Nigella's Mother in-law Madeira Cake ~马德拉蛋糕

It;s Bake Along time again. This round Bake Along #79 event is baking My Mother-in-law's Madeira Cake. This recipe is from the book of How to be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson or here. So you know it is her mother-in-law. It is interesting, isn't it? To find out how does this interesting cake taste like? i have to bake one.
This cake has a firm, yet light texture. It is nice to eat with tea and it is traditionally flavored with lemon. It is a sponge cake in traditional English cookery. (want know more about the history of this cake here

I baked 2/3 of the original recipe to suit a slim, long loaf tin that i have. I am glad that the cake turn out so well. Happy~ ^_^ ~
为了配合我的长又高挑的模子就把食谱减成2/3的分量。做出来的效果好好,很开心呀!


香喷喷呀!! 马德拉岛蛋糕好好吃!虽然是命名为马德拉岛蛋糕但这蛋糕不是来自马德拉岛。
是来自葡萄牙,通常做成长条状。 19世纪蛋糕造成后,传统都是以马德拉酒同奉上,但现在则用茶。 蛋糕是类似一款简单的磅蛋糕。组织幼细,松而富有浓郁的奶油和柠檬香气。


My Mother-in -law's Madeira Cake
Recipe adapted from How To Be a Domestic Goddess or here
makes 1 loaf (i scale down to 2/3 from the original portion for my 27cm long x 23 cm width and 3 cm height loaf pan)

Ingredients:
180g unsalted butter, at room temperature
105g castor sugar
grated zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon (wash with some salt to get rid of the wax)
2 'B' eggs
158g self raising flour (i don't have self raising flour; i added 2 tsp baking powder to 158g plain flour)
68g plain flour

To Do:
  1. Buttered and lined a loaf tin. 
  2. Cream butter and sugar, and add in lemon zest.
  3. Add in eggs, one at a time, with a tablespoon of flour for each.
  4. Then gently mix in the rest of the flour and finally the lemon juice.
  5. Sprinkle with castor sugar (i used 1 tablespoon only) as it goes into the oven and bake for 1 hour or until the cake-tester comes out clean.
  6.  Let the cake cool on wire rack, before turning it out.

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...
