Baby O birthday cake + Pomelo salad

在过几天就是Baby O的牛一。在这花花世界度过了三年,打从瓜瓜落地到现在的会跑会跳,还会说许多童言童语,搞些啼笑皆非的‘小’动作,真是又爱又恨!!去年我特地弄了一桌杯子蛋糕为他庆生,今年就来个巧克力湿润蛋糕(chocolate moist cake)搞搞新意思。

以前长作这类蛋糕,都是买现成包装好的蛋糕粉,只需加入蛋,油,炼奶,热水搅拌成糊就可入烘炉。可是单单买蛋糕粉就要RM7-8一盒,觉得有点贵;所以上网去找些适用的食谱。

依照食谱上的材料份量来看,蛋糕应该是中小,可是倒进家里最小的烤模才刚满1/3;出来的成品又矮又扁。惨了!心里已经凉了一半。。。把菜刀磨利,好不容易把蛋糕横切一半,涂上已稍冷的巧克力酱,再铺上另一半蛋糕,把整个蛋糕抹上剩余的巧克力酱,心想应该ok吧?

把蛋糕冰一会,同时打发whipping cream(奶油)至稠。当奶油倒在蛋糕上,就像融化的冰淇淋一样,顺着地心吸力往下滑,糟了!!应该是巧克力酱的表面滑,所以奶油没有‘立足之地’,很应景的似火山焰往下冲!!结果,一塌糊涂,面目全非,失败之作。。当拿去我娘家和Baby O一起切蛋糕时,全部大小眼问:“什么来的哦?ice-cream cake 啊?”讲真的啦,那奶油吃起来真的很像冰淇淋的口感,意外惊喜。还好Baby O也吃的不亦乐乎,少许欣慰啦!下次妈咪会加油的!!

lastly, topping with the whipping cream. Haha, the final output, doesn't look good at all....

除了失败的蛋糕,我也拿家里多得是的中秋柚子来作泰式沙拉来解腻。把柚子果肉取出弄散些,在加上烫熟的虾子,切丁的红萝卜,青瓜,洋葱,辣椒,在用鱼露,糖,醋拌匀既可。对我来说味道不错,可惜家人却觉得加柚子有点怪怪的,哈,各有所好!!
