I really hope to success with this walnut cake as my grandma loves walnut cake and I hope I can bake 1for her.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Yo maybe you can advise me on the following points and I will bake again. Hope is time will be successful. Wish me good luck. :)<BR/><BR/>What should the the butter mixture should be when the mixing is done? Is it pale or still yellow?<BR/><BR/>How thick should the egg mixture be? Is it same thickness as the condense milk or thicker?<BR/><BR/>After pouring the fresh milk into the egg mixture. Do I need to beat until thick again? Or I just mix well will do?<BR/><BR/>After I fold in the sieved cake flour and baking powder. Should I gently mix into the egg mixture with a spatula until just mix and lumpy? Or I must use the machine to mix until all blended and no more trace of flour and batter is smooth?<BR/><BR/>Should I greased the lined cake pan? My mother say may be I greased the lined cake. As walnut will produce oil when baking. Is it true. BTW my mother only how to say, she didnt even bake or cook at meal for me before. I have to cook and bake for her. But is ok lah, afterall she is my mother. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sorry for being so long winded. Like my grandma say, dont know must ask until the claypot crack. Then one will be able to achieve.<BR/><BR/>With love,<BR/>JacquelineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-24080298660681428362008-08-20T10:36:00.000+08:002008-08-20T10:36:00.000+08:00Hi Jacqueline,Sounds wierd...how come so much oil?...Hi Jacqueline,<BR/><BR/>Sounds wierd...how come so much oil? I've never experienced this before so my comments might not be accurate. I wonder if you overbeat the butter till it turned oily (which actually shouldn't be a problem because sometimes I used melted butter). Another factor to it could be that the mixing was overdone.<BR/><BR/>rgdsAunty Yochanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265525349059979821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-69119594612298169192008-08-20T10:25:00.000+08:002008-08-20T10:25:00.000+08:00Dear Aunt Yo,Is me again, Jacqueline.

After baking for 30 mins at 175C, the top part of the cake is brown so I use a aluminum foil to cover the top and continue to bake for another 20 mins at 175C. I test the cake with a satay stick and it come out clean. After I cool the cake in the pan, when I turn out the cake, it was very oily on the base, while I try to take out the paper, the oil started to drip, you can imagine how oily is my cake. When I cut my cake, I can heard the sound like a spong. The cake still taste very good.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Yo where did I go wrong.<BR/><BR/>I cream butter and vanilla essence till the butter change color from yellow to light yellow almost white.<BR/><BR/>I whisk the eggs, castor sugar and ovalette till thick (thickness like condense milk). Pour in fresh milk and mix with machine again (tickness still like condense milk.)<BR/><BR/>I fold in sieved cake flour and baking powder gently into the egg mixture with a spatula until just mixed.<BR/><BR/>I fold in butter into the egg mixture gently by a spatula followed by the chopped walnuts and pour into the cake pan and sprinker some chopped walnuts for sprinkling on top of cake batter.
