Rich Marble Chocolate Cake Sheila Mambo


Made this on Wednesday,  a day later (yesterday), finished!..quite rare jugak cake finished within a day ni ..ya lah, Mr Hubby brought to office aje dah half of the cake..then the kids, kejap kejap makan for snacking..my parents pulak, if the kuih or cake that is not too sweet they will eat more so, that was why lah quite laris jugak this cake..hehehe...lucky thing I doubled the ingredients, ( used the whole butter)..
it tasted very rich in chocolatey, adding to moist and soft textured....

Saw this recipe in Kak Zai' kitchen, terus berkenan nak buat...I also did the same as Kak Zai, didnt add the topping cause its already nice eaten on its own...Recipe was taken  from Kacip, and earlier from the owner itself the famous actress Sheila Mambo kan? Correct me if I am wrong ya...sebab not too sure about Malaysia's artist ni.....Thank you all for sharing, I posted here for my future reference ya..ayu doubled the ingredients from original recipe which is half from below. I baked at 150c.

 Ingredients:-(ayu used 9" tray)
250gdark coklat, dicincang dan cairkan-(250g dark chocolate melted)
250g mentega -( 250g butter)
250g gula kastor-saya gunakan 100g-(250g castor sugar-I used 150g )
4 biji telur, dipukul ringan-(4 eggs lightly beaten)
310g  tepung naik sendiri- (310g self raising flour)-((Ayu used 270g)
160 ml susu cair-saya gunakan susu segar-( 160 ml  evaporated milk- I used fresh milk)
1 sudu teh esen vanilla-( 1 tsp vanilla essence)

Method:-
Panaskan oven terlebih dahulu. Pukul mentega dan gula sehingga kembang. Masukkan telur sedikit demi sedikit dan esen vanila. Pukul lagi. Tuang susu dan selang seli dengan tepung. Gaul adunan sehingga sebati. Bahagikan adunan kepada 2 bahagian(bahagian coklat batter Ayu kurangkan anggaran 100-200g + 1 tbsp air). Satu bahagian dimasukkan dark coklat yang telah dicairkan. Manakala satu bahagian dibiakan kosong. Griskan loyang. tuang adunan plain diikuti adunan coklat. Lakukan sehingga habis kesemua adunan. Lorekkan dengan garfu atau toothpick untuk menampakkan corak.(saya gunakan chopstick).
Bakar pada suhu 170C selama 45 minit atau sehingga masak.(Ayu baked using api bawah 
Kemudian adjust api atas bawah sekejap then kembali api bawah)Sejukkan dan boleh lah dihidangkan dengan topping.-(Preheat oven, Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add in egg one by one and vanilla 
essence. Continue beating. Add milk altenately with flour. Mix mixture till incorporated. Divide to 2 portions. One portion with the melted dark chocolate and the other just plain. Scoop plain batter first the the chocolate onto a grease tray till finish. Marble cake using fork or toothpick-( I used chopstick).  Bake at 170C for 45 minutes or till cooked. Let cool and can be serve with toppings.)

Note-Saya cairkan coklat gunakan kaedah mikrowave, sebab tu cepat. Ikut resepi asal ada toppingnya tapi saya tak minat nak bubuh sebab kek ini dengan sendirinya dah cukup sedap. Selamat mencuba.-(I used the microwave to melt the chocolate as it is faster. Original recipe there is topping, but I didnt add casue the cake itself is already very nice on its own.)

Pasta Pizza


 2 hours before Iqram comes back from school just now, I was still dreaming what to cook for the kids...
thought of something simple and I can whipped up the simplest, easy and delicious meal for them...browse the net again as usual, and I found this recipe..which I thought was quick and I think by the time the kids are back it would be just nice for them to eat....

Viola, the pizza was baked on time, and the kids love them very much!!...The unique part about this pizza was it uses the macaroni as the base.!!..instead of the flour..the parmesan cheese, milk and the eggs help to 'hold' the macacroni together and easier to handle when cut...

Opps I just remembered that the recipe, can also be seen at  Ayu- mom@work  another friend blogger of mine...which she did it for her kids...

 Ingredients:-

I followed the instructions but I made some adjustments on my side like, I didnt make the sambal, as I was too lazy to make them..hehe..anyway the guests also cant take hot..so I just substitute, with sliced bird eyes chillies and light soy sauce for the spiciness..

UNTUK STOK UDANG:- Kulit udang dicuci bersih dan toskan. Dalam periuk, panaskan 2 camca besar minyak dan tumis bawang putih hingga wangi, masukkan kulit udang dan kacau goreng hingga bertukar warna. Tuang 4 - 5 liter air dan masukkan saleri, bawang besar dan lobak merah. Renih 1 - 1 1/2 jam dengan api perlahan. Cedok keluar buih2 yang timbul untuk mendapatkan stok udang yang jernih. Kemudian tapis stok tadi, kisar kulit udang bersama saleri, bawang besar dan lobak merah hingga halus. Tapis dan ketepikan jusnya.

UNTUK KUAH:- Udang yang telah dibuang urat belakang tadi, dicuci bersih dan gaul dgn sedikit garam.

Tumis hingga pecah minyak. Tuang stok udang dan jusnya tadi. Gaul hingga sebati. Masukkan kiub ikan bilis MAGGI dan gula batu, biar mendidih. Perasakan dengan garam dan serbuk perasa (jika suka).

UNTUL SAMBAL:- Tumis bawang putih hingga wangi, masukkan cili kisar, sos tiram dan kicap cair, masak hingga pecah minyak. Masukkan gula dan kacau hingga rata. Masak sambal hingga garing dan terbit minyak.

PENYEDIAAN HAR MEE:- Celur mee hoon hingga lembut, begitu juga mee kuning. Dalam mangkuk yang sesuai, masukkan sedikit mee hoon dan mee kuning, tabur taugeh, dan kangkung. Tuang kuah hingga hampir memenuhi mangkuk, hias dengan telur rebus, udang goreng, hirisan daun sup/bawang, bawang goreng dan belahan limau kasturi.

Tauhu Telor


A quick update ..cant sit for long..experiment with this today and the results was good. I think this taste better then the one in Sanur Indonesian restaurant !(mampui kalau dia orang baca ni hehe)..of course for me I added more bird eyes chillies for the sauce, not into too sweet sauce I suppose,... I halved the amount for the sauce, still yields quite an amount. No lettuce for the garnishings, just shredded cucumber and carrots..

Recipe from Chef Tania's blog you can see it here, if you dont have the mould for this, you can use the milk can and open up both ends to form a mould..
I use a metal ring for this and deep fried using my deep fryer..for the 2 beancurds I just used 5 beaten eggs,
so please adjust to preference.

Ingredients:-
10 eggs-(10 telor)
1/2 tsp pepper-(1/2 sudu kecil lada putih)
little salt-(garam)
Mix them together-(Kacau kesemua bahan2)

2 pieces beancurd diced to small cubes- fried and put aside-(2 keping tauhu dipotong dadu, goreng dan ketepikan)
oil for frying-(minyak untuk menggoreng)

Garnishings-(Bahan Hiasan)
lettuce-(daun salad)
shredded cucumber, carrots-(timun dan lobak merah )
grounded peanuts-(kacang tanah tumbuk)

Method:-
Heat oil,  using a mould look alike  an evaporated milk tin or make one using the tin. The oil must cover the height of the mould.(I just add on the oil in the mould while frying) .Once oil is hot, add in some beaten eggs inside, follow by the fried beancurd and repeat procedure till the mould is full top with egg mixture for the last and fry till brown, using the medium heat. Once ready pull out the mould, dish our and drained.-(Panaskan minyak. Gunakan acuan yang tinggi untuk menggoreng tauhu ni. Boleh gunakan bekas tin susu yang telah ditebuk bawahnya . Minyak harus memenuhi ketinggian acuan. (Saya curah2kan minyak aje kedalam acuan semasa menggoreng). Bila minyak sudah panas, masukkan aduna telor kedalam acuan, diikuti dengan tauhu dan kemudain telur lagi. Ulangi sehingga penuh acuan tu, dan goreng menggunakan api sederhana sehingga kekuningan. Bila siap, angkat dan tarik keluar acuan dan toskan.)

ROJAK SAUCE
Blended Ingredients:-(Bahan Kisar)
10 red chillies-(10 lada merah)
20 bird eyes chillies-(20 lada padi)
3 garlics-(3 bawang putih)
