How to Make Green Noodles By Machine

ONDEH-ONDEH SPONGE CAKE

Not long ago,people went crazy over making ondeh ondeh cake.I guess I'm late,but still never too late.A cake that has the ingredients using palm sugar(gula melaka),pandan juice and coconut flakes.The cake was called like that simply because it is similar to the local kueh ondeh ondeh which uses this few ingredients except in cake you have eggs added.
Recipe for sponge cake was adapted from Zan's Treat from youtube channel and recipe for the swiss meringue was adapted from Bake With Paws.

Method for assembling my cakes was simple.Each layer was topped with gula melaka and dessicated coconut and cream.

I can't seem to find any written recipe from Zan's Treats.I was having a hard time copying the ingredients from her youtube video,pausing every moment to try to get her recipe and having to repeat the video to double check that I was copying correctly.

Zan's Treats recipe:

Ingredients:

(mix together)
3 egg yolk
42ml water

35g canola oil
15g corn flour
55g self-raising flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pandan paste

Method:

Preheat oven to 160°C.

In a bowl,mix together the egg yolk and water.Add canola oil in.Stir to combine.

Add in corn flour bit by bit.Stir,combine.

Add in self-raising flour.Make sure there are no lumps.

Add in the salt and pandan paste.Mix thoroughly until you have 
a flowing batter consistency.Put the batter aside.

In another clean bowl,beat the egg whites.
Beat at low speed first,then increase the speed to medium.Add in the cream of tartar when bubble start to come out.Beat again,then add in the sugar slowly.Beat till stiff peak.

Mix the egg whites with the yolk mixture with a spatula.Mix well.

Pour the batter into 2 baking tray.Use 6"x6" tray.

Bake for 20-25 mins depending on your oven temperature.

When it is baked,take out from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

To make the meringue buttercream:

Ingredients:

5 large egg whites
133g caster sugar
250g butter,room temperature
1/4 tsp salt
4-5 tbsps pandan juice,very thick and concentrated juice

Method:

Cut butter into cubes.Set aside to room temperature.

Combine egg white and sugar in a heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water.Make sure the base of the bowl is not touching the water.Whisk with hand whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Transfer the egg white mixture to a mixing bowl.Beat at high speed
until stiff peak.Let it cool to room temperature before adding the butter.This will prevent the butter from melting.To speed up the process,you may leave the meringue in the refrigerator.

At low speed,add in the butter cube gradually,then turn to high speed.Beat until the mixture comes together.Scrap the bowl if necessary.Keep on beating until it turn into a smooth buttercream.

Once the buttercream becomes smooth,add in salt until well-incoporated.Do not add in pandan juice all at once.Start with 2 tbsps,then slowly add.Turn down speed and add pandan juice one tbsp at a time.Scrap the bowl with spatula and beat until well-combined.Use 41/2 tbsps.Not require to use all pandan juice.

To make the gula melaka syrup:

35 gula melaka
120ml water
knotted pandan leaf

In a pan,boil the gula melaka with the water and add in the knotted pandan leaf.Stir to syrup and let it to cool.

To assemble the cake:

Cut each piece of the cake into half.

Put the cream into a piping bag.Pump the first layer with the cream.then the gula melaka syrup,then some coconut flakes.Place the second layer onto the top of the first layer.Then the cream, gula melaka and coconut flakes.Repeat for the last 2 layers.All four layers.Deorate the top with some gula melaka and coconut flakes and pump some flowers or whatever you wish to.

Jam Swirl Bread With Oats

Yesterday I was trying to make soft bread again by using the same recipe of chocolate swirl bread,recipe of Goh Ngai Leng : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERcdHj_QxlI
but I ended up what I called "Jam Swirl Bread" instead of "Chocolate Swirl Bread",and I
sprinkle some oats on the top of the bread.I had a nice bread this morning and everyone love it.

Why jam and not chocolate?Because I was too lazy to split up 2/3 to make the chocolate dough,so I think of a simple method.
I will just use the jam to spread on the dough without having to cut out 2/3 to knead with chocolate powder which is very yakki to my hands.No hand gloves at home.
Sprinkling some oats on the top of the bread adds up to a nice sweet bread in the morning with a cup of warm milk.

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

150g fresh milk

20g condensed milk

20g unsalted butter(salted can do as well)

25g beaten egg

30g sugar

1/4 tsp salt

225g bread flour

25g cake flour

3/4 tsp instant dry yeast

Method:

Method:

Keep warm 150g fresh milk,20g condensed milk and 20g unsalted butter in the rice cooker for 10 mins.I warm my one in the oven.

Pour butter and milk mixture into the bread pan.Add 25g beaten egg.Add 30g sugar and 1/4 tsp salt.Add 225g bread flour and 25g cake flour.

Dig a small hole,pour in 3/4 tsp instant yeast.

Select dough program and press start.Rest the dough for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle some flour on the table.Flaten the dough and roll it long.Spread some jam on it.

Roll up like you roll a swiss roll cake.Make sure the dough is the length of the bread maker.

Put the dough back into the bread pan.Cover.Let the dough rest for 40 minutes until it has double in size.Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle some oats on it.

Press bake function and bake for 35 minutes.
