BUTTER MOON CAKE :)


CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL PAGE OF THE RECIPE :)

Cooking Time: 40
25cm (9-10 in) cake tin (ideally spring form)
225g (approx 2 and 1/4 cups) plain flour, sieved
250g (approx 2 and 1/2 cups) caster sugar
250g (approx 2 and 1/2 cups) unsalted butter
6 large egg yolks
A glaze of a teaspoon of egg yolk from your 6, and a tablespoon of water (or milk)

Preheat oven to 190C (375f).

If you have a mixer, add the sieved flour, sugar, butter and eggs and mix until combined.

If you have no mixer, you get to be messy! Make a mound of the sieved flour on a worktop, make a well in it and add the sugar, butter and eggs. Knead to mix.

Scoop this dough into the tin and smooth the top with a floured hand. Expect the dough to be very sticky. Brush the gateau with the glaze and mark a lattice design on top.

Bake for 15 mins, then turn the oven down to 180C (350f) and give it another 25 minutes or so until it's golden on top and firm to the touch. Let cool completely before unmoulding / turning out.

LEMONGRASS SPICED CHICKEN


I would have to try cooking the Lemongrass spiced chicken again to make it nicer. And I'll surely share the recipe of the nicer version here. The one I made last weekend was a bit too dry. I would love it to have more gravy and hotter. And I am sure that it'll be just like the curries, better on the second and third day than most meals are on the first.
