Thanks to Bake Along hosts Lena, Joyce and Zoe for having this Marble Butter cake as this month theme. Thanks again to Jeannie for sharing her marble cake recipe and thanks again to Wendy for her mrs ngsks butter cake. 

谢谢Bake Along 活动的主持人们 - Lena, Joyce 和Zoe选择了云石奶油蛋糕当这个月活动的主题, 让我终于动手烘了这个很想尝试的奶油蛋糕食谱. 也谢谢Jeannie分享了同个食谱.

Alright!! stop thanking now..lol
This marble butter cake recipe is a keeper. 
这个mrs ngsks奶油蛋糕食谱太棒了. 原食谱来自Wendy, 也谢谢她!!


The cake is moist, soft with fine texture. My fil (father in law) loves butter cake very much.  He loves the butter aroma and  he said its filling and not like cotton soft cake has no texture like butter cake and it is too soft and too spongy :p :p
 我家公爱吃奶油蛋糕. 他说奶油蛋糕香,有口感又吃的包. 不像海面蛋糕太柔软了,咬没东西. ><


It has got a almost flat top :D
The side are nice straight and flat.

Can't wait to taste the cake. I slice the cake when it is still warm.
不能等了!! 蛋糕还没凉透,就切了.

 This is the first slice, first bite. Emmmm...so nice!!

top, from left to right:  Mixed cocoa powder with 2 Tbsp of hot water and set aisde.
Fold 1/3 of the egg white meringue into butter mixture
Add a thin layer of plain batter into the prepared baking tin and spread evenly.
Add dollop of cocoa batter onto the plain batter.
bottom, from left to right: Add dollop of plain batter 
Again add dollop of cocoa batter
Follow with plain batter again, Use a butter knife swirl the batter.
 Follow with the last dollops of cocoa batter and lightly swirl the top.

Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form.

Nice and delicious marble butter cake is done  ^_^

  19. Doreen , your butter cake looks fab ! If not for the title I would think that it's a sponge cake since it looks tall and has a fluffy texture :D

  20. hi doreen, i also think a lot of guys prefer butter cakes than the softer cakes..like what you said, they also like the buttery and the denser texture compared to soft cottony cakes..i like both! LOL! this is a great recipe and your marble pattern is pretty, thx for joining !

  22. Can I use all purpose flour and baking powder instead or self raising flour?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Jade,
      Yes, you can use all purpose flour and add baking powder. I normally will do that too.

      This is my measurement for my home made self raising flour ... lol
      125ml all purpose flour add 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
      For this recipe of 200 g flour, I use 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp baking soda.
      Hope this does give you some help :)
      Happy baking :)

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
