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?

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...

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies...
