To find out the answer, I decided to bake this cake again and decorate with orange and passion fruit curd which using leftover oranges that bought the other day ,and last minutes also decided to add in passion fruit which my sister sent over for me.

Golden Sponge Cake 黄金海绵蛋糕

When my daughter first tasted this sponge cake, she told me this cheesecake is so light and good. But I told her that this is not a cheesecake but just a normal sponge cake. She just couldn't believe it! I am regret that I didn't make this good sponge cake much earlier.

Ji Dan Gao / Old fashioned steamed egg sponge cake (开口笑@传统鸡蛋糕)

Last week I just re-visit to Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, this time I brought my kids and mother along. It was a short trip, our main purpose was to cari makan (explore their nice foods) and walk around this French influence's city (I will update a post about this trip later). Earlier I saw few bloggers having this type of old fashioned stamps ( a small wood piece crafted with Chinese prosperity word like 福 (Fu- blessing) and 喜 (Xi - happiness). I am glad that I managed to found these stamps from Ben Than market at Ho Chi Minh.  So I quickly made few traditional cakes so I can use this stamp to chop here and there ^_^.. One of them was this old fashioned steamed egg sponge cake, I was so glad to see this smiling cake, so perfect to chop with 福 (Fu- blessing) stamp.

Easy Castella Cake (cold eggs method) 蜂蜜长崎蛋糕 (冷全蛋打发)



I was accidently broken four eggs when I tried to close the fridge door on last weekend. Then I asked to Jane what to do with these four eggs, then Jane suggested me to make a castella cake since she just done one. I recalled a castella recipe that shared by Helena earlier, so I immediately make it. But i can't use her method which using separation of eggs since four eggs were mixed up together. So i use back the cold eggs method (you can refer to orange sponge cupcake) . To my surprise, this easy castella recipe yield very nice cake, light, moist, little QQ texture (texture like cross between sponge cake and bread), very nice honey aroma, no oil and no SP or ovalette is added.

This cake was specially for my niece who celebrate her perfect 10th Birthday last week. And I was pleased with the result and all my family was impressed with my first Barbie doll cake ^_^.

The other day, my daughter complaint that I have quite a while did not bake a cake. So I ask her to suggest an easy cake, she suggested Japanese Strawberry Shortcake. Since I have all ingredients on hand , quickly search for a recipe and immediate bake this cake for her. Japanese Strawberry shortcake is a layered sponge cake with strawberry and whipped cream filling and frost with whipped cream, and this cake is very famous in Japan.

Pure Vanilla Sponge Cake 香草海绵蛋糕

As promised in my earlier pure vanilla chiffon cake post that I will share with you of baking a chiffon using a normal cake pan that has no tube or insert like chiffon pan. So I would like to call this chiffon as Pure vanilla sponge cake (why I called as pure vanilla because I was using vanilla bean to make this cake) . And this vanilla sponge cake is perfect to use it to decorate as a Birthday cake like fruity Birthday cake.

Steamed caramel banana cake 蒸焦糖香蕉蛋糕 (apam pisang gula hangus)

Today i just got some free time to steam this banana cake that i have bookmarked when i first saw in makcik manggis  that i know i will like it. I made the right choice, this cake is less oily, nice banana fragrance, not too sweet and spongy..yummy..

Old-Fashioned Birthday Cake, and party foods 怀旧的生日

The other day when i had conversation about Birthday party with my hubby, and i just realized that both of us never had neither a Birthday party nor Birthday cake when we were young. Our family financial situation was not allowed to have such luxury celebration last time. When i was a kid, our family were staying at the kampung (small town) , to have a Birthday cake is big thing for us, we can only travel to big town like Klang to get Birthday cake because there were no bakery shop at our small town last time..Anyway, we never blamed our parent and we blessed for what we had last time, it also trained us become stronger and appreciate for everything that we achieving now.
Nevertheless, i still have kawan-kawan yang kaya ( rich friends) last time, so i still have chances to attend their Birthday parties, hehehe..When i flipping through those old Birthday party photos the other day, recall a lot of nice memory and nostalgia feeling about these old Birthday parties. So i decided to held an old-fashioned party for my hubby this year..

Tiramisu Cake

Yesterday i went to do my regular PS check, the lady doctor told me baking is a bad hobby (because my blood pressure was slightly high and my weight never gone down ^_^), i was quite upset and no mood to update any post yesterday. Anyway, i am ok today, because i still continue to bake bread now. My life will not have fun if i am not doing any baking, hehehe..

Last week i made another two Birthday cakes for my niece and nephew. One of them is Tiramisu Cake which i was inspired by Phong Hong Bakes and the recipe in a magazine that i have bookmarked for a longer time.

I just came back from a short trip to Hanoi, quite a fun trip, so many things to discover and so many nice foods. I will update the trip soon since i still have Japan trip have yet to finish update, and also need to start to prepare a family trip to Bali next month..

Black Forest Cake 黑森林蛋糕



I would said Black Forest cake is an old fashion and classic Birthday cake. When we were young, usually we had Black Forest cake for Birthday.
I made three Black Forest cakes in a row on last week, made for my niece and nephew who all Birthday falls in the same week and same month..I realized that most of my family members' Birthday is falls in month of August....Nowadays, i try to make Birthday cake for my family members..
