1. Mix syrup, peanut oil, alkaline & flour together- combine well. Cover and let it rest for 4-6 hrs or overnight.
2. Sift flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the syrup mixture. Use a rubber spatula to mix and form to a soft dough.
3. Measure dough to 50g each & wrap with 150g lotus paste. Press into a floured mooncake mould. Knock & dislodge imprrinted mooncake. Place on tray & bake ina preheated oven at 160c for 10 minutes. Remove & cool. Egg wash mooncake & bake for another 15 minutes till golden.

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 ............
