Alika's Cake

Hi..hi..it's been so long not chit chat 'bout "the tiny kitchen", since I've struck with "baking blue"upfh... but, I think this syndrome should be gone away, if no...hmm how poor my lil fam ;)

Just right to release this syndrome, I've tried my first debut worked with "fondant". Called fondant is made from icing sugar, the taste is really sweet & children might like it. This cake dedicated to my beloved lil daughter for her birthday. Please take a look ....

Base cake as usual is cheese steam brownies (brownies kukus keju), covered with a thin buttercream than wrapped it with fondant...volaaaaaaa...

As usual, my oldest daughter take a part while I mixed the fondant. Both cloth & her hands are soiled & caked with dirt, but it's ok. I knew, she just want to know, what was her mom's doing?means she was curious, her sense would be more creative, dont you think so? So...i let her to make her own creation, put this colour to another then added flour on it. It's so nasty...but it's ok *lol*
What a pity I didnt take a picture her creation, so...please enjoy her mom's creation ;)

We have fun played with fondant, it's like play a children dough....thank you for reading CU

Cheese Carrot Cake

Another menu come out from my tiny kitchen, this is it (ala chef version) cheese carrot cake. It should a healthy cake coz of unusage of butter or margarine & substitute to an oil. You can use an olive oil, it much better I think. Also, it might another solution to the picky eater especially vegetable, 'coz The ingredients is used pretty much of carrot. And this time I made from import carrot, more juicy & sweet.

Many recipe I had read, most of all recommend to frost with cream cheese, but what a pity I dont have any cream cheese at my fridge. I had took apart my kitchen closet, pfuhhh finally I still have a whip cream. No matter, although No cream cheese here I can made them with whippy.... yippiiii......
This cake made 2 version, one is long haired cheese and another is choco ganache (I'll posting later).

Take a look at the slice, cutting of carrot still emerge clearly right? Yeach, I intentional to made them clearly visible, coz i want get a crisp sensation on it. Yess, It did i've got it in a bite ;) you should try this healthy cake.

Martabak Manis Keju

Berawal dari hoby makan (hueehehhehe...terus terang banged ;) ) apa aja, dari yang manis, pedes, asin, gurih mpe yang pait...halah lebay abis. Jadi suka termotivasi buat cuba-cuba, termasuk si "martabak manis" ini. Lah, gw kalo disodorin satu loyang martabak (tp yang "hokky" punya loh) manis keju, bisa kalap tuch mo tak abisin aja rasanya hehehe maruk.com . Trus yang laen ngga makan donk kalo gw yang abisin hehehehe, yaa....beli lagi aja. Bangkrut- bangkrut dech :P

Kebetulan waktu itu dimilis pernah rame ngebahas tentang si pancake indonesia ini. Pilihan jatuh ke resepnya Puji Acha, testi nya katanya sech empuk. Penasaran donk, masa iya sech bikin pancake nya indonesia aja ngga bisa ;) . Untungnya dirumah selalu stock "raw material" untuk bikin cake, yach kalo cuma butter , margarin, telor, terigu, gula, dtt (dan temen-temennya) insya ALLAH ada, ya untuk menanggulangi keinginan mendadak kayak gini ini, pengen makan martabak, tapi males keluar ;P

Ngeraciknya juga cepet, sambil nunggu adonan ngembang gw nge-resik-resik in anak2. Jadi begitu anak2 selesai, adonan siap panggang. Satu resep gw jadiin 2x panggang, cuma yang pertama terlalu tipis jadinya isian nya tebel banget, tetep enak sech ;) Yang satu loyang lagi, dilempar ke rumah mama, dari pada ngga habis tul ga?

Bukannya narsis yach, tp gw rasa taste nya ngga beda jauh dengan martabak langganan..empuk banget. Enaknya lagi untuk isiannya, bisa suka-suka. Mo diisi keju+SKM yang buanyak mpe maghteg, diisi pisang+keju, raisin+keju, kacang+coklat, keju+coklat atau original taste coklat meijses ikut selera.
Intinya trial yang pertama ini gw puas, next time gw mo fokus ke tekstur martabaknya gimana supaya rasanya nyesss gitu.

Banana Cake

Dalam Rangka memberdayakan pisang apkir (pisang yang dah kematengan, warnanya sdh hitam tapi ngga busuk), tak ubek2 lah contekan resep2 yang belum pernah dicobain. Resep Banana cake sebenarnya banyak versinya, ada yang "sponge" cake style ada juga yang "butter cake" style. Kalo yang ini versi buttercake, tapi teksturnya ngga padet koq malah moist banget. Kayanya ini resep bakal jadi andalan dech, soalnya rasanya pas banget. Pas anget yo...uenak, pas dingin ya legit menggigit.

Tapi lain kali, mentega nya tak combine dengan margarine biar ngga blenek gitu rasanya. Soal'e butter kan kerasa banget susune, jadi aroma pisang nya ilang ;) .

Divariasi kan dengan kacang almond sebagai toppingnya, atau raisin (kismis) kedalam adonan bisa menambah sensasi & menambah penampilan banana cake jadi istimewa....selamat menikmati
