Butter Sponge Cake🍽

libarah

Hi everyone!!!

Today let us know how to make a super soft sponge cake/butter sponge cake recipe by cooked dough method!!!

Ingredients:

Many of my friends do not have measuring cups at their home. so they requested me to measure the quantity of the flour and sugar by the tablespoon.

So here I am given the measurement in a tablespoon.

For Egg Yolks:

Egg yolks- 4 nos

Butter – 5 tablespoon

Milk – 8 tablespoon

Sugar – 4 tablespoon

Cake flour – 12 tablespoon

For Egg Whites:

Egg whites – 4 nos

Cream of tartar – 1/2 teaspoon

Sugar – 8 tablespoons

Method:

Separate egg yolks and whites in a bowl. Heat the milk and butter over low heat.

Once the butter is melted in the milk, take it out from the stove and add sugar, egg yolks, and all-purpose flour give it a nice mix and keep it aside.

Add cream of tartar and sugar little by little into the egg whites and beat until stiff peak formed

Now fold the white batter into the yolk batter. Don’t over mix just give them a nice fold.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan.bang it to remove any air bubbles and smooth it out evenly to the edges

pour enough hot water in a larger pan and place the cake pan over it.no need to preheat the oven.bake for 45 minutes at 150-degree Celsius.

Prepare the whipped cream. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric or stand mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until the cream starts to thicken. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread it on the top of the cake.

Turn the heat under the double boiler on to low. As soon as the chocolate chips begin to melt immediately, Stir constantly until the chocolate chips are almost completely melted, then remove them from the heat and decorate it.

    Egg rice with chicken stock🍽

    libarah

    Hi everyone!!!

    Rice is a yummy gluten-free ingredient that tastes wonderful by itself, or it can be transformed into so many different dishes, from many different cultures. but, if you happen to love salty, bold, and vibrant flavors, I have a little secret to share with you.  Instead of adding other spices, try cooking egg rice with chicken stock.

    Ingredient:

    250g long grain rice
    3 tbsp vegetable oil
    2 chilly
    1 onion, finely chopped
    1 tomato,finely chopped
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    4 to 5 Curry leaves
    4 eggs, beaten
    1 piece Chicken stock
    Coriander leaves for garnishing.

    Method:

    1. Cook the rice and then drain, spread it out to steam-dry and set aside.

    1. Heat 2 to 3 tbsp of the oil in a large wok,over a high heat,then add the chillies,onion and fry until lightly browned.add curry leaves turmeric powder and tomatoes and cook around 5 min
    2. Now add chicken stock and crack an egg onto the pan, and wait for it to cook just a little bit.
    3. just kind of scramble them and make sure there are little bits of egg.
    4. when the egg is cooked, move it into a bowl. add rice to the bowl and sort of mix it just so that the egg and rice are no longer separated.
