Assalamualaikum dan hai all,

Alhamdulillah praises to Allah that today with this given opportunity to blog about this classic tiramisu recipe. My husband loves it so much as it contains strong coffee flavor!

Once awhile, I will try using ingredients like whipping cream and cream cheese. Most of the time, just only butter will do. Hence, in a certain area like mine, the cost of the ingredients are so much to bare. Very costly.  Just like cheese and whipping cream, total both of it for 500g and 1 litre are about RM35 with sale item on cheese. If not it is nearly RM40, just two thing only! *die*

The baking project is still going on as long as the remaining ingredients from Kek Lapis Legit thingy {recipe here}, like egg whites. Already made a pavlova on my birthday but will not showing here as it looks so bad. but the taste is just fine with other pavlovas.

I knew it will happen when the remaining stuff it still there. I have to start quickly if before the big boss finds out is there any loitering. Please do okay, such a waste of money. Just make an effort to make everyone is happy!

So, last week I made a classic tiramisu cake. After did some study thru google and tips among baker's blog. Just found a recipe from Shiran the owner of Pretty.Simple.Sweet Its a very simple recipe to follow.

She is very good in explaining for making the classic tiramisu, which is so easy peasy to follow it. Then the successful of tiramisu will be your side! You will love it!

Overview from making this recipe:

1. I am using a coffee from Nescafe Gold, but best you use the brewed coffee or espresso as just a           dark thick coffee is great. No, I just make a coffee in a glass with sugar only.
2. Make a sabayon or the egg custards with a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Just to switch the alcohol in     this making process.
3. My mistake was dipping the ladyfinger's biscuit or savoiardi too long on each side. I think it best to    dip on one side only then just layer it down.
4. On my third tray to layer down this tiramisu, when the coffee not so full of a cup and the custard         cream cheese also not so much. The end product that we just ate yesterday was so good. Maybe           you should pour the cream cheese custard just nice but not too generous when layering. It's a tip of     a perfect taste of mine.

Kek Lapis Legit

Assalamualaikum dan hai,

Alhamdulillah, sehari lagi kita hidup di muka bumi ini. Hari ini juga telah berlaku fenomena Gerhana matahari. Rabu, 9 March dalam pukul 7.26 hingga 9.05 pagi. Subhanallah. Satu kejadian yang kita bukan saja-saja boleh buat, nak petik jari jadi gerhana pun jauh sekali, Allahuakbar. Salah satu petanda kekuasaan Allah Taala yang bila-bila masa saja Dia kehendaki.

Waktu ini kita disunatkan melakukan solat sunat 2 rakaat gerhana matahari di mana setiap rakaatnya mempunya dua kali rukuk. Sumber atau panduan Solat sunat gerhana sudah share di Facebook. Alhamdulillah, dapat lihat cara nak melakukannya pagi ni.

Antara petikan sahabat saya di Facebook dari Kak Nunun;

"Antara kebesaran yang Allah swt nak tunjukkan pada kita hari ini, Gerhana Matahari Separa. Setelah peristiwa beberapa ayat Al-Quran yang hilang "ditarik balik' oleh Allah swt beberapa hari yang lepas, inilah masanya untuk kita membesarkanNya semula dengan mengerjakan Solat Sunat Gerhana tanda keinsafan kita sebagai hambaNya.

Pagi ini, saya cari dan baca semula ayat-ayat yang 'ghaib' di Parit Buntar beberapa hari yang lepas, benar ayat-ayat tersebut mempunyai kaitan antara satu sama lain.

Menceritakan tentang bagaimana kaum-kaum terdahulu yang berpaling daripada Rasul yang diutuskan menerima azab yang sangat pedih, hingga Allah tinggalkan kesannya supaya dapat dilihat hingga hari ini untuk umat sekarang mengambil pelajaran ( Al-Qamar , 54 : 7-49 ) dan (Al-Zariyat , 51: 7-51 )"

Alkisah beberapa minggu yang lalu, rasa kecur air liur bila dok terbayang bau-bauan rempah ratus yang dibuat untuk masak kek lapis tradisional. Orang panggil rempah kek lapis, kalau di Indo, dipanggil spekkeok. hihi.

Di Labuan ni memang tak ada atau saya pun tak perasan sama ada kewujudan rempah kek lapis ini ada dijual di kedai bakeri. Jadi, saya cuba resepi home made rempah spekkeok oleh Ibu Hesti {Home-made Bumbu Spekuk}. Rata-rata hasilan pakcik Google tu resepi bahan asas adalah sama. Kayu Manis, Buah Pelaga, Bunga cengkih dan buah pala.

hihi.. kalau rajin saya share entry seterusnya. Sekarang kita share resepi lapis legit ni.

Resepi Lapis Legit
Masa : 4 Jam
Resepi asal : Google ( boleh refer Blogger Mat Gebu, Citarasawan, Bisousatoi)


Bahan 

(A)

300g      Butter ( guna unsalted Anchor butter)
200g      Margarine
340g      Gula
5 Tbs     Susu pekat manis
1 Tsp     esen vanila


(B)

30 biji kuning telur


(C)

1 Tbs Rempah kek Lapis ( bumbu spekuk)
100g Tepung gandum

Cara-cara:

1. Panaskan oven pada suhu 160°C. Guna function grill pada oven atau api atas sahaja. Loyang bulat atau empat segi sama 8" x 8" x 3" yang telah dilenser butter dan di alas kertas baking.
2. Potong butter dan margerin dalam cubic.** (sudah disejukkan terlebih dahulu).
3. Putar guna stand mixer atau hand mixer, butter dan mentega, gula dan vanilla pada kelajuan sederhana tinggi hingga kembang yang berubah menjadi warna kuning pucat. Kemudian tambahkan susu pekat.
4. Masukkan Bahan (B) kuning telur di kelajuan rendah. Kemudian lajukan putaran mixer selama 8-10 min. ** Jangan terlebih lama putaran.
5. Masukkan Bahan (C) yang telah diayak bersama. Putar hingga adunan sebati di kelajuan sederhana.
6. Macam Dalam gambar tu, lapisan demi lapisan saya guna 1 senduk nasi untuk selapis, bakar dalam 6-7 minit setiap selapis. Kemudian tekan-tekan bagi padat. saya guna cake cutter yang macam tiangle tu. hihi.


****

• Kalau tak ada loyang tinggi 3 Inci tu boleh guna dua loyang sekali bakar, kira masa dok buat selapis tunggu nak bakar, boleh ready loyang lg satu. Jadi dua loyang rotate bakar macam tu.
• Kek lapis saya tinggi sebab saya potong jadi dua bahagian dan tenggekkan saja. Letak pemberat dan sejukkan, melekat sebab kek sangat moist.
• Jika suka rasa rempah kuat atau slightly strong boleh tambahkan lagi rempah spekuk tu. Mungkin rempah yang saya buat tu sendiri tak rasa kuat. hihi.
• owh ye, lupa nak bagitau, resepi otai guna creamy butter macam SCS, Gonden Churn, atau Orchid butter, wjsman butter (biasa jual di Indo saja). Saya guna apa yang ada dalam peti. hihi

Okla, tu je, selamat mencuba resepi makan tahun!
