Choco-mint Sarawak layer cake (砂捞越可可薄荷千层糕)


Kek lapis Sarawak, is one of the specialty of Sarawak. This layer cake comes in different flavor and different colors between the layers. Normally this layer cakes can only be seen in Raya time. In fasting month you will see lots of different design of layer cakes(kek lapis) selling in the puasa(fasting) month market. The whole cake will be selling for 85 ringgit which is expensive :p But then they will also cut the cake into 4 long bars and sell individually ..which makes it affordable to buy.


               



This Raya I am baking a Kek Lapis for 2 of my Malay friends. I am baking Kek Lapis Coklat Mint aka Choco-mint Sarawak layer cake.

Normally layer cakes required more egg yolks then egg white to yield moist and softer texture for the cake. Some layer cake required 25 egg yolks but this one I am using is only using 10 eggs yolks and 6 egg whites. The left over egg whites is going to be one of the ingredients of my egg white sandwich loaf. Will be sharing after this.

** In the first place, I did not intend to post this layer cake but a reader request for a Chinese version of layer cake recipe. Then I thought this is my latest bake, why not share this in a post...so this is specially for this reader 'December'

做法:
1) 把B材料打发. 备用.
2) 把A材料打发至浓.滑.
3) 把B加入A拌均. 分成一样多的三份.
4) 三份 的第一份加入C料, 第二份加入2-3滴的绿色, 第三份是原味.
5) 以上下火预热烤箱5分钟.

  5. Gosh, it's been years since I last had kek lapis Sarawak! I've not been back to KCH since 2008. I love the idea of your putting together choc and mint and these 2 ingredients work very well together. Reminds me of After Eight ;-). It's quite a laborious task making those layers, but the end result is just worth it, isn't it? Glad you have reduced the egg counts. Thumbs up from me :-D

  7. I am glad that you have shared this with us. Love kuih lapis but the thought of using more than 20 egg yolks somehow stop me from making it but your recipe gives me a second thought of making this.

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
