Bundt Strikes Again....!

Yes, I was so bored so I thought.... "why not I tried this recipe that I kept for God knows how long...."

Green Tea & Lemon Marble Cake

I got this from a friend's collection. Not sure the source of this recipe though...

Since I lurvveeeee green tea to bits, I was excited when I came across this one and I gave it a try... after waited for so long because I'm still on a bz-bee mode now.

Anyway, the cake is not bad, just that the green tea taste is not that powerful (bcoz I'm a green-tea-freak!), maybe you want to add another 2 tbsp of matcha powder to the batter.

Try-lah!

Green and yellow batter, alternate them to make the marble effect

Oh yes, that's my new bundt pan.... I know, I know, it's nice... tq! :D

Matcha powder

Zest of 1 lemon and lemon juice

... all went into the batter...

Green Tea & Lemon Marble Cake

2 2/3 cups self raising flour, sifted

2 1/3 cups sugar (I used only 2 cups because I hate too-sweet cakes)

1 tsp vanilla essence

6 eggs

2/3 cup sour cream

zest of one lemon

Juice of half a lemon (I used 2 tbsp of the juice)

1 tbsp green tea a.k.a matcha powder

230gm butter, melted (I used salted butter)

Combine eggs and sugar, whisk the the mixture with mixer, mix thoroughly till incorporated. Add in the essence, add put in the sour cream. Continue mixing till combine. Fold in the melted butter. Using a large spatula, stir in the flour, in 2 or 3 additions; stir till combine.

Divide the batter in halves, add the lemon zest & juice in 1 batter and fold in the green tea powder in the other bowl.

Pour the batter alternately and bake for about 1-1.5 hrs. or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

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?

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.
