Ingredients:
A250 gm cake flour/superfine flour

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 frosting3/4 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.
Cream puff ini dibuat sempena majlis perpisahan setiausaha my GM in my division. Kawan-kawan yang anjurkan small party ni bagitau very last minute which is on late afternoon- Thursday. Jadi, bila sampai umah dok fikir apa yang mudah nak dibakar, teringat la cream puff. So saya buat 24 biji bawa ke pejabat.
Yang ni plak ditempah Kak Mona dr Annexe 1. Saya buat 3 perisa: Choc, Lemon & Blueberry.
