bakes & cakes 11


I made this 'key lime' pie sometimes last year using our normal limau nipis. Had a hard time trying to squeeze the juice and in the end only managed to get 80ml instead of 100ml. I also used condensed milk from Indonesia. The taste was awesome..it was something that I have never tasted before, tangy, sweet and creamy at the same time. Don't think that I'll be making any of these soon though, as I'm the only one that enjoyed it.
It would taste better if the dough was baked a little longer
Another keeper recipe from here . Kek kukus asam manis, Just using normal cake ingredients + haw flakes and steam it. I only made 2/3 of the recipe but still use 100g of haw flakes.
I made this twice and  the second time I brought it back to kampung. My mom and grandma loved it and mom requested this for raya.

Macarons with hazelnut filling. Looks hideous but taste yummy. It was probably because I did not mix it enough till it has a 'ribbon' effect.
Green tea cake...requested by Alia. Made cream cheese frosting to go with it. Alia & DH seems to like this cake.
