First baking experience

In the past few days, my whole day was not in the best way that it could be....
I was sick.... and i am still sick now...... even though it's much better now....

So today, i decided to spend my day in a little bit more meaningful way....
I decided to bake a cake..... even though i plan to do so yesterday but didn't manage to do so due to laziness.....
So, since it's my first time to bake a cake.....
i decided to start off with something easier for me.... as a rookie....
It's a Coconut Steam Cake...... (椰香蒸蛋糕)
It's quite a delicious cake..... at least when my mum bake it.....
So, when it's my turn do bake it..... Not sure will it still be as delicious as what my mum did....
So, let's check it out~~~

OK.... first, i went out to buy coconut milk that is the most important thing in baking this cake....
So, i bought one coconut milk and place it in the pot and boil it.....until it slightly thicken up.....

From this to -------------------------------> This....

Ok, the next thing is prepare the egg and sugar and flour....
I need 6 eggs and 250g of sugar and 200g of flour....


After that, we will need to beat the eggs and the sugar until it raise......

From this, beat until ----------------> this....

Next, we will need to add in the flour spoon by spoon.....
Don't ask me why, that's what my mum told me.....hahaha



And then, we will need to portion it into 3 portion....
And the first portion, i make it into coffee flavor by adding in concentrated coffee mix....
The second portion, i remain in the original color with vanilla flavor, (even though in the end, i can't even get a bit of vanilla fragrance....)
The third portion, i make it into pandan flavor with apple green color..... (same as the vanilla....can't smell the fragrance as well) hahaha

Then, we will put the first portion into the steamer to steam for 10 minutes.....


And then, the second portion..... and the third......


And, YEAH!!! ITS DONE!!!


Ok.... I would not say it's a tremendous success....
But, at least it's not a failure..... hahaha....
The layer suppose to be taller each.... but i used the wrong container to steam which is bigger in size.... So, it turns out to be bigger but shorter..... and the green color is a bit too much..... and the layers suppose to be more balance.....
And the cake is a bit dry.... other than that.... my mum say is perfectly ok...... hehehe

Oh ya.... you must be asking me, what's the black black tiny thing in the cake....
ok.... it's the "fillings"....
Well.... you can choose not to put any.... but i decided to make it more special....
So, i put nuts (almond, walnut and pine seeds) in the lower most coffee flavored layer,
and prunes in the middle Vanilla flavored layer....
And, raisins and dried cranberries in the top most pandan flavored layer.....
It's LOVELY....isn't it? LOL

Looking forward to bake the next cake..... perhaps tomorrow? =)
