Fluffy Orange Chiffon

Hi lovelies I'm back with another recipe.

This time, we gonna have Fluffy Orange Chiffon cake! Chiffon are my favorite among other cakes cause it's so soft and light. I can even finish a whole chiffon cake by myself. 

Let's start :) 

• 3 eggs + 10g of egg white (room temperature)
• 110g cake flour 
• 125g caster sugar
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 60ml corn oil or any type of vege oil
• 90ml orange juice

{Print Recipe}

Oven : 170*C

1. Mix flour, 100g sugar and orange zest. 
2. Make a hole in center of the dry mixture and add in egg yolks, oil and orange juice. Beat the mixture till smooth, do not over beat the mixture cause there's egg yolks inside.
3. Beat the egg whites in another bowl until soft peak then gradually add in the remaining 25g of sugar and beat till stuff peak. 

This is how your egg whites should turn up. If you are not sure, turn the bowl upside down and if it doesn't drop means you got it right already! 

  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Start folding 1/2 of the egg whites 1st. Do not                 fold too many times, this will cause the batter to deflate. Just fold till the mixture is mix well.

  5. Pour the batter in a 8 inch hole pan or cupcake cups and bake about 40-50 mins or test with a cake                  tester.

  6. If you are baking in a hole pan, cool down your cake upside down with a wine bottle in the middle                       before removing from pan. 

*TIPS : Before beating the egg whites, make sure there's no egg yolk in it even a single drip. 

          It's important to beat your egg whites till stiff peak to have a fluffy chiffon cake.*

That's it for today! :) 

Happy baking peoples!

This Christmas, I won't have any celebration like my previous years. So I choose to do some confession instead, just pretending I'm in a church talking to a priest. 

Here's my confession.

I been transfer schools to schools, meeting new friends at different schools. 

Once I m transferred to a new school, I neglected my friends in my old school. 

I didn't really want to stop hanging out with them.

Friends who used to be close with me, I'm really sorry. 

I'm born with a best friend. 

We always been together, even we are at different classes or schools.

I always been feeling bad for leaving her alone in that secondary school. 

I been transfer to another school by my dad. 

So my meeting new friends routine starts again, 

This is where I do not have time to spend with her.

Friends, curriculum, extra classes and her. 

We start having friends of our own,

she tried inviting me to join her new friends but at that time,

 I was all nerdy and I didn't felt I could blend in so I avoid. 

Till this moment, I'm still avoiding her sometimes,

Perhaps I'm afraid to face her because I felt sorry.

I really hope we could hang out together like before.

Somehow, I felt I been blessed to have her for my entire childhood.

Chocolate Yogurt Mousse with NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt

Firstly I would like to thank Nuffnang for giving me this opportunity to blog a sponsored post. I have never got a sponsored post offer before. This is my very very first :') , can't express how happy I'm to receive this email.

I'm so lucky that my mixer had arrive. Just in time for DESSERTS! You can never guess how much this mixer costs, it's super cheap.

As you can it's like a copy of a KitchenAid mixer. Just that it's much lighter and mini-ier than KitchenAid.

Today it would be my very 1st time posting a recipe on blog. I never ever blog about my recipes before, cause I saving all up for my future cake shop or maybe a homefeel cafe. I hope people would use my recipe and enjoy it, it would make me really really happy.





  

May I present you, the secret behind this recipe, NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt! It's healthier than any other yogurt because it's much more low in fat and sugar free.

Yogurt Chocolate Mousse

A

• Whipping cream    250ml
• Dark chocolate    350g

B

• NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt    250g

C

• Gelatine    5g
• Water    15ml

1. Boil A ( whipping cream ) under low fire then pour over the dark chocolate. Use a spatula to even the cream on the bowl, this will melt the dark chocolate faster.

2. Sieve NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt with a cheesecloth or coffee filter. Then whip NESTLE Yogurt till fluffy. Fold in the yogurt into the chocolate mixture until even.

3. Put C ( gelatine & water ) into the microwave for 1 minute / till the gelatine melts.

4. Whisk in the gelatine mixture into 1/4 of the yogurt chocolate batter. When the gelatine is whisk evenly, combine the rest of the yogurt chocolate batter.

5. Pipe the batter into small cups, you could get them from the bakery supplier shops. Then chill it in the fridge for about 3 hours before serving.

*When whisking the gelatine mixture into the batter , make sure you do it fast or else the gelatine would coagulate*

For better presentation, you can decorate it with some berries or maybe you would try something different like mine. I decorated it with sweet basil leaf. Maybe the next time I would add chopped sweet basil in this recipe and see how it tastes.

LDR

Distances became our friend since early of March. He got the chance to work for a better future and I got a "thing" that I felt I was destined to do so I just went for it. I was upset for the 1st few months and wasn't really assure how is this going to work. Cause I'm the type of girl who loves to stick around my boyfriend.

Both parties got to work especially him, in the hospitality industry. He could not hold his phone all the time. So there is like a schedule thing between us, at what time we are free to talk and video call. Even bedtime also got to be in schedule but mostly I don really obey :P after wishing him goodnight and all, I went on with Hayday or PlantVsZombies II . 

Some people said LDR is not good, it's sad and depressing. Somehow I find it's actually good rather than always looking at each other everyday, thinking of something to say to each other. We get to communicate more with texts and understand each other. In LDR, there must be trust and faith between each other, or else it would be a dooms day. Every minute texts will come through your phone asking what are you up to or calling you when you didn't reply. Which is quite frustrating for some people but others might felt their partner is so caring. 

Different people have different point of view. Lesson learnt, people might say somethings it's not good but you got to try it and find out by yourself. BUT it also depends on what kay... 

Learnt to appreciate and love someone that did so much for you!! 

THE END~~
