BAKED NEW YORK STYLE CHEESE CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY SWIRL

When i first start baking, New york Cheese cake was my first choice…now i’m wondering why i chose this cake when at that time i know nothing about cake..not even a little…with only a magazine recipe as guide i bake this cake and guess what? They love it and asking for the recipe. Today i will share my new york cheese cake with blueberry swirl on top…and i am not sure if it still called NEW YORK CHEESE CAKE cos i have added blueberry on it..hehehe

This cake , very dangerous for someone who is on diet but who care right? when it come to this cake everything is possible.. ok..back to the recipe, make sure you read everything carefully before making this…you dont want to waste all the ingredient right? In this recipe you will need 1 kg of cream cheese and It quite expensive though. So please read before you start. I am not saying that i am an expert but it based on my own experiance. Start when you are ready and fully understand what you are going to do. I’ve been throungh an experience when i was mean to making banana cake and in the middle of the process i forgot to put my mashed banana …and the bad thing is i didnt realize until i already put my batter into the steamer for a couple of minute.

Please choose a good quality cream cheese such philadelpia cream cheese . I have been use other brand like xxxxx sorry cant mention the brand here..and it quite salty . Of course there is still a lot more good quality brand of cream cheese out there but please choose the one that you familiar with.

2nd, sour cream…it so difficult to find it at my place , i’m not sure in your place but if you can’t find it dont worry…there are substitution for it. You can substitute with greek style yogurt..what if you cant find this too? Well you can use plain yogurt but make sure to drain the access of water on it…what if no yogurt ? Well 1 thing i can advice here is just forget about it..you can say goodbye to new york cheese cake and try another recipe…

3rd , if you using springform pan try not to use foil to cover the bottom with proposed to prevent the water from seep inside the cake..it doesn’t work trust me..the water will still able to seep inside..i’m not sure if i should blame the foil or my self.. but i’m certainly sure that i’m doing it right just it still leaking somehow…here i would like to suggest you to used another baking pan that bigger than your springform pan…you gonna put your springform pan inside and this is the safety way to prevent the water from seep inside..

4th the temperature, all i can say is know your oven…this cake need a moderate temperature which is not to hot nor to cold…too hot temperature will make your cake crack and burn on the top very quick, and when it too cold you will need an extra hour to bake the cake.Also after baking and turn off your oven please dont take your cake out right away…let it sit there for another half hour …drastic change of tempareture will make the top of your cake crack too..

Last but not least, how to know your cake is done? Well when the side of the cake is firm you know you are done..don’t worry if you see the middle is still jiggling when you gently shaking the baking pan because that how it supposed to be. The middle of the cake will be firm as it cool down.. And…the most important thing cake is more delicious after overnight…i know waiting mean suffering but it worthy to wait…rainbow after rain…something like that but i’m not good on this…

BUTTERMILK PRAWN

   

     Another simple recipe from me. It simple with few ingredient and its soo easy to make. You will get a restaurant style dishes in no time….I said it easy but don’t underestimate this recipe cos’ i failed a few times before i get it right  too…hehe.

      Once you get it right , you will amazed how simple it was…ok, now lets talk about the ingredient if you love hot spicy you can add a few bird chillies…restaurant always add this chillies even we not asking for  it but that how it supposed to be…i would says it taste even better with bird chilli..that cos’ i loved more spicy than you can imagine….

     Some oldie always said to use more butter to make your butterprawn more frangrant…to tell you the truth this is totally wrong…why i say so?? It because more butter will make your evaporated milk separate from your butter. It form a lump and it more likely a vomit…yeah,i know it sound disguisting but that the fact..keep in mind ,we do not need more butter on this recipe….

BUTTER PRAWN

1 kg Prawn
30 pcs of curry leave
Enough oil for frying
Bird chilli for garnishing

For marinate

1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp white papper powder
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp soda bicarbonate
1 whole egg
1 tbsp xiao xing wine

For coating

3 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp custard powder
3 tbsp corn strach
3 tbsp tapioca starch

For sauce

30 g butter
1 can evaporated milk
1 tsp salt ( add more to your preference)
Sugar to taste (more to your preference)

HOW TO:

1. Clean your prawn and marinade for an hour. Set aside. Since you have added soda please marinade not more than 2 hour.

2. In a large wok, heat your oil..make sure your oil is enough to cover your prawn. What i mean here is we will deep fry the prawn. Once your oil is hot coat your prawn with flour mixture and fry just for a few second. Take it out and fry the rest of your prawn. When i say a few second is around 20 second . Take it out and we will fry it for second time for a minute or until it golden brown. When done set aside.

3. Now is the most crucial step, with low heat melt your butter, and once it melted add your curry leave and fry until it fragrant. You can add your chopped bird chilli at this time or you can just sprinkle your chopped chilli when everything is done…its totally up to you. Once you smell a fragrant curry leave add your evaporated milk. Stir continuesly.

4. Add in your prawn into sauce. Stir a few minute until the sauce thicken by it self , it mean we do not need to use thickening ageant like corn starch here. Turn off heat. Ready to served.

BEIGNETS/CHURROS BALL

           Beignets or churros ball or fried pete a chaox or you name it… as i’m searching the recipe on the net i find  many diffrent name of this recipe and i all i see is just the same ingredient and method. If you know how to make cream puff then you have no problem to make this beignets.

     The common problem that most of us facing is undercook beignets. The outside turn out dark to quick and it still wet inside. Why is this happen?? It because your oil is too hot…you maybe have a question like ‘this recipe call for 150’c and this temperature is over boiling point supposed to be very hot’… the answer is yes the oil should reach 150 ‘c before you put your beignets BUT after it reach 150’c you should reduce the heat and do some test before you fried the rest of dough. What kind of test? Well, put a small amount of dough after you reduce the heat and if it turn dark to quick wait a few second before fry another dough…why should we wait ? To make sure the oil is cool a bit..why the oil should reach 150’c then reduce it? Why not just until the oil is hot a bit?..to be honest, i don’t have the answer for this…lol..

       It taking time to fry the beignets, after you put the dough inside the oil you should stir it slowly to even the colour or to make sure it didn’t turn to dark very quick..you may see it seems like didn’t expand to double in size at the begining but just keep stiring slowly…after a few minute you will see that it start to burst and create a seams or expand from it original size supposed to be double or tripple in size. Fried until the beignets is golden brown.

BEIGNETS / CHURROS BALL

Ingredient :

252 g water
150 g plain flour
100 g butter
3 g salt (only if you using unsalted butter)
4 g granulated white sugar
191 g egg (4 eggs = 55g each )
Enough castor sugar for coating

METHOD:

1. Put water, butter, salt and sugar to a boil. Make sure the butter is melted completely. Add in flour all at once and stir quickly until no lump or uncooked flour seen. You will know the dough is ready when a thin film appear on the bottom and the dough pull away from side. ( same like make cream puff). Let it cool to lukewarm before adding the eggs.

2. Add one egg at a time until it well combined and a peak pointing up form when you touch the dough with your finger. When done, put in refrigerator for one hour or atleast  30 minute …i refrigerated mine for 30 minute only cos’ i can’t wait that long to see the result….hehe…

3. After 30 minute , take the dough from refrigerator, heat oil until reach 150’c and reduce it (low heat) .Using ice cream scope, scope a little dough to make some test..if it turn dark to quick …wait a few second before adding the next dough. Keep stiring the biegnets until it burst and expand from it original size..you will see a seams after it start to expand..fried until it turn to brown colour…please note that to fry beignets it take time about 5-7 minute ( depend on your stove).

4. When done, drain your beignets and coat with sugar. Ready to served. ( best to served while it still hot ).

SOFT DOUGHNUT

 
          I know everybody loved doughnut and so do my family. It’s easy to find it everyway and the only matter is the price. Well,why wasting when you can make it at home with minimum expences? My husband always questioned me why should i trouble my self to make this and i answered him i don’t call this trouble but it’s a joy of cooking. I love to see the result…and its fun..haha..
        I’ve been searching the recipe online and i saw Wendyink recipe ..i was attempted to try. With a simple recipe and easy instruction i stop searching for other recipe. Her instruction is very easy to understand but it still a bit tricky for me…WHY???? Because i trying to be smart and put my self in trouble. She say 1 egg yolk but i put 1 whole egg, 20 g butter but i put 42 g butter…make my dough too sticky…see??? This explain why some people failed when they trying a new recipe.lol..

       When i saw my dough is too sticky and almost impossible to resque..i blame my self , i should follow her recipe as stated…but it already too late …i should find a solution or maybe just throw away the dough ?…i let it rest until double in size with hope it not stick to my hand but after that at the end it still the same. Since i am half way i decide to add 1/8 cup flour at a time and keep kneading until it not stick to my finger….finaly after adding my fifth 1/8 cup flour the dough not stick to my hand anymore and still soft..Emm finally…i roll the dough and cut it with my doughnut cutter. And let it rest for second time about 45 minute…yess !!! I saved the dough…

TANG YUAN

       There is nothing much i will write about tang yuan, i am sure that most of you know about tang yuan history or when it usually served. As i am looking the recipe on the net i’ve read a lot about it and it doesn’t necessary for me to re-write about it  cos’ it just the same.

       Tang yuan is mainly made from glutinous rice flour. Can be served with diffrent type of syrup/soup and filling. It can be heavy or light syrup/soup and i prefer mine with light syrup/soup. Since it extremely hot in my place i’ve choose sweet potato syrup/soup with barley. It really refreshing and light.

       Usually origanal tang yuan is white with no filling but since time goes by, it been modify and came out in diffrent colour and filling. To make a diffrent colour i use orange and purple sweet potato and also screwpine for green colour. I find that tang yuan with sweet potato is more soft ,easy to shape and hold in shape while tang yuan with screwpine is a bit chewy and best to shape it after the water is boiling. There is a thing that you must know about orange and purple potato, they have a diffrent capacity to absorb water. Purple sweet potato in other hand is more to sandy and dry type.

TANG YUAN

makes ( i forgot to count )

Ingredient :

Orange tang yuan

310 g orange sweet potato
80 g glutinous flour
20 g water

Purple tang yuan

280 g purple sweet potato
88 g glutinous flour
90 g water

Green tang yuan

136 g screwpine juice ( 8 pcs screwpine leave + enough water )
136 g glutinous flour
2 tsp coconut pandan emulco

For syrup/soup

900 g sweet potato
90 g barley
70 g granulated white sugar
130 g brown sugar (add more if you loved sweet)
80 g sago
7 pcs screwpine leaf ( knot )
3 L water

METHOD

1. Measure all ingredient as detailed above. Skinned sweet potato, measure and steam until very soft. Clean screwpine, cut and blend with water. Strain to get the juice. Set aside. In mean time cook your syrup/soup so that you can transfer your tang yuan immediately into it once cooked.

2. Transfer hot sweet potato into a bowl, mash until fine. Strain to remove any uncook potato and veins ( thin line on the potato ). Add in flour, and knead until form a ball. Add 1 tsp water at a time and keep kneading until you got a soft and easy to shape sweet potato ball. At the begining it may very sticky but just keep kneading. Add a little flour if it still stick to your hand after kneading a few minute. The dough should be very soft but not stick to your hand. Set aside.

3. Repeat the same process for purple sweet potato. It will be quite difficult with purple sweet potato since it more drier and sandy type than orange sweet potato but it will produce more attractive colour than other. Set aside.

4. For green colour, add pandan juice and coconut pandan emulco to  glutinous flour. Knead until became a smooth dough. If you find the dough is not soft enough add a little water at a time. Shape like a ball with your palm. You can shape it after your water is boiling so that you can put it into the water right after you shape it. This way you will get a pretty round ball.

5. Put your pandan tang yuan into  hot boiling water. When it float to the surface it mean your tang yuan is ready. Take it out and put into ice water. Let it sit until your syrup is ready or you can transfer directly into syrup once ready.

6. Do the same to potato tang yuan. It will float to surface and you will know it done.

TO MAKE SYRUP OR SOUP

1. Boil water, screwpine leaf and barley together. When you see the barley is expand than it original size, add in the rest ingredient except sago. Simmer until the potato is became soft. Add sago and turn to high heat for 5 minute and stir so that your sago not stick together. Transfer your tang yuan to the syrup/soup. Turn off fire and cover the pot with lid for another 10 minute before serving. This is to make sure the sago is fully cooked.

* best to served it immediately.
* The size of tang yuan is depend on your preference.

SOFT AND FLUFFY STEAMED BANANA CAKE

       This is my 3rd attempt to make steamed banana cake and i am very pleased and satisfy with the result. This cake is very soft , light with very smooth banana taste. The cake also remain soft and the taste is much better after overnight. No eggs smell or you can’t taste any egg at all just a smooth banana taste.

       Less banana mean you will get a pale and less black tread like structure on your cake which is make the cake not attractive at all. The right balance between banana and flour will produce a soft , light and fluffy banana cake. Also, on my 3rd attempt i use cake flour instead of plain flour. I find that with plain flour you will not get a light and soft texture as like you use cake flour. One more thing, you can bake this batter if you want to.

BANANA CAKE

Make one 9′ baking pan.

Ingredient :

250 g cake flour
410 g banana ( removed skin )
130 g castor sugar
5 egg white
6 egg yolk
18 g ovelete
50 ml evaporated milk
110 g corn oil
115 g melted butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp baking powder

METHOD :

1. Prepare and measure all the ingredient as detailed. Sift together flour , baking powder and soda. Set aside. Remove banana skin then measure. Mash banana using potato masher. Set aside. In another bowl mix all wet mixture together. Also, set aside. Pre heat your steamer , low heat.

2. In a large bowl, mix together castor sugar and ovelate until all sugar is coated with ovelate. Add in egg one at time and mix until the mixture is thicken, double in valume and pale in colour.

3. Add in sifted flour and wet mixture alternately. Mix until well combined. The mixture should not be to thick. Tap the mixture onto working top a few time then pour into greased baking pan from around 20 cm height.

4.  Steamed in low heat for about 45 to 1 hour. Mine only 45 minute. Do some test to make sure your cake is fully cooked. Insert a skewer and if it came out clean you are done. Open the lid and steam for another 5 minute. Turn off heat and wait for 5 to 10 minute before unmould. Cool on wire rack.

Tips#

1. Use low heat to steam your cake..we don’t want any mountain view on top of the cake.

2. Cover the steamer with clean kitchen towel before put the lid on. This is to avoid the water vapour from drop into cake surface.
