Cream Puff
Setelah sekian lama tidak membakar, kini hasil pertama dari dapur baru Smiley ialah Cream Puff 50 biji yang ditempah oleh kawan lama Smiley di SAMER dulu, Hafizah.
Ini kali ketiga beliau menempah, dimana 2 tempahan sebelum ini terpaksa ditolak atas sebab tak dapat dielakkan. Memang kali ini rezeki dia, sebab malam tadi rumah saya langsung tada air, so saya dah inform awal-awal takut tak dapat buat. Alhamdulillah, mungkin rezeki dia, lepas subuh pagi tadi, saya bangun air dah ada. Jadi, saya pon buat le cecepat sementara anak daraku yang menyusu itu tidur.
Terima kasih Fizah ;)
Eh, nak tengok dapur Smiley ker? meh le jenguk sini.

Cheesecake baking pan
It has been a very long time since the last time I update this blog. I miss baking very much! My baking activity is currently 'on long holiday' since the kitchen is under a major rennovation.
I don't want to leave this blog in gloomy. So today, I just to share a short for those cheesecake lovers who is planning to bake your own cheesecake.
The first basic tool , you must have a a springform pan. In basic, it consist of two parts: a circular flat bottom, and a side formed in a circle.
There are 2 types of cheesecake pans I ever known so far:
Type 1: Cheesecake pans with Removable Bottom.
Type 2 : Nonstick cheesecake pan made with a tight sealing high quality clamp. The bottom fits into the side, the side is then locked, and the pan has a top and bottom. When unlocked, the side opens and the bottom (and the cheesecake) can be removed.
You can find the pans in all baking supplies shop like Bagus and Bake with Yen.
Now, you have known with these 2 types of pan. So, which one to use?
Based on my experience, using the Type 1 pan is better than the non stick springform pan I have ever used. Guaranteed! These pans are covered under a lifetime guarantee against rusting, chipping, flaking, warping, and more! I can also remove either the baked or no baked cheesecake easily! What a peace of mind when the time to pack the cheesecake has come. I miss baking!!.
Hope this info benefit you all. Happy Baking! Any question just send email to fara_aiza@yahoo.com.

Super Moist Choc Cake
Ingredients:
A
250 gm cake flour/superfine flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
B
250 gm butter
450gm castor sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
4 eggs (B size)
C
70gm cocoa powder
1 2/3 cupsa (350 ml) cold water (from the fridge)
Methods:
1. Sift together all A
2. Combine and mix C until smooth. Set aside in fridge to maintain coldness.
3. Cream butter, sugar, & vanila until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
4. At low speed, add A alternately with cocoa mixture. Mix until smooth
5. Pour into pans. Note: Brush the pan with shortening / margarine first ok.
6. Bake for 1 hr - 1 hr & 15 min at 175 deg. ( I recommend you to check the cake after 1 hr baked to prevent overbaked. You can check using cake tester, the cake is ready if the tester comes out clean after inserted into the center of the cake)
Frosting:
1. Simple Choc frosting
3/4 cup of cocoa powder
1 small tin of condensed milk
1 table spoon cooking oil (not the used one)
Method: Mix together all ingredients in a bowl. Simmer it until the cream is thick using double boiler method. You may pour it immediately on the cake. Reminder: You cannot deco the frosting by using nozzle.
2.Choc Ganache
500 gm cooking choc
200 gm double cream/whipping cream
Methods:
1. Chop the choc into small cubes and put aside.
2. Heat the whipping cream until bubbles.
3. Turn off heat and add chocolate.
4. Slowly whisk mixture until smooth and well combined
5. Let cool to room temperature
You may deco by using Spatula and pipe it using nozzle with Choc Ganache. It's also taste very good than the simple choc frosting above. I simply love it.
