I've baked a few cakes since last week.. I find that cooking & baking really helps when I'm stressed.. There have been matters that been running through my mind lately.. and i'm homesick as well.. huhu..
My dear husband bought me a cooking book a few months ago & he wrote in it 'desserts are stressed spelled backwards'.. and it's very true;) when I'm in the kitchen, I just indulge myself in cooking and it makes me feel good.. I can forget about my worries & stress.. just enjoy the smell & tastes of the food.. and of course serving them makes me feel even better.. and the best part,seeing people enjoying the food:)
Today,my friends came over from Cork.. I cooked nasi lemak & I baked pandan chiffon cake as specially requested by them.. this is not my first time baking the cake .. the 1st trial was a total disaster.. the 2nd was much better.. and this time,alhamdulillah.. it's not easy to get the right texture.. and after surfing the internet,I found the mistakes.. And I guess they are the common mistakes that people make.. I've learned a few steps that are important:
- don't use a non-stick chiffon cake mould.. and don't grease it..
- whipped the white eggs until it's stiff
- quickly invert the mould once taken out of the oven
- Don't remove the mould while the cake is still hot.
and my dear husband made a dessert as well!! i don't know that's the real name of this dessert.. we just called it rice crispies choc:) the recipe was given by one of his consultants.. thanks for the recipe.. it was a very simple recipe yet it was delicious..
P/s: we're both on holidays next week! hoorayy!!
