yang dicampur dengan collagen dari sumber binatang.

So, kalau kita ambik collagen tu and orang kata it's from marine source, do check whether it is 100% pure marine source or dicampur dengan collagen from other sources. And it is also important that kita pastikan kilang tu hanya proses collagen dari marine sahaja bukan dari sumber lain untuk menjamin kebersihan dan halal produk.

2.Protein: 98%

Pavlova By Donna Hay

I am in love with this pavlova. I cut the sugar and it tasted just right, not too sweet.

Pavlova 
Adapted from Donna Hay

6 egg whites
1 1/2 cups caster (superfine) sugar 
2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch), sifted 
2 teaspoons white vinegar 

1 cup (250ml) single (pouring) cream ½ cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 4 passionfruit)  250g strawberries, hulled and halved  

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the eggwhite in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, whisking well, until the mixture is stiff and glossy.  

2. Add the cornflour and vinegar and whisk until just combined, about 1 minute.

3. Shape the mixture into few small circular shaped pavlova on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Reduce oven to 130°C and bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven. Whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the pavlova, top with passionfruit and strawberries and serve immediately. Serves 8–10.  

* You’ll know when the meringue is stiff and glossy because the mixture will have tripled in volume and stands up when the beaters are lifted.  * The low heat puffs up the meringue while the long cooking time dries it out to give you a lovely crisp shell.  * Store your pavlova, undressed, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

I used non dairy cream brand Rich which you have to campur 1 cup of cold water to the base that you use. You will need to use 2 cups of base for that. It taste superb!!

1 tablespoon caster sugar
icing sugar, for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
2. Beat the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon, until very light and fluffy (i use mixer). Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well before you add the next.

4. Divide the cake mix into the prepared tins and spread it out using a spatula. Bake in the hot oven for around 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and risen.

For the filing
1. Slice your strawberries . Carefully score the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out all of the seeds.Gently warm the jam in a pan over a low heat

2. Remove from the heat and stir in your sliced strawberries. Add the cream to a bowl with the sugar and vanilla seeds, and squeeze in the juice from your zested lemon. Whip until you have nice soft peak.

3. Smear over the jam and strawberries on the first cake, then spread the sweetened cream over the top. Place the second cake, with the pretty side facing up, on top and dust it with icing sugar

( instead of using jamie's recipe for filing, i whipped 100gm butter, 50gm icing sugar and spread it on top of strawberry jam that i have spread on the first cake)

Brown Butter Madeleine

Those yg nak bake madeleine should try out this recipe. So far, this is the best for me. Yes, madeleine tak sepatutnya letak any rising agent sebab dia patut naik naturally. But the baking powder does make the madeleine lagi gebu. I love it!

Grandma Ople Apple Pie

I love this apple pie. I've altered the recipe according to the reviews. K.zarine ordered this apple pie for makan2.

Blondie

I am in love with Blondie. It's really yummy!!

Blondie
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen

250gm of butter, melted
11/2 cup brown sugar
2 large egg
2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt
2 cup (4 3/8 ounces or 125 grams) all-purpose flour

Butter an 10x10pan
Mix melted butter with brown sugar – beat until smooth. Beat in egg and then vanilla.
Add salt, stir in flour. Mix in any additions (below).
Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes, or until set in the middle. I always err on the side of caution with baking times — nobody ever complained about a gooey-middled cookie. Cool on rack before cutting them.

Further additions, use one or a combination of:

1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts, toasting them first for even better flavor
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon mint extract in addition to or in place of the vanilla
1/2 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup bourbon, scotch or other whiskey; increase the flour by one tablespoon
2 tablespoons of espresso powder with the vanilla
Stir 1/2 cup dried fruit, especially dried cherries, into the prepared batter
Top with a vanilla butter cream or chocolate peanut butter cream frosting
