Almond Coffee Pound Cake
Recipe source:  Ann of Anncoo Journal

Ingredients:
     150g Butter
     120g Brown Sugar
     1/2 tsp Salt
     3 Eggs (60g), lightly beaten
     1/2 tbsp Instant coffee powder (I used Indocafe)
     1 tbsp Kahlua/rum
     170g Plain flour + 1 tsp Baking powder,   sifted
     2 tbsp Ground almond
     1 tbsp Fresh milk
     Amond flakes for topping

     Method:
Line one 8 x 4 1/2 inches cake pan all sides up and set aside.
Cream butter, sugar and salt at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Gradually add beaten eggs little by little until combined and add coffee powder and kahlua it and mix well.
Sift the plain flour and baking powder the second time directly to the batter with ground almond and gently fold well with a rubber spatula. Then add 1 tbsp fresh milk into it and fold the batter to smooth.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan and sprinkle almond flakes on top
Bake at preheated oven at 190C for 10 minutes. Then reduce temperature to 170C and bake for another 25 - 30 minutes or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Leave cake to cool in cake pan for 10 minutes and remove cake, then place on to rack to cool completely.

I hope you will ENJOY this as much as i do..:)

  14. I tried to bake pound cake before trying to bake sponge cake, it is not so easily go wrong compare to sponge cake.
    Your pound cake looks moist and dense, I am currently breastfeeding my baby, so coffee is not an option to me for this short while, will try it when I am 'free'again, I love coffee cakes

    1. Stephanie,
      Your are a great mum. I always thought breast feeding mummies are awesome and made a great investment in their child 's health.

      This cake is full of coffee aroma.
      Yes, do try this when you are 'free'.

Hokkaido Chiffon Cake - A Cake that will make you Smile (Bake Along #64)

I baked this cake once, twice, thirce and now i lost count BUT everytime i bake this cake i feel HAPPY. Hope this happy thoughts and feeling will spread to YOU ^_^ Happy that the cake rise beautifully and with almost no shrink or crack. Happy that my boys and friends love this cake. I baked this chiffon cupcake again for Bake Along event. I am going to Bake Along with these 3 beautiful ladies again.  This is a revisit of this recipe - HERE The previous post of Hokkaidao chiffon cupcake, i used durian cream as filling. Now in this post i used vanilla whipped cream/Chantilly cream as filling. I love to use dairy whipping cream as filling. Just add adequate of icing sugar/castor sugar to the whipping  cream and whisked it to light and fluffy. Then mix in any flavor that you like into the cream and piped it into the cake. Saw some nice and fresh bluberries in the supermarket, i quickly grab some for decoration :D Nice and smooth sides.    Moist, soft and fl

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
