Why, it is once again the time when I get so bored and I start finding things to do.
Today it was Moist Chocolate Cake Day!
Started out preparing all the ingredients. Reading through the recipe it was mentioned that I needed to beat the egg whites separately. There I was thinking that if I beat the other ingredients already, don't I have to was the beater to beat the egg whites? So the extremely lazy me decided to HAND beat the eggs with a freaking FORK.
Stupid, I know, but then it turned out fluffy and shiny anyway (with a good exercise too!)
Then there I go, mixing in everything and finally into the tray it goes. At that point I realised that the tray was too big. Horrible judgement. So the batter was barely an inch from the bottom. I have an extremely flat cake! :(
Anyways, waited for the cake to be done and damn it smells incredible! Took it out and realised that it was rather dry.
Soon I found out the culprit. The recipe stated that I was suppose to be using dark chocolate, grated. Instead, I used cocoa powder, which I think is dryer and more bitter because a chocolate bar will have oil in it. Dumbass...
So since the MOIST chocolate cake is no longer moist (I think its more of a crumble now), I added a nice scoop of cookies and cream ice cream onto it to give it some moisture and sweetness.
Hell yeah! It taste even awesomer after that. ;)
So the cake shall be my dinner for today! :)
KL for 3 days and all I get is approximately 3 hours of sleep. I hate the fact that alcohol works like caffeine for me. Bloody shit was awake till almost sunrise and when I finally can sleep, I am suppose to be up.
Dang! Nevetheless, it was awesome being on Team Sober and witnessing all the fucking funny things happens.
Time to burn those beer calories... after October... :)
Tuesday would be the last day of classes EVER! If I graduate, this class would be the last time I will ever sit in the class for a lecture! Well, not including the revision classes.
4 years! Just flew pass just like that. I can't wait till I am done with exams and then p-p-p-party till I get a permanent job. Or maybe I'll just continue the party... ;)
I am currently one of the most laid back university student ever on the face of the earth! This week, I don't have a single class and instead of rotting at home, I finally finished making my sister's wedding favour bags. They have been lying there since like forever...
Then I got bored again. That only kept me occupied for one night. So I've decided to make a trial batch of Tang Yuans! It is a custom to have them the night before the wedding. The plain ones are so boring. Thus, I decided to make the colourful ones. Started with orange.
I went searching online and found out that all I needed to to was to add in sweet potato into the flour.
Therefore,
Success! :D
Tastes yummy! Started off with the plain ones but then they were too tasteless. Added in gula melaka into some. Then I ran out of gula melaka and finally stuffed the leftover sweet potatoes in the final few.
Not too bad, really! Since originally the Tang Yuans are tasteless, adding anything else into it just makes the entire thing tastes like the stuffing.
Happy with them! Shall be making green ones soon! :D
