Butter Cake

I had been kind of lazy to do baking lately, due to busy schedule and wanting to rest. Perhaps, I am getting older now, or maybe just feeling lazy.


I asked a ex-colleague of mine if she is working today, and wanting to give her a surprise. So the night before I actually prepared this butter cake for her. I had blown my mixer when I was trying to use it to beat my butter, in the end I have to use manual beat with a whisk to get the texture I want. It was pretty tough to do so, but it was fun though.

Happy Valentine's Day

Guess all lovely couples must be celebrating this special moments together now, I am still single. It's okay, maybe one day soon I will also have a partner. Let me dedicate Adele's "Don't you remember" to end the day, it's a sad song but for me it's full of happy memories and those sweet moments in it.

Testing. . .

I received a challenge from a friend who had baked a chocolate cake which is flour less, no butter and no eggs in it. Now I am preparing to take the battle and try it too. Stay tune!

Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts

Hello, I'm back. Today, I had made delicious Hong Kong style Egg Tarts, I once tried baking but however it didn't work out. This time round, I made it! And it was not that difficult than the one I used to try on. A Dim Sum (Chinese food) that cantonese will have during Yum Cha (tea time). However, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar level so that the filling do not taste too sweet and it is suitable for children and elderly.

Banana Loaf Cake

I had a make it a goal that I should be back practicing baking once a week, today I had decided to bake banana cake. This is one of the simplest cake that even a beginner baker can do. But don't forget you have to follow and have a accurate measurement of ingredients, otherwise your baking will not be good.

Cup to Gram Conversions

Hello everyone, have you come across finding it tedious and annoying to find out how much does 1 cup of butter weigh? Is there a weighing machine that can take measurement by cup? I realised, I ain't liking this kind of situation, so do you.

Let me share with you some of the conversion measured for each different ingredient for a basic start!

Butter

If you know a cup of butter weighs 8 ounces, you could do the math yourself: 

1 ounce = 28.34 grams, so one cup of butter weighs 227 grams.

1/4 cup of butter = 57 g

1/3 cup of butter = 76 g

1/2 cup of butter = 113 g
