Easy Banana Cake 香蕉蛋糕

Time flies and in a split second we are now in 2016, the year of Monkey!  Didn't we just have New Year Day yesterday?

I haven’t seemed to have the free time as I thought I would have in blogging even though I quit my 9-5 office work since June 2015. Well, this year I think I need to include blogging as one of my year 2016 resolutions, no more monkeying around!

Today is day 2 of Chinese Monkey year. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends, relatives and readers a prosperous and healthy Monkey year ahead.




To celebrate Monkey year, let’s just bake something with his favourite food - Bananas.

I have been trying out this banana cake recipe for a few times and very pleased with its taste and the simple method used. This recipe was adapted from Agnes Chang “ I can Bake” recipe book.



To have great flavored banana cake, it is best to use ripe bananas. Back in Malaysia, I find among local bananas Pisang Berangan a.k.a. Ang Bak chio, which means “red flesh” bananas in Hokkien with the size about 10 to 12cm long, is best for making cakes when it is fully ripe.



Other than butter cake, this is another popular cake in our family that I used to make for festival and prayer ceremony to my late mother and parents-in-law.

The following was the second version of Banana cake that I have attempted. By adding few table spoons of chocolate hazelnut spread ( Nutella), it became a great Nutella marble banana cake.






Good to have my mischievous helper to help me mashed the bananas.  





Easy Banana Cake

Source: Agnes Chang’s I can Bake

Ingredients: 180g unsalted butter
180g castor sugar ( I reduced to 150g and used brown sugar)
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, coarsely mashed and mixed with 1 tbsp of lime/lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
1/8 banana essence optional (I used Vanilla essence)
3 tbsp of milk mixed ( I used 6 tbsp)


Dry ingredients :
240g plain flour or self raising flour
1tsp of baking powder
1tsp of baking soda


(You can opt to use self raising flour and to omit both baking powder and soda if using self raising flour)

Methods:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C for 15 minutes. 
2. Lightly grease a loaf tin or line it with grease-proof paper.
3. Sieve flour and set aside.
4. Mix butter and sugar using low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and beat until light and pale in yellow. (Note: Sugar has not dissolved yet).
5. Add in the first egg, beat well after each addition of egg until creamy.
6. Scrape down the sides for even mixing.
7. Mix in the mashed bananas (add in bananas/vanilla essence and milk at this stage if you are using). Pour in the sifted dried ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
8. Pour the batter into the greased baking tin. Shake and tap on table lightly to distribute cake mixture evenly and to get the air out.
9. Place the cake at the middle rack in the oven.
10. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. If a toothpick/skewer comes out clean, it is done.
11. Remove it from the oven and leave the cake in the tray to cool on the rack for 5 minutes before removing from tray.

Japanese Light Cheesecake (日式芝士蛋糕)

 

I have attempted two cheesecake baking experiences in the past, using the recipes from well known cook books that I have. However, I was disappointed to note that both attempts were not successful.

On both occasions, the cakes I made failed with poor cake appearances, either with cracked surface or sunk/collapsed center. Since then, I have given up cheesecake baking and only work on non-baked cheesecakes.

Not until recently when I was back in Penang, my good buddy YL bought me a new cake mold that inspired me to give it another try.

This time, knowing YL who was also a keen baker herself specializing in cheesecake baking; namely durian cheesecake, I sought her advice to learn her secret of success. She generously shared her customized recipe with me to give it another shot.

So, this time guess how did it go?

Even though with limited baking utensils and using a much smaller and unfamiliar oven in my sister-in-law’s ( SIL), LC’s kitchen….

Nonetheless, this was what came out from the oven….

Yes! I finally nailed it !

IMG_20150916_085614

Hurray! I had a crack free and collapse free cheesecake!

IMG_20150916_091738

 

However, there was a minor flaw with the cake texture. It was slightly damp at one of the corners at the bottom of cake.

This was because one of the corners of the mold was leaking and the aluminum foil I used was not double layered. I also didn’t firmly wrap the bottom of the baking mold. In the end, it resulted in some water sipping into the bottom layer of the cake and causing a damp corner.

From the recipe, I noticed the difference of the recipe was the flour content. She used very little flour in her recipe. In addition, corn flour was added in it too!  Chiffons method was used by whisking egg whites into soft peak then only mixed well with the cream cheese batter creating a light and fluffy effect. No wonder the cake was not dense and felt lighter.

I made this cake on September 16th (916) Malaysia day.  I was overwhelmed to see the cake come out perfectly. With my dad’s birthday falling on the same day, this cake was just nice to be used to celebrate his 85th birthday this year.

IMG-20150922-WA0024

Thank God my dad liked and enjoyed eating the cake very much. I was on cloud nine with his compliments on the taste and appearance of the cake being better than those commercially made cakes.  His comments definitely made my day!Smile

Other than the cake, I also made my signature crispy roasted pork belly.

With the help from my SIL, we successfully prepared a sumptuous home cooked birthday dinner for dad. It was a great dinner especially when you enjoyed it with your loved ones.

IMG_20150916_091621

A) Cake Ingredients

250ml milk

240g cream cheese

60g butter

2 tsp. lemon juice ( helps cake set faster and brown slower and reduce the richness of the cream cheese)

 

B) Cake Ingredients

55g flour

20g corn flour

 

C) Cake Ingredients

6 eggs ( separated into egg white and yolks)

130g castor sugar

 

Method

 

1. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler.

2. Cool the mixture and fold in egg yolks, flour, corn flour and mix well. Strain mixture to remove lumps.

3. Beat egg white until foamy, gradually add sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks.

4. Add egg white mixture and fold into the strained egg yolk and cream cheese mixture by 3 batches and mix well in one direction.

5.Bang the mixing bowl on top of worktop 3-4 times hard to reduce the air bubbles on the cake, before placing into oven and bake in a preheated oven ( 170 C) using water bath for 45 minutes at 160C.

6. When the cake is done ( test with a skewer when come out clean), switch off the power and leave cake in the oven for 10 minutes and thereafter leave the door ajar for 20 minutes.

7. Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before removing it from the pan and peeling off the baking paper.

 

Tips:

· To avoid cake shrinking quickly, leave it in the oven (while off) with the oven door ajar until cake cool down then remove.

  • To avoid bottom of cake from becoming  too dense, must fold the egg white evenly with cheese batter in one direction.
  • To avoid cake browning too quickly, place tray at the bottom instead of in the middle rack of the oven. 

     

     

     

    日式芝士蛋糕

    A)蛋糕配料

    250毫升奶

    240克芝士奶油奶酪

    60克

    2茶匙。柠檬汁

     

    B)蛋糕配料

    55克低筋面粉

    20克玉米粉

     

    C)蛋糕配料

    6个鸡蛋(分成蛋清和蛋黄)

    130克幼糖

     

     

    方法

    1.用双煮沸法,熔芝士奶油奶酪,油和牛奶 时不时搞拌,直至完全溶解,没有粒粒和平滑把碗移离小锅待凉。

     

    2.待放凉些才加蛋黄拌匀拌入柠檬汁。先把低筋粉和粟粉拌匀。分三次筛入芝士混合物中,每次务必拌匀,确定没粉粒。再过筛芝士混合物以去块状物。

    4.分3批次把蛋白霜加入蛋黄和奶油奶酪面糊中后同一方向拌匀。

     

    5.把面糊倒进焗盘中后,在台面上敲3-4次以减少气泡在蛋糕上,再置入另一个大焗盘。倒进半满的热水,小心放入焗炉中最低的炉架上以放置到烤箱和烘烤用水浴中法 以160℃烘烤45分钟。

     

    6.当蛋糕完成(用竹签插进中央,如没面糊黏着,表示蛋糕熟透

    ),关闭电源,让蛋糕在烤箱待多10分钟后开门虚掩20分钟。

     

    7. 从烤箱取出蛋糕冷却30分钟蛋糕脱模在铁架上放凉。

     

    温馨提示:

    • 为了避免蛋糕迅速萎缩,必免立刻把蛋糕取出。蛋糕留在烤箱,把烤箱门虚掩着,直到蛋糕冷却下来再取出。
    • 为了避免蛋糕底部太密集,当把蛋白霜加入蛋黄和奶油奶酪面糊中后要同一方向拌匀。
    • 为了避免蛋糕太快上色,把烤盘放置在托盘底部,而不是烤箱的中间机架。

    Mrs NgSK’s Butter Cake 牛油蛋糕

     

    Butter cake again ? Recipe #3

    Following up from my previous post, here I am introducing another great butter cake recipe from a blog which I came across while I was researching on butter cake recipes.

    I was glad that my trial turned out successful. The cake tasted really soft and moist as claimed by the blog post. The main difference of this recipe as compared to the last 2 recipes I blogged before was this recipe required the egg whites and yolks to be separated and to beat the white and sugar into stiff egg white. More skill was needed to make this cake as stiff egg white was not easy to make.

      Butter Cake 牛油蛋糕

      Butter cake recipe # One

      For many baking rookies, this seem to be one of the basic cakes to try out with right? I was one of them. However, I soon found out that this cake was not as easy as it may have seemed to be rated by most of the recipes.

      When baking butter cake, I bet many of you might experience one or both of the following problems, which to me was really demotivating.

      1st – Why my butter cake taste dry?
      So far, I had attempted 3 times, with 3 different types of butter and experienced 3 different consistency of moistness.  Apparently, to yield a moist buttery butter cake, the key is very much depending on the type of butter and liquid used in the recipe.

      2nd – Why my butter cake crack in the middle? So far, out of the 3 trials, only the recent birthday cake that l made for my son turned out with perfect flat and smooth surface. In my previous two attempts, the cakes cracked miserably in the middle like an earthquake. So, what did I do in my recent trial that made a difference from the previous ones? For this trial, even though I did use a different recipe but I believed the key change was more of using a round cake pan rather than a loaf pan, which I happened to use for my previous 2 butter cakes.

      Thanks to Joy of Baking that helped to solve my mystery. In her blog, she pointed out most cakes baked in loaf, bar or ring pans crack slightly due to the confined space. Hence, if smaller cake pan is used, it is much easier for the cake to rise and crack in the center. In addition, oven temperature also plays an important factor - too hot an oven temperature causes the cake to peak faster in the middle and erupt, resulting in cracks.

      To avoid too hot an oven, it is best to bake with lower temperature in the beginning ( around 160/170 degree Celsius) and adjust placement of the cake to bottom rack of oven instead of the middle rack to make the top brown slower than the sides.

      The following were the loaf butter cakes I made comparing to the one bought in a store. Both had the same crack effect in the center. I baked these 3 loaf of butter cakes in April during Qīngmíng festival (清明節) prayer to pay honour to my late mother and parents-in-law.

      buttercake_collage

      Initially, it was disappointing seeing the cracked cakes came out from the oven. However, when my family members especially my father who tasted the cake and praised highly its moistness and buttery taste with positive comments that the cake was tastier than those from the store, I felt so much relieved!clip_image001[4]

      This butter cake recipe is adapted from Agnes Chang's Baking Made Easy, (蓝赛珍,轻轻松松学烘焙) but I added more milk in the recipe to give it more moisture. For this recipe, I used Buttercup brand butter which was not really butter but margarine. I was surprised that the cake turned out to be as moist and buttery as a branded butter.

      Last month 14th of July, in celebrating my son’s 10th birthday, I did another attempt by using an expensive branded butter, SCS butter. This time I opted for a different recipe, adapted from Christine’s Recipes Butter Pound Cake. Click the link to access this recipe directly from her famous food blog.


          roundbuttercake_collage

      I was pleased to see a crack free round butter cake. clip_image001[6]However, my family felt that the taste of this cake was drier and not as moist as my previous butter cake. I was not sure whether it was due to the change of recipe or the butter that I used. 

      Thanks to hubby’s great calligraphy writing skill that transformed this plain looking butter cake into a nice looking birthday cake. clip_image001[7]
