Recipe: Strawberry cheesecake cupcake
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Sudden feel to bake so I suddenly thought of the cupcakes my puinko baked for me last year and it was mega yummy!!! So I asked her for the recipe and she said it was the one on Kaykay's blog but she didn't convert the recipe to grams so I converted for you guys if you are interested to make them!
Here are my cupcakes!
The original recipe is here so if you need the picture guide just click the link!
For the crust:
15 pieces of digestives
125g of butter
For the cupcake batter:
4 egg whites and 2 tablespoon of sugar
1 tsp baking powder (I skipped this and my cupcakes still poofed up really well)
170g of butter
190g of all purpose flour
1 cup of plain yoghurt (Those regular cups they are selling at supermarkets will do)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200g of sugar (original was 220g, I reduced it)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Diced strawberries (put more if you like and vice versa)
For the cream cheese frosting:
180g of cream cheese
85g of butter
200g of icing sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
I warn you guys first ah, this recipe is pretty much tedious if you don't have a electric mixer and it's pretty time consuming too cox there's alot of steps to it.
so for the steps:
1. Crush all the digestives into crumbs and mix with butter. Press down with fingers in cupcake liner and bake for 5 minutes at 170 degrees C.
2. Beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff USING AN ELECTRIC MIXER. (I geh kiang don't want to use ended up beat for 15 minutes still not stiff kns) Careful not to overbeat if not your cupcakes will flop!
3. Mix flour, salt and baking powder. (Sift the flour and baking powder!!)
4. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla and beat with a hand mixer. Then add half the flour mixture until incorporated then mix in the yoghurt. Add remaining flour and mix everything. (I kind of messed up this step just by adding in everything at once, it turns out fine though lol)
5. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg into the batter until combined, repeat until everything is mixed well.
6. Scoop batter into cupcake liners and bake for 25 minutes in the oven at 170 degree celcius.
7. For the frosting, just mix everything together that's all!!
8. Decorate the cupcake in any way you like!
Freshly out of oven without any frosting!
All ready with cream cheese frosting!!
REALLY NO JOKE EH IT'S MEGA YUMMY.
Bake for your crush and he confirm will fall in love with you HAHAHA OKAY JOKING.
Just go try this recipe lah k, no regrets one.
Strictly Pancakes // Japanese are amazing
Saturday, March 8, 2014
Met up with my cousins and we were supposed to watch Vampire Academy before that but everyone EXCEPT for me was late and we didn't manage to catch the last show :( So we headed down to Strictly Pancakes cox everyone is eating it so I went to try for myself for the first time and I need to say it was wayyyyyyyyyyy too overrated lah!
Garlic Butter Prawns ($14.00)
Tiramisu pancakes. ($12.00)
LOOKS GOOD BUT.
Tbh honest the pancakes wasn't THAT nice as I expected. I would rather pay $6 to eat Mcdonald's pancakes then to eat at Strictly's. And since I'm working at a pancake shop I would definitely say that my workplace's pancakes are much nicer. Not being bias or anything ah. Like every single time when I serve the pancakes to the customers I would feel like eating their food cox the pancake smells like heaven I swear. Strictly's one... I don't smell anything :x
Jasmine (my cousin) jokingly said that the potato wedges might be the yummiest thing and I was like how possible is that, ended up really is lolol.
Portion wise it's worth the money la but taste wise I would say no. But hey hey ambience wise and service wise I will rate it pretty good! Probably because there is service charge and GST ah lolol.
I have about a week more before I head off to Japan and I was looking at some websites and I literally died of cuteness please I swear. I always say that Japanese are the most amazing people and if you don't believe me just look at this:
JUST . LOOK . AT . THE . FREAKING . ICE CREAM
SO FUCKING CUTE I CANNOT.
It's selling in Baskin Robbins Japan for Easter (Although Easter is still far away hahaha) and I'm so going to get the chick one lah omg!! You would never get to see this kind of cute ice cream in Singapore one please, Singaporeans where got the patience to do such thing ?!
Not only the ice cream ah, all the packaging design also mega cute one.
ARE YOU MELTING ALREADY?!
Okay lah I shall stop spazzing but I'm really very excited cox it's the sakura period when I go there so I get to taste everything Sakura hoho. And I think I'm probably gain alot of weight looking at all these food lol.
Cheery Churros! (With recipe)
Thursday, March 6, 2014
FINALLY A PROPER POST!
It has been long since I share a recipe with you guys so I decided to do a very simple BUT super duper yummy recipe post hehehe. From the title you all know it's churros la and I'm pretty sure some of you guys don't even know what's churros right ?! Cox actually I didn't know until I got them from USS lol and it's mega yummy lah! It's like a must buy everytime I go to USS but it's so expensive lor, $4.50 for one stick, when are you need is like 3 cheapo ingredients lol.
So if you don't know what is churros, here is it:
It taste just like donuts actually!
It's just deep fried dough covered with cinammon sugar/chocolate dip or whatever you like.
This will be the end product if you were to follow this recipe:
Usually if you get churros outside it comes in a longer stick but for mine I just make it around the size of my fingers so it's easier to bite.
RECIPE:
(Adapted from http://chocolateoblivion.blogspot.sg/2012/02/churros-bianca.html )
For the dough:
500ml water
255g plain flour
1 tsp salt (you can change it to sugar if you want it to be sweet)
For the topping:
1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon of sugar
Melted chocolate
Instructions:
1. Add salt to water and bring it to boil.
2. Add in the flour and mix well.
3. Let the dough cool down for 15 minutes.
4. Pipe out the dough using a cookie nozzle. (HARDEST PART BECAUSE THE DOUGH IS SO DAMN STICKY)
5. Deep fry the churros until it turned golden brown.
AND TADA THIS IS WHAT YOU GET:
Apparently there are two kind of churros - Spanish and Mexican but I tried out the spanish one cox it's the easiest to make LOL. Talking about lazy :x BUT WHATEVER LAH !!!! They still taste good :B
For the toppings, mix the cinnamon powder and sugar together to make cinnamon sugar. You can adjust according to your liking! For example if you like it sweeter you can just add in more sugar.
I also tried coating my churros with chocolate and top it off with some rainbow sprinkles and they look extra pretty!!!!
Aren't they pretty ?! *_____*
Don't you feel that rainbow sprinkles always makes food happier?! hahaha.
Personally I love both of the toppings but I guess most people will like the chocolate one more because it's sweeter!
One thing about churros is that THEY ARE VERY ADDICTIVE so...
See you guys in the next post! x
