Sunflower for Superman...

Salam,

Very sorry for being late posting this entry. Banyak sangat hal yang mendatang almost every weekend (including spent time chatting, gossipping and cooking with my mum and other sisters).

This was from my sister's officemate. Anyway, thanks for the order ya...




Sempat bake satu cake yang resipinya i dapat dari baker Edina from http://adorablecupcakes.blogspot.com. Nama pun dah gerun. I pastekan sekali lagi resipi kart sini, so that mana2 bakers nak mencuba. Normally, I dont use to eat my own cake... But this time I couldn't resist and the taste..... Hmmmmmmm... I'm speechless! Hope you understand since I am a chocoholic! Thanks to Edina for sharing this great recepi. Kongsi2 lah lagi yer...

Devil's Food Chocolate Cake
1 cup all purpose flour (tepung gandum biasa)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
65 gram butter
1 large egg - size A
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk (homemade: 1/4 cup milk added with a few drops of distilled vinegar (cuka biasa), leave to rest for about 20 minutes
1/2 cup warm water

Methods:
Set your oven at 170C (i set mine at 160C)
Prepare your cake tins, I used my casserole.
Sieve flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate soda, salt, and set aside.
Beat butter with sugars until light and fluffy, add eggs.
When all well incorporated add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder etc) and alternate with liquid ingredients (buttermilk + warm water) in three portions, last incorporate the vanilla extract.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until just cooked

Cream Cheese Frosting
250 g Philly cheese (i made only half-125g)
125 g butter (i use about 60g)
1 cup icing sugar (i used 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
juice of a squeezed slice of lemon, to rid the cheese taste (i didnt put)

Beat the cheese and butter, just until creamy, add the icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice.

Chocolate Ganache
200 ml double cream with at least 30% fat content
250 g dark chocolate, chopped finely
a pinch of salt

In a double boiler, warm the cream until just at boiling point, add the chocolate and salt and stir, when all chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and continue stirring until all well mixed.

Wait for the cake to cool completely, spread the cream cheese frosting and pour the ganache on top.

Ini lah hasilnyeerrrr... Sekarang ni pun terliur lagi niiiii....
