工作忙碌,一下班就是回家照顾Lucius,要抽出时间写blog非得牺牲仅有少少的睡眠时间。最近这个月来Lucius又开始半夜起身喝奶,有时还达两次,睡觉的时间都是断断续续的,不敢奢望可以一觉到天亮。

说回这蛋糕,Nestum麦片,这可是我小学时每天上学前的必备饮料和早餐。后来改为喝牛奶,就没喝这个麦片,再后来的后来,就连牛奶也没喝了,忘了喝什么。

买回来的隔天就想用这麦片来烘蛋糕。上网搜寻Nestum蛋糕食谱,但其实我脑海里早有想做的蛋糕,就是Ju (The Little Teochew)的Moist Butter Cake。这蛋糕一直诱惑着我。后来我决定不找食谱了,就直接用Ju的牛油蛋糕食谱然后加入麦片算了。

我也在蛋糕上撒了一些麦片,蛋糕还温热时表面的麦片脆脆的好好吃,缺点就是因为加入了麦片蛋糕很flaky。
隔一两天后蛋糕出油了会更好吃,也不会那么flaky了。

Ingredients:
(A)
170g unsalted butter (soften)
175g sugar (reduced from 225g but I still find it a bit sweet, can be further reduced by 10-20g)
(B)
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
1½ vanilla extract
(C)
2 tbsp cognac (optional)(I do not have any opened bottle so I used Baileys Irish Cream, I know it is not a good substitute but I think no harm adding)
(D)
195 plain flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
(E)
180ml whole milk
(F)
30g (8 tbsp) Nestum cereal + more to sprinkle on top
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180C, grease and line a 8-ince cake pan.
2) Using a mixer on medium speed, cream (A) until fluffy for about 2 minutes.
3) Beat in (B) until well combined. Add (C).
4) Mix together (D). Sift in (D) in 3 parts, alternating with (E), beat at low speed stop once the flour mixture incorporated. Fold in (F).
5) Switch mixer to medium and beat for 10-15 seconds, just until the batter appears uniform.
6) Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth top with spatula or knife and sprinkle some Nestum cereal on top.
7) Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted and comes out clean.
8) Leave to cool in pan for at least 5 minutes before serving if you like it warm or unmold after 5 minutes and cool on wire rack.
Note:
Best served the next day or day after next.
Sigh, a lot of food stuff used to taste better long ago, same goes to Milo.
ReplyDeleteCut cost!! Cut Cost!!! Darn!!
I like the idea of using nestum here. I can't wait to see Nestum cookies, if you're making them :)
我上星期才做这个哦,香到.......!!!!
ReplyDeleteThink i saw this recipe from a recipe book from Popular, but can't remember whether if the ingredient is the same as i did not buy the book...
ReplyDelete我不爱喝麦片,但是我爱把它加入烘焙中,觉得味道好极了
ReplyDeleteI think nestum disappear from my diet and sight since a long ago as well.
ReplyDeleteGuess for me, with the introduction of 3-in-1 cereal drinks / other instant alternatives, I kinda forget the existence of this. Hmm...
给你讲到心痒痒的,我一定要做这个蛋糕.
ReplyDelete好好吃哦, 看到你的图片就让我想到麦片的香味了, 这个找时间要做了。
ReplyDeleteI love butter cake and is good idea to add nestum, yummy :)
ReplyDeletenestum is so yummy! i usually add it into my instant cereal drink but will try adding it in cakes next time :)
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I think not only Nestum, many things have changed taste probably the manufacturers switched to cheaper sources.
I wish I can make a batch of Nestum cookies soon. :)
鲸鱼蓝蓝蓝,
ReplyDelete我等你分享食谱。
neyeeloh,
ReplyDelete我们是同道中人,不过我也喜欢喝麦片。
hanushi,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. But I do think that old stuff got its own charm.
Min/Anncoo,
ReplyDelete期待看到你们的麦片蛋糕。:)
Jess,
ReplyDeleteThis butter cake recipe use lesser butter and eggs but more milk, it's soft and moist and not oily. You may want to give it a try since u are butter cake lover.
grub,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. If I am not wrong this is your first time leaving a comment. Welcome to my blog.
It's a good idea to add Nestum to the instant 3-in-1 cereal drink. I always find the 3-in-1 type too diluted.
hi,
ReplyDeletewish to ask whether can i bake it into muffins?
thanks
elaine
Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteYes u can use muffin tray to bake but do adjust the baking time accordingly. It takes much lesser time to get cooked for small muffin size. may be 20 or 25 minutes?
