HUBBY'S BDAY

Today is my hubby's birthday. Made a simple Lemon Yoghurt cake for him. A recipe adapted from Kevin Chai's My Birthday Cake. We tried this cake before once, made by my sister,Reese for his hubby's birthday too :D It was really tasty & my hubby likes it! So i decided to make for him on his special day @->--


Here I followed all the ingredients & method :P

Sponge cake ingredients :

  • 180g sponge mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 45ml lemon juice
  • 45 melted butter

Yoghurt cream :

  • 175g fresh cream
  • 300g yoghurt
  • 30g lemon paste

Garnishing :

  • cocoa powder
  • chocolate rice
  • chocolate curls & thyme ( can't get it, so i avoided )
  1. Beat sponge mix, eggs & lemon juice with high speed until light & fluffy. Fold in melted butter until well blended.
  2. Spread batter into 7" prepared tin & bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven & cool completely. Split into 4 layers.
  3. To make yoghurt cream, whip whipping cream & lemon paste till peak. Stir in yoghurt & mix well.
  4. Spread yoghurt cream onto a slice of cake, sandwich with another sponge slice. Continue layering until finished. Pare the edge of cake to form a semi-circular shape. Spread remaining cream over the cake & use palatte knife to lift up cream to make peaks.
  5. Sides with chocolate rice & dust with cocoa powder. Decorate as desired :D

Happy Birthday My Dear Hubby ............
