Honeycomb Cake

I love honeycomb cake or kek gula hangus or kek sarang lebah. Masa aku kat Hobart dulu, K.Anza selalu buat and hers was so good that aku still boleh ingat sampai sekarang. But bila aku tanya K.Anza the recipe, K.Anza dah tak ingat.. huhuhu.. sedih betul. Kalau tanya aku recipes yg aku masak masa my student days, aku pun tak ingat. It was always hentam, campak2, tapi sedap!

Tiba2 teringat the disasterous Nasi Minyak that I cooked during one of the raya celebration. Nasib baik ler yang makan cuma budak2 lelaki batch aku je. Aku tak penah masak nasi minyak before that. My experiment went awry. Patutnya aku masukkan la rempah2 mcm jintan etc dalam kain kasa, but, no.. I put everything inside the nasi. Sudahnya, nasi minyak aku penuh dengan "sampah sarap". Nasib baik ler sedap.

This recipe was shared by Leene who is currently residing in Cairo.

Cake ni lembut, kenyal dan sangat sedap. Thank you Leene for the recipe!! :D

 Terlebih garing la pulak kek aku ni. (using the silicon pan yg K.Min belikan)

Lebah2 aku malas bekerja, buat sarang 80% je siap.. ishk! nak kena buang keje ni..

Honeycomb Cake

by Leene

For caramel:
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water

Melt sugar over low heat sampai hancur semua and the caramalised sugar turned light brown. Add the hot water slowly, and be extra careful of the hot liquid. Cool it.

For cake:
200ml sweet condensed milk
4 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of melted butter

In a bowl, sift bicarbonate soda, flour and baking powder. In another bowl, add eggs to condensed milk, whisk it until blended. Slowly add flour mix, whisk until just blended. Add in melted butter and caramalised sugar. Stir for few minutes. Leave it for about 1-2 hours, then bake it for about 40-50 minutes in 150 degree celcius oven.
