hi yochana,
this cake looks yummy. did you use the pandan cake mould? can you please share the recipe?
nowadays there are so many silicon mould. do you trust that the intense baking heat does not transfer the chemicals to the cake?
Hi anonymous,
I did not use a pandan cake mould - guess you are referring to a tube chiffon mould. This mould is not a loose bottom mould. It's just a plain tube mould whereby you have to grease and flour it in order for easy removal of the cake.
The silicone mould is good for baking. It unmoulds easily and can withstand heat up to 482F or 250C. I have used many silicone moulds and it's not a problem with the intense heat which does not transfer chemicals to the cake.

Hi Aunty,
I baked the black sesame cake and made the longan & red dates konnyaku jelly. Both were great. My mum especially loved the black sesame cake, it's really fragrant and soft.
Thanks for ur recipes! :)

Hi Lucy,
Looking at the recipe, I noticed there is no mention of coffee powder in the recipe given even though it is called Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake. Has it been missed out?
Thanks.
Christina
hi Christina,
There is no coffee in this cake. It's a cake that goes with a cup of coffee hence the name "Coffee cake".

Hi cindy,
yes...any tube mould will do.

hi aunty,
I have one question regarding sponge cakes.
Wht's the difference between sponge cake mixes and traditional sponge cakes?
I baked traditional sponge cakes before and i feel tht it's too dry for my liking.
Do you know whether sponge cake mixes produces a more moist and fluffy cake?
I ate a cake from a bakery and the sponge cake is very spongy and moist but not dense.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi YL,
Traditional sponge cake uses just eggs, sugar and flour to make. Simple and cheap ingredients. If you use this traditional sponge cake, you have to brush your slice cakes with some sugar syrup with liquer. They become very spongy and moist.
Sponge cake mix is also called Optima flour. Very easy to use and they are very good to eat it even if it's own it's own. For sponge cake mix, firstly, you have to get the optima flour then beat it with eggs and water then pour in melted butter. Pour into a tin then bake.
Hope you are clear..

Dear Aunty,
Thanks for the explanation.
Have you heard before that ppl uses chiffon cakes to make into a cream cake (as in a birthday cake)?
Do you think this would make a more moist and softer cake?
I felt traditional sponge is very dry and coarse.
Regards,

hi YL,
