Black Bottom Butter Cake

Ni bukan kek bontot terbakar tau. hehe. Found this recipe over the net, tapi tak ingat sumbernya. Definitely a keeper, won't change a bit! Kek adalah moist, fluffy dan yang penting tak manis.Patutnya recipe ni untuk buat marble cake, tapi kerana tahu kebolehan diri untuk memarblekan kek adalah terhad, maka, kita ubah sahaja jadi black bottom butter cake.

90gm castor sugar

1/4 tsp salt (I omit)

300g condensed milk

3 tsp vanilla essence

240g cake flour (I used all purpose flour)

1.5 tsp baking powder (I used 2 tsp)

10.Bake in a preheated oven at 170deg for 45 mins.

Pengat Pisang

Husband was fasting last Thursday. Kita kalau puasa kan, bila berbuka mesti suka something sweet. Teringin nak makan bubur pisang. (sebenarnya ko yang nak makan kan...) Since ada balance pisang tanduk dalam esbok, kita pun buat la pengat pisang ni. 

Dah nak masuk 13 tahun kawen, ini la first time i buat pengat pisang you. Belajar ngan mak over the phone. Mengalahkan orang nak amek peksa final geoteknik, berguru bagai. :P

Ingredients:-

Air

Pisang tanduk

Gula melaka

Gula putih

2 helai daun pandan

2 sudu besar sagu

Garam

Santan pekat

Cara-cara:-

1. Masak air dengan gula melaka, gula putih dan daun pandan. Bila dah mendidih, masukkan pisang tanduk yang telah dihiris tebal.

2. Masak air gula dengan pisang sehingga nampak air gula pisang tu keluar dari pisang. Tak reti aku nak explain.

3. Masukkan sagu dan santan pekat. Kacau elok-elok. Masukkan secubit geram untuk menambahkan rasa lemak.

I love it warm.
