Where did you purchase the heart shape cutter? I can't find one with such a nice size.

Is the bottom layer a choc sponge? Do you have a simple recipe for that?

Thanks

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Theresa,

This cutter is hand-made which one of my friend did it for me.

The base is a chocolate sponge mix. Use the optima sponge cake receipe but use the chocolate sponge mix instead.

if i want to modify the pierre herme chocolate macaron recipe you adapted for a vanilla bean macaron do i just omit the cocoa powder or replace with almond flour? and how much? thanks!

sorry if i sound like a pest... but i wanna make this for my mum's bday on wed! please reply!; February 09, 2009 4:38 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: hi anonymous,

I would appreciate if you can leave a name for me to address.

I'm in no position to modify PH's recipe but I would say that you can just omit the cocoa powder. I've not tried it tho..so whether it works or not is a question mark? I hope Pierre read this and he can help.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Olivia,

This is a non-bake cheesecake but the sponge cake is baked definitely.

Happy Chap Goh Mei to you and family.
Aunty, can you pls share how did you get such a nice clean cut on the sides of the cake? Wouldn't it crumb slightly? Aunty, do you cut them with the cutter only when the cake is fully set?
Thanks for answering my curiosity =); February 09, 2009 5:38 pm

Aunty Yochana said...: hi beginner,

I tried jelly heart cake why the strawberry always floated up? Pls help me. Btw, your cutter is the same height as the cake or can it be shorter? You said use optima sponge cake recipe but chocolate sponge mix. Is it ready mixed. can we purchase from the supermarket or Phoon Huat? Thank you.

Aunty Yochana said...: hi anonymous (I would appreciate if you could leave a name for me to address)

For chocolate sponge mix, please get it from sun Lik. If you want to buy from Phoon Huat, I've no comments on that.

Place the strawberries on top when the cheese is still soft so that it will stick on and won't float up.

Thanks for your advise today I saw the packet of optima sponge mix (1Kg) but is not chocolate sponge mix. Can you share the recipe? I have 2 heart shape cutters about 2 inches in height, must the cutter be actually the same height as the cake? Thanks

anonymous; February 11, 2009 9:09 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

I have no time go to Sun Lik, can i use Bake King optima sponge cake mix but how much cocoa powder should I add because the pkt is not chocolate mix.

Thk u very much

anonymous; February 12, 2009 12:23 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: hi anonymous,

yes bake king is good. Just add in 20 to 25 gm of cocoa powder and reduce the amount of the sponge cake mix to replace it. There again, it depends on your quality of the cocoa powder too. Some are darker in colour and some are lighter.

rgds; February 12, 2009 5:32 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

Thanks again, I have Hersheys Cocoa Natural Unsweeten powder. You said to add 20 to 25 gm of cocoa powder but how much Bake King sponge mix should I reduce.
Should I use the whole pkt (1 Kg) sponge mix & what is the size of square cake tin?

Thank you so much

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous

(Psst...I would appreciate if you could like a name so that I can address you properly. I may not reply to questions with ppl who just leave it as anonymous..thanks for your co-operation).

Wait until the cheese layer is set before pouring the jelly layer otherwise it will become marble instead.
rgds; February 13, 2009 10:46 am
Aunty Yochana said...: hi anonymous (I would appreciate if you could a name)

1 Kg of sponge mix can make 4 9" round sponge cake. Please look up for the recipe in my blog.

thanks.

I want to try to make this beautiful chocolate jelly cheesecake. I bought a pkt of Bake King Optima ready sponge cake mix. The receipe on the pkt stated 1000 gm optima, 1000 gm egg, 100 gm butter & 140 gm water. I am using 11" cake tray so how much should I use? where can I find your chocolate sponge cake recipe in your blog?

Thank you so much.

Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

Me again, forgot to ask you. I'm using Bake King optima ready sponge mix must I still add ovalette. What is the use of ovalette as I saw in some other receipes?

Thank you so much

Marie; February 14, 2009 1:02 am
Aunty Yochana said...: HI Marie,

Bake King optima flour is O.K. You can omit the ovalette if you like.

Just whisk till thick and double in volume.

rgds; February 14, 2009 2:14 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Marie,

you can use the recipe that you have given me...just make 1/2 recipe for a 11" tray. There again, it also depends on what ht you want.

rgds; February 14, 2009 2:16 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

Where can I find your chocolate sponge cake in your blog? 500gm of egg equal to how many medium egg? You said use 1/2 the recipe I gave you, can I get the height of about 2" for 11" tray?

Thanks

Marie; February 14, 2009 4:04 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Marie,

I've not tried your recipe.

1 egg = 60 gm. eggs

For 1/2 recipe (your recipe), the ht for the 11" tray will be about 3 inches. Cut down accordingly if you want a lower ht.

What is the ht of your chocolate sponge cake & cheese layer?

What is the use of ovalette?

Thanks

Marie; February 15, 2009 12:55 am
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Marie

mine is about 2 mm in ht and the ovalette is for stablizing the batter.

rgds; February 15, 2009 3:08 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

If I use 250gm of Bake King optima ready mixed sponge cake flour using 10" square tray, can I get 2mm ht of sponge cake? & how many eggs should I add. Pls. advise. Thanks

Marie; February 20, 2009 11:34 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Marie

yes definitely you can achieve that height. Use 4 eggs.

Please search for the optima flour sponge cake recipe in my blog and use it.

rgds; February 21, 2009 2:07 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous

I will post it here:

250 gm. chocolate sponge mix or optima sponge mix
70 ml. water
4 eggs
70 ml. cornoil

Whisk all together except oil till thick. Fold in oil then pour into pan to bake for 40 mins at 175C.

rgds; February 21, 2009 2:10 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

Thanks for the recipe. You said whisk all ingredients together, for how long? I am using the Philip normal small cake mixer, what no should I beat at 1,2,or 3? what is whisk, it's normal beating like creaming butter & sugar?
Thanks

anonymous; February 21, 2009 2:36 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous and Marie

I cannot mention the timing because each individual machine has it's speed n power. Just whisk till it's more than double in volume. You will be able to see that it has changed colour (paler) and it's very thick too.

rgds; February 21, 2009 2:48 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochan,

Sorry, I want to try to bake later. What is whisk? It's the same as creaming butter & sugar like butter cake? At high or midium speed? Thanks

anonymous; February 21, 2009 2:55 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous

A whisk is a wire attachment for whisking eggs and sugar.

rgds; February 21, 2009 3:17 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

So my Philip cake mixer do not the whisk wire, only 2 sets of beaters. If I use hand held egg whisk to whisk how long must I whisk? Can I use Bega cream cheese instead of Philidelphia cream cheese? Thanks

anonymous; February 21, 2009 3:28 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous (please leave a name),

Please read your instruction manual which is for whisking.

Any cream cheese will do.

rgds; February 21, 2009 3:54 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

I baked chocolate sponge cake again using your recipe but sad to say, my sponge cake risen in the oven but when I touch it, is hard not spongy. Where did I go wrong again. Anyway I already made the cream cheese layer. Can I pour the jelly layer the next day even after 8 hrs. Thank you

Marie; February 22, 2009 1:21 am
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Marie,

In that case, blend some biscuits and mix it with some melted butter then press into the tin. Chill it till hard then pour the cheese layer on top.

You can microwave your cheese mixture till it's soft enough to pour on top of the biscuit base.

rgds; February 22, 2009 1:06 pm
Anonymous said...: Hi Yochana,

Why my chocolate sponge & the cheese layer seperated when I cut the whole cake? I used your recipe250gm Bake King optima sponge mix, 4 eggs,70ml water & 70ml corn oil. My sponge cake turned out a bit hard not so spongy. Pls advise, thanks

Marie; February 26, 2009 12:46 am

Can we use melted butter instead of corn oil for sponge cake? Thanks

anonymous; February 26, 2009 12:48 am
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous (appreciate if you at least leave a nickname)

Yes you can use melted butter instead of cornoil.

You need more practice.
