yochana, I read to make lapis sarawak we have to use hongkong flour, is the finish product making with the hongkong flour different from cake flour?, what is the different? , Is hongkong flour the same with Paw flour?. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi anonymous,
For making lapis, any low gluten flour is acceptable. Hong Kong flour is pau flour, they're the same. Using low gluten flour, makes the cake softer in texture. For lapis, I use Cake flour.

Hi yochana,
Have been lurking in your blog for some time and am marvelling at your great skills and bakeries. Wondering if I could ask where you learnt your skills? I have a great passion for baking/cooking for my family but not good at it. Attended some classes in the past but not up to standard. Would like to pursue my interest given the time I have right now. Would you be able to give me some guidance? Thx much. Still drooling over your lovely cakes!!
Hi hi,
Been visiting your blog recently and am marvelling at your cakes. I have a passion for baking/cooking but never had the time to pursue. Was wondering if you could share with me where you learnt your excellent skills. Would appreciate if you give me some guidance. Thx much.
hi muffinholics,
I used to attend classes when I was at my early twenties just to learn the basics.
Now I practice and learn through books and magazines. Practice makes perfect though.

Hi Dizzy,
To cut the cake into triangles, you measure 2" at the base and get the center point at the top and then cut from the center point on top to the other end of the base.

Yes Kate,

Hi anonymous
Broiling (exclusive to American and Canadian English) or grilling (elsewhere in the English speaking world) is a process of cooking food with high heat with the heat applied directly to the food, most commonly from above. Heat transfer to the food is primarily via thermal radiation. As it is a way of cooking without added oil, it is popular in low-fat diets.
In electric ovens, broiling/grilling may be accomplished by placing the food near the upper heating element, with the lower heating element off and the oven door partially open. Gas ovens often have a separate compartment for broiling, as a drawer below the flame.
I hope the above helps you to understand your oven and I think making lapis with it is no problem.

hi aunt yochana,
thanks for taking the trouble to post up such detailed explanation. It really helps.thank you very much!
Another thing is when i'm broilling the cake lapis, which rack should i put my cake tin in? The lowest rack or the highest rack? Because it is said that it's accomplished by placing the food near upper heating element.
Thanks.
Hi anonymous,
for my grill, I normally place it at the bottom rack but I think you try the middle rack first and judge for yourself. If you find that the cake brown too fast, move down to the lower rack otherwise middle rack should be fine for broiling. A normall lapis will take between 5 to 8 mins. per layer.

Hi Lucy,
I can't find orange emulco and chocolate paste in Australia. What can I substitute with?

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I'm puzzled with step 1. Do you put the flour to beat together with the egg yolk and sugar?
Hi Wendy,
for step (1), mix all the ingredients (A) together and whisk till thick. That includes flour too. Normally eggs beating with ovalette is like...

Hi anonymous,
to substitute chocolate paste...use cocoa powder mixed with some hot water.
for orange emulco..buy the star brand orange essence or just squeeze on orange juice and cook over low heat till slightly thickened.
