Shawn request for a Ogura cake last week. Think back i have not baked a Ogura cake for quite a while too. I baked this Pandan Ogura and this Black tea Ogura months ago. Little Thumbs Up theme for this month is Soy Bean so i am going to baked a Soy Milk Marble Ogura cake ^_^
I used some pandan extract to do the marble in the cake and also get rid of the egg-y smell. I am quite happy :) with the result despite the little crack across the cake :(
好久没相思了..哈哈不是相思病噢...是相思单糕.
想来个豆奶口味的但又怕不够香也不要蛋味太重的.
就做了一些调整,试试看效果如何 :D
出乎意料哦, 除了蛋糕有一点裂 ><以外, 成品还算挺满意得!!

It is soft and cottony with pleasant mild soy and pandan aroma.
Love the marble in the cake. It surprises you in each and every slice.
Slight shrink at the side of the cake.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt's really a nice cake and my hubby loves Soya cake. I would love to give it a try.
You mentioned in step 2, Part A to add all the ingredients with sugar but you did not indicate the qty of sugar in the ingredient.
Please advise.

Hi beauty,
DeleteThanks for compliment! Yes, this is a very nice cake, especially pandan juice is added.
You can add 1 tbsp of sugar in the yolk batter or you can omit it. I omitted it cause I want it to be 'kurang manis' :p
(I omitted in the ingredients part and forgot to edit the to do part :p. thanks for showing me my mistake)
Hope you will love this cake. Happy Baking:)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteFinally I found something I am looking for. Glad to bump into yr blog with all the clear direction of this recipe. Have tried other recipe but failed each time. I am hoping to try it soon but need to ask if it is okay to omit the Pandan ?
Thanks
A Beginner baker
Hi Berry,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog.
The Pandan is for the nice aroma. You may omit it if you like to add other flavor, like vanilla! Vanilla works well too. Hope you try this. Happy Baking!
Hi Mui Mui,
DeleteTried your recipe last nite. The cake turned out soft and fluffy but was wet below. The taste however a bit too eggy and not able to taste the soya milk. Did I do something wrong ?
Hi Berry,
DeleteI think you did it right. Since you mention the cake is soft , fluffy and moist but mine had no eggy taste. Lol.
This is a steam bake cake so it is more to moist side. Maybe you can let the cake invert for 5 minutes after taking out of the oven. Later you can un-mould it, tear away the bottom parchment paper and invert it again till it is cool to slice. This will keep the cake bottom more dry.
As for the soya milk taste it is very mild. That is why I uses Pandan leaves to add aroma to the cake. May be you can use some stronger flavor that you like to replace Pandan. Coffee, chocolate, orange, green tea or vanilla works well too.
Hope my answer does give you a clue about the cake.
Thanks for trying this out :)
