SUGEE CAKE .... AND STRESS

It was raining cats n dogs today and by the time i reached home it was already 8pm!

 Sigh!  I really  hate it when it rains in KL... like it's a guaranteed sign that you will be stuck on the road with feet going numb, tummy starting to growl and all you have is the DJ on the radio to keep you entertained.  If you are lucky, you'll get to listen to your favorite songs.

 There's so much going on in the office and they sucked out all my mood this week.  So today as soon as I got home, I reached out for my loyal friend in the kitchen.... my cake mixer... hee hee hee

 I've been saving this recipe for so long and it was time to give it a GO.  I never fancy sugee cake but I just love trying new recipes... it gives me a good feeling once the aroma of the baked cake fills the air... and the feeling when you take a bite of the hot-and-fresh-from-the-oven-cake.... priceless!

 So here goes...

 SUGEE CAKE 

 250 gm butter
230gm – 250 gm castor sugar (I used 230 gm)
Cream thouroughly.

Add in
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tsp buttercream essence
1/3 cup cold evaporated milk
Continue to cream.

Add in
6 egg yolks, one at a  time
Beat just to make sure all are well blended

Add in (all dry ingredients are mix together before adding them to the butter mixture)
125 gm semolina/sugee flour
125 gm self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
50 gm ground almond (I roast and blend the almond coarsely)

Set aside.  Beat 5 egg whites till stiff and soft peak formed.

Add butter mixture to egg whites and mix all with a spatula to make sure they blend together. 

Bake for an hour in an 8’ square pan and sprinkle almond on top (or any other nuts that you like).

Adapted from - Cherry on A Cake ... thanks!  this is the 'awesomest' sugee cake I've ever baked.... and it's a MUST TRY!  So moist and buttery, you'll be asking for more.

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...
