I was browsing through your recipes category list and noticed that the Pecan Brownies recipe u posted recently is not listed there.

Not sure if I've overlooked. Maybe u want to check and make ur list more complete? :-)

I just finished baking Suzy's Cake and just had a slice. Yummo! Richer than any chocolate cake I've ever had; it is fantastic. My cake sank quite a bit in the center and I didn't follow the instructions to cool in the fridge before unmolding. I just waited till the center looked solid enough before I flipped the pan over. Can't wait lah... And right before my eyes, my cake started to spread and slide and become flatter. I thought the center wasn't cooked but it was; though it was quite moist. Anyway, I didn't care and just cut a slice to eat; it was about 1 inch tall. It was like eating pure chocolate, but better. This time, I halved the recipe as I didn't know if I will succeed. Next time, I will make the full recipe. Hehehe...How was your experience making Suzy's Cake?

Sorry, very cheong hei, it's me again. Forgot to tell you earlier that I had baked it in a gelatin-mold-like tin, shaped like a bowl with fluted edges with a smaller bottom and a wider top, instead of a flat, straight-sided pan. Something like a bundt cake pan, minus the tube in the center. Maybe that's why the cake spreaded and slide when I flipped it over. It's probably a little too wet and too heavy in the center. Next time I will bake in a regular cake pan and see what happens :) What pan did you bake yours in?

I always enjoy your site. Recently, I tasted a swiss roll with banana (whole) and cream cheese filling. Do you have the recipe? The texture of the swiss roll is very soft and cornflour is one of the ingredient. Thanks.; May 01, 2007 7:35 am
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous,

O.K. Let me guess. Make any swiss roll base. If using cornflour, normally a little ovalette is added in.

Make cream cheese frosting, spread onto the sponge cake. Unpeel bananas, lay at the edge of the sponge cake and roll up into a swiss roll.

I used a normal chiffon cake tube pan with loose bottom. I hope you are referring to chiffon cake.

Aunty Yochana said...: HI Titiana,

Oops...Now I know you're referring to Suzy's cake.

The center is moist and soft. It's supposed to be like that. It's very very easy to make and the trouble is....too addictive. Once you eat, you will continue eating. I'm a chocolate lover, so it suits me perfectly especially when the cake is so moist and so chocolatey.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi cui,

I've asked Joanne to buy for me some nutmegs. I've asked her to search for Buttermilk powder and Sour Cream powder. Hope she can find it.

Hope you're enjoying yourself. Weather is getting cold, so wear thicker clothes. Eat more...you're too skinny!!

See ya when you're home.

rgds to you and aidan,
