This is my first attempt to use my mini bundt tins to bake a cake, they are just the cutest thing. My daughter had a blast, she ate half of the cake so fast without moving from her seat (which is very rare), one happy Mommy here ;o)
Ingredients:
225gr caster sugar
115 gr margarine (room temperature)
175 gr plain flour
2 lightly beaten eggs
175 ml fat - free milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Preheat the oven (I'm using gas mark 3)
Grease 6 mini bundt tins.
In a bowl, beat the margarine & sugar with an electric whisk until thick and pale.
Slowly add the eggs and vanilla, beating well.
Mix the flour & baking powder in another bowl, add to the margarine mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk.
Spoon the mixture into each bundt tin until three quarters full
Bake for 35 minutes
Then remove from the oven, cool on a rack.
Stored in airtight container for up to 2 days.
Happy Women's Day, Ladies !!!!!
After baking cupcakes for Ariel's B'day (a big success.. thank God) nowadays I love playing with the icing decoration, I made it simple and homey but (hopefully) still cute ... "The kind that my mom used to make " my friend Kuniko said. Since most of you are far away from us I can't send you any of these tiny treasure but here's the recipe for a yummy classic edible buttercream : 1 part of white butter 1 part of unsalted butter 1 part condensed milk (add more if you wish) colouring (optional) Beat in medium speed for 3 - 4 minutes, voila ready to go :) Last night I baked 3 dozens basic cup-cakes and here is the result ...  This box goes to Diana, Miguel's Secretary for a (belated) B'day present  Close-up look... btw, Yellow is for friendship (her b'day was 26 Nov)  This box goes to Miguel, today is a special day for him at work (luv you babe !!)  This one goes to Febe, she's hosting our bi-weekly coffee morning today. Now I'm ready for a good weekend !!! (^_^)
 More on coconut, this recipe is from my auntie Ketut Karmiti with a little bit of modification from me. She will made it couple of hours before the Balinese ceremony started (Otonan, Purnama, etc) hence "dadakan" but its the best Jaja (kue or cake in Balinese) that I'm craving from time to time. When I was away from my Parents home I discovered that WINGKO has similar taste with this particular Jaja Uli and nothing beat the freshly made one (obviously). Its not sweet cake but "gurih" (help me with translation here, anyone ?) in taste, just right for me ;-) Anyway, you will need : 2 small Freshly grated peeled Coconut 150 gr Sugar 275 ml Water 1 tsp Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp salt 400 gr Sticky Rice Flour (Tepung Ketan Putih) 200 gr Rice Flour (Tepung Beras) 1 Egg Yolk 2 Tbsp Honey/Maple Syrup Boil water then add sugar + salt + vanilla essence until dissolved with small fire, cool it off . Mix Flour with Grated coconut evenly, add the liquid sugar water bit by bit then start kneading the mixture  Once it's not sticky in your hand then its ready  Spread it on a Baking Tray lined with paper, flatten them up with the bottom of your palm evenly Bake it on high (gas mark 6) for 20 minutes.  Take it out from oven then brush the Egg Yolk + Honey on top of the cake, put it back in the oven When the top is golden in color take it out, cool it off on a wire rack  Served 12 (^_^)
