Grandma's birthday cake..^^ 外婆的生日蛋糕

Every year when it comes to my dear grandma's birthday, all of us her grandchildren will have to prepare a dish to bring over for dinner. It is just like having potluck gathering for our family. Everyone of us enjoy it this way for years.

This year it is special for me, because I am preparing a birthday cake for my dear 外婆..^^
I make a simple cake but with all my heart...:p It is a Sponge cake with kiwi filling, sandwich in between.

Sponge cake:
4 grade 'A' eggs
65gms castor sugar
15gms ovalette
25ml milk
90gms plain flour ~ sieved
55ml melted butter

To do:
1) Lined greaseproof paper on a 23cm x 27cm swiss roll baking tray.
2) Beat eggs, sugar, milk and ovalette until foamy and thick. (Take about 5-8 minutes to beat) Turn mixture to low and blend in the flour just to combine.
3) With low speed slow pour in the melted butter while beating. Do not over beat the mixture.
4) Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray and baking at 180c for 20 minutes.

                                                                    
                                                                          ~ Side view ~

Icing of the cake:
300ml Non dairy whipping cream
2-3 tbsp Bakels kiwi filling

To do:
1) Whisk the non dairy whipping cream in medium speed until it is double the volume but do not over beat it. ( If over beat it will turn to watery and will not hold its shape)
2) Take out half of the beaten cream and mix with the kiwi filling and spread on one of the sponge cake. Lay the other sponge cake on top.
3) Use the left over cream to spread on the whole cake and add on the decorations.

Decorations of the cake:
some cooking chocolate
some royal icing flowers
2 sugar gumpaste ladybugs
some kiwi fillings

A Sarawak Cake ~ Cake Hitam ( 砂劳越的蛋糕 ~ 黑美人蛋糕)

Sarawak is famous of its' Steamed Cakes and Layer Cakes (Kek Lapis). Steamed Cakes in Sarawak are mostly steamed for hours. I have done a steamed cake that took me 7 hours to cook. Can you imagine that!!  Crazy me!! I can't believe that i have done it just because i love that particular cake so much. I have tasted the cake in a Malay friend's house while go visiting on a Hari Raya. The name of that Cake is Kek Hati Parek. This Malay friend of mine, she is so so kind to share her recipe to me. This will be share in future.  砂劳越有好几种著名的蛋糕. 其中有千层蛋糕和蒸蛋糕.  我各人很喜欢蒸的蛋糕.  砂劳越的蒸蛋糕通常是需要蒸上2个小时以上.  记得我成蒸过一粒蒸蛋糕用了7个小时. 是不是有点'疯了' 7个小时!! 当时, 真的! 太喜欢那蛋糕了(Hati Parek 蛋糕) . 是在有一年的开斋节拜访一位马来朋友时在她家吃过. 就回味无穷. 跟她要了食谱:D  今天先不谈7个小时的蒸蛋糕, 就留下次吧!

This cake is also known as Kek Serikaya (Screwpine custard Cake) or Kek Belacan (Shrimp paste ...
