ndonesian Sponge cake with Cheddar cheese

Its probably one of those thing that is an aquired taste. some swear by it,.. others kinda hmm.

The sponge cake is normally iced with combination of cream cheese, normal cream and icing sugar top with shredded cheddar cheese.

I have made it without icing as to cut down on calories intake, but according to my faithful food taster, its not the real thing. The cake definitely need to be done with complete icing and cheese...ooppsss.

I forgot which food blog I got the recipe from, but more or less its the following ingredient.

10 yolk, 3 egg white
100g sugar
cake flour 120g, corn flour 15 g, milk powder 15 g
25 ml milk
50 g butter
1 table spoon of shredded cheese- melt these 3 ingredient under low heat, then keep warm -
bake 170c for 30 min in 9 inch round tin

Genoise Sponge Cake


Hooray.. success story on first goes, which is a bit unusual. So used to fail attempt, the result of the cake comes as a surprise. Though the deco could do with improvement.

I have watch you tube on how to cover cake with icing and it look deadly easy. But guess what?

try to roll the icing on board, it stick like super glue. tried to roll it on baking paper, it sticks as well..

If you really wanted to learn how to become a patient person, try icing a piece of cake.

My god there are temptation to just be aggresive and destroy the whole thing.

anyway,.. the end result is this. a very nice cake, though had to throw away most of the icing, as they are use for deco purposes, even though they are good to eat as no chemical was used, but its so sweet...

Not according to husband, which I have to use watchful eye and stopped him from eating this sweet coating..though I believed he managed to sneak a few in between time when i blink.

Chinese Vegetable- Tong Ho

I was trying to set up Compos heaps and part of the stuff that goes in was the left over bits from Tang Ho vegetables.

Some weeks later I noticed the stems are actually looking really fresh. Upon pulling it out from the ground, there were a lot of roots growing out of it. So I decided to plant them in the pot and guess what, this beautiful flowers are the result.

They look like daisy... its so nice. the other plant with a slightly different shape leaves have white and yellow petals. Even if you dont like Tang Ho, it still made an attractive plant.

So,.. now what is the recipe to cook this delicious vegetables,.. from stirfry to soup?
