Haha.. i normally already decide what I would like to bake in the weekends and plan it ahead cos I only have morning 7am-10am (abt 2-3 hrs in Sat & Sun) to spare while my kids are still sleeping or watching their cartoons. Tarts dough are made on Fri nite ( 1 hr) and cream cheese/baking done on Sat. Pork Floss roll bread and Coca bread are from the same bread dough, I just split it into 2 and make 2 different types of bread.

I am not as good as what you all find me lah...Actually hor, I likes your bakes and cooking too :hugs:

Haha, that is why I cannot manage so many dishes/bakes over a weekend. I am very much a 'mood' baker. Will whip up whatever I feel like at that moment or whatever I can with existing ingredients.

Sometimes if the mood strikes me, I can be baking into the wee hours of the morning. :siao: Think the one that suffer is my helper. I will tell her no need to stay up, I will clean up after I am done but she will still hover around until I am done and clean up.

LKVM, I tried it today at my centre with my staff. My staff tasted the cake fresh out of the microwave and all of them liked it. Hmmmm... not a very discerning bunch when it comes to food. :razz:


Try it with your kids. This is my altered recipe. You need to use the biggest coffee mug you can find at home or else it might overflow.

4 tbsp self raising flour
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tbsp fresh milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Put all the dry ingredients into the mug and stir till well mixed.
Add egg and stir well until you get a thick paste. Remember to reach all the way to the bottom of the mug
Add milk and butter and stir well
Lastly, add the vanilla essence

Put it into your microwave oven. Microwave it on high for 3 mins and you get your cake.

Easy as that. You can add choc chip or chopped nuts if you want. Best to be eaten fresh out of the oven with a scoop of ice-cream, as it tends to get dry after some time.

Try it and see if you like it.

oh! i got it, let's me try it out. :thankyou:
microwave oven referring to the microwave which we normally heat up the dishes right?
tbsp = normal spoon?
sorry for asking all those silly questions

[Funz]

Arrggghh!!! No no. Not this recipe.


This one is for fun. If you want to impress your hubby, use this one.

Steamed Chocolate Cake
180 g butter
200 g caster sugar (reduced to 180g)
200 g full cream evaporated milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten with fork
100 g plain flour
50 g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tsp vanilla essense
2 tbsp of rum (optional)
Method
1. Combine sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla essence and butter in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter has melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add the beaten eggs into the slightly cooled mixture and stir till well mixed.
3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs mixture over the flour and stir till smooth. (Batter should be runny).
4. Heat up the steamer. Line and grease a 7\" baking pan. Pour the batter into prepared pan and place into the steamer. Cover the top of the pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Steam over medium heat for 45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, steam for a further 5 minutes.

LKVM used this recipe but she baked instead of steamed it.
