Bee Hive cake

 This is my 2nd attempt in making this cake after so many years. My first attempt the beehive is not so distinct but the taste is there. I think I does not add enough baking soda. Well here are the recipe which I used adapted from Y2K..
.

Ingredients
(A.)
3 tbsp butter
½ tin or 194g condensed milk

(B)
Sieved together:
120g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

(C)
5 large eggs

230g castor sugar *
200ml hot water*


Method:
1.   Preheat oven to 200 degree C.
2.   Beat condensed milk and butter till pale and fluffy. .Gently fold in sifted dry ingredients (B).
3.   In another mixing bowl, beat eggs till fluffy and almost double in volume.  Add into the condensed milk batter
4    In a saucepan over low heat, caramelize the sugar ( without the water) until it turns a dark golden brown. 
    * As soon as the melted sugar has turned golden yellow, turn the heat to right low. Continue heating till the sugar turns golden brown. Do not burnt the sugar or it could result in a  bitter cake. This will take about 6 to 8 minutes and let the sugar brown slowly as you stir it. Then add the  hot water a little at a time, the hot sugar may spit and splatter. Continue adding water one tbsp at a time till it stops sizzling, then pour in the rest of water. Stir and scrape the side until the caramel is dissolved in the water and it becomes thin syrup. Remove from heat and turn heat off
Set aside the pan to cool off a bit.
5.  Fold the caramel into the mixed batter but do not over fold or air bubbles will be deflated Pour the caramel butter sauce into the batter and mix well.
6.   Pour the batter into a greased, 9-inch round cake pan.
7.   Bake at 200 degree C for about 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1. Place Bread flour in a mixing bowl. 2. .Add hot boiling water and mix with wooden spoon to form a rough dough.. 3. Cover bowl with cling film and leave dough to cool in the fridge f
