Grilled Brinjal-Tomato Bruschetta

 One long French Loaf usually isn't enough for four of us if I make this for breakfast.... My two boys just love it very much. The brinjal and tomato are flavored with garlic, olive oil and balsamic sauce and then sprinkled with chopped fresh basil leaves.... very tasty and nice aroma. Apart from serving for breakfast, this certainly will be a big hit if served as starters during a party.

Merdeka Raya Cake

 In lieu of Malaysia Day 16th Sep, office decoration competition and Merdeka Raya celebration was held on last Friday in our office and four different corridors participated. The office was decorated with flags and raya ornaments. My team chosen "kampung" theme with office decorated with multi-racial kampung stuffs - woven plates, Hari Raya greeting cards, Malaysian flags, Batik & Pelikat sarungs, Malay kompang, Chinese cymbals, native instruments and many items made from recycled materials like tin lamps, chandelier,  canon, paper flowers, etcs. Traditional food and drink were served to judges with the above cake as the table centre piece denoting Malaysian flag!



The decoration idea for the cake was from Azlita blog but I used a combination of Red Velvet and White Butter Cake instead. I also attempted to resemble the 14 layers of Malaysian flag.... I was very nervous about slicing the cake very thinly in order to produce the right count of layers.... well slicing the cake into 7 layers is a very challenging job but am glad it worked out successfully without breaking any.


By: Roz@HomeKreation
1½ portion of Red Velvet Cake recipe from here
½ portion of White Butter Cake from here
1 kg Fresh Cream

METHOD:
1. Bake all the 1½ portion of Red Velvet cake batter in one 9" round tin.
This will take 1½ hour to completely cook the cake.
Cool the cake completely on wire rack.
Wrap with plastic cling and chill overnight in fridge - this is to avoid the cake to break or crumbly when sliced.
Slice into seven layers (roughly abt ¼" thick each layer).
Discard the most top part so that the cake is even layers & flat top.

2. For ½ portion of White Butter Cake, skip coconut milk replace with milk.
Colour the batter blue & bake in 8" round tin for 30 min.
Cool cake completely before cutting.
Cut cake using 6" round cutter.

3. To assemble the cake, sandwich layers of the red velvet cake with fresh cream.
Use big spatula to lift the cake since it is very thin layer & hence fragile.
Press the round cutter in the middle of top 3 layers & remove the inner cake with spoon.
Insert the blue cake in the middle.
(You can also cut the red cake with the 6" cutter before sandwiching but I was worried it will be too fragile to handle since the cake is very thin).
Cover the rest of the cake with fresh cream & decorate as you like.

Kek ni Along buat hari Jumaat lepas untuk pertandingan Merdeka Raya kat pejabat. Tak taulah menang ke tidak pertandingan menghias pejabat dan opis terbuka, esuk baru tau keputusan nya. Selain dari menghias pejabat dengan tema Merdeka Raya, bermacam2 aktiviti pada hari itu termasuklah sambutan tetamu dgn tarian joget, menghias pejabat dgn barang2 recycled, jamuan makanan & minuman tradisi seperti lemang, rendang, kuih cincin, karai, angku, kek lapis, biskut raya dll. Kek Merdeka yg Along buat ni kita buat sebagai centre piece.... Seronok betul pada hari tu, bergelak-ketawa sewaktu menyambut para juri.

Idea nak hias kek ni Along dapat dari blog Azlita tapi Along guna resepi kek yg berlainan. Terima-kasih ya Ita atas idea yg sangat kreatif ni. Ramai kwn2 kat opis yg terpesona dgn potongan kek dgn bendera biru di tengah2 nya.

oklah, meh lihat resepi & cara2 yg Along buat. Kalau nak tengok yg Ita buat, boleh lah klik kat atas tu ya.

By: AlongRoz@HomeKreation
1½ adunan Red Velvet Cake dari sini
½ adunan White Butter Cake dari sini
1 kg Fresh Cream

CARA2:
1. Bakar kesemua 1½ adunan Red Velvet cake dalam tin 9" bulat lebih kurang selama 1½ jam.
Sejukkan kek di atas dawai & balut dgn plastik lekap.
Sejukkan semalaman dlm peti-sejuk supaya kek tidak berderai apabila di potong nanti.
Potong kek kepada 7 lapisan (+/- ¼" tebal setiap satu)
Buang lapisan paling atas supaya kek sama rata tebal nya.

2. Untuk ½ adunan White Butter Cake, gantikan santan dgn susu & warnakan adunan dgn warna biru.
Bakar dlm tin 8" bulat selama 30 minit.
Sejukkan kek sebelum di potong.
Potong dgn acuan bualt 6"& buang selebihnya.

3. Lapiskan kek merah dgn fresh cream.
Hati2 sewaktu mengangkat lapisan2 kek merah sebab ia nya sangat nipis & mudah patah - Along guna sudip yg besar utk mengangkat & melapis kek itu.
Letak pemotong bulat 6" di tengah2 kek & tekan sehingga 3 lapisan pertama.
Buangkan bahagian tengah kek dgn sudu.
Letakkan kek berwarna biru di tengah2nya.
(Along tak potong kek merah di tengah nya sebelum melapis dgn krim sbb takut patah. Sebalik nya Along melapis dahulu baru di potong tengah nya).
Tutupi keseluruhan kek dgn fresh krim & hiasi mengikuti kreativiti masing2.

 Ini gambar lebihan2 kek selepas di potong.... saja jer Along nak tunjuk. Nanti ada pula yang kata Along tayang kek beli & tak percaya Along buat sendiri kek ni. Baru2 ni ada yg lepas cakap kat Along kat FB sewaktu Along tayang kek buah baru2 ni. Buat apa lah Along nak menipu sampai begitu sekali.... sedih sungguh rasa hati bila ada yg cakap tanpa usul selidik. Bagi yg sudah mengenali Along beberapa tahun ni tentu sudah melihat banyak hasil2 tangan Along kan. Along berblog ini pun adalah satu pengorbanan besar buat para pembaca semua. Walaupun masa amat terhad sebab Along bekerja & ada anak kecil yg perlu perhatian, Along masih luangkan masa untuk berkongsi dengan semua di cyber ni. Dari segi pendapatan, gaji Along lebih dari mencukupi untuk keperluan Along & keluarga - yg mengenali Along dari dekat tentu nya paham. Along tak perlukan pun duit iklan yg seciput ni - nak dapat RM100 setahun pun susah, tidaklah Along herankan duit tu pun. Di harap para pembaca dapat menghargai usaha titik-peluh Along berblog.... ianya semua ikhlas sumbangan dari Along. Hanya doa dan persahabatan yg Along hargai.... sekian celoteh panjang kali ini. Maaf ya, bukan niat nak kecikkan hati sesiapa tetapi Along harap dapat jelaskan kepada semua mengenai perasaan terkilan Along ni. Si polan tu dah pun minta maaf & Along maafkan.

Butterless Fruit Cake (Kek Buah Tanpa Butter)

 Yes.... it is true, no butter needed in the recipe but if I don't tell no one will feel the difference - the cake is moist and tasty as good as butter fruit cake - also it is not too sweet but just nice. What I like most about this cake is the preparation is so easy and sweatless - just mix all the ingredients and ready to be thrown into the oven! Just a perfect recipe when I needed to make large quantity for contribution to a friend's wedding reception.... whilst my hubby was away and need to cope with Liana who has not gotten over her grief.

Ayam Percik (Malay Traditional Creamy Grilled Chicken)

 This Malay traditional dish is definitely irresistible..... although the creamy gravy is thought as high cholesterol, I think it is worth it once in a while. To solve my guilt, I used cholesterol free coconut milk from a packet and it still turned out very good and delicious.

I have received some other request for recipes in English for earlier postings that I have not forgotten but just got to find myself some time to do so - please be patient and thanks for your understanding.
