Setelah mencoba beberapa resep, akhirnya dapat resep dari Irma (maturnuwun jeng) dan langsung ngakak bolu kukusnya
Semalam saya bikin untuk disumbangkan ke sekolah Amara nanti siang, iseng-iseng mencoba resep dari Pennylane Kitchen bolkus dengan joghurt. Ternyata enak dan bolkusnya bisa ketawa juga.
Warnanya hitam, merah dan kuning untuk bendera Jerman… demam piala dunia nih… karena warnanya banyak jadi di fotonya kurang keliatan nih tertawa lebarnya bolu kukus. Senangnya…. akhirnya bisa bikin bolkus yg tertawa lebar, biasanya nyengir doang
Masukkan ke dalam mangkuk:
1,5 cangkir gula pasir
1 sdt emulsifier, 1/2 sdt baking powder
2 cangkir terigu
1 cangkir yoghurt
2 butir telur
Kocok semuanya dengan mixer sampai pucat (putih), kental sekali, dan berjejak.
Pisahkan sedikit adonan, campur dengan pewarna makanan. Untuk warna hitam saya pakai bubuk coklat, yang lain memakai pewarna makanan.
Tuang ke cetakan bolkus, bubuhi adonan warna, kukus 20 menit
Entah kenapa hasil mengembangnya lebih bagus yg saya buat dengan cetakan muffin. Yang dengan cetakan bolkusnya malah kurang mekar, jadinya malah seperti bunga mawar…. cantik juga sih…tapi tantangan bolkus itu kan justru mekarnya itu kan ?
Tadinya saya pikir salah satu yang membantu bolkus jadi mekar justru lubang-lubang di cetakannya. Tapi ternyata pakai cetakan muffin yang tertutup juga bisa mekar. Ada yang tahu kenapa bisa begitu?
This indonesian steamed cup cake is common cake in Indonesia. In Bali they steamed cup cakes are used for the temple offering. Usually there is no joghurt in indonesian steamed cup cake ( I will post that recipe later) but I found this recipe and had to try it.
The challenge in baking them is wheter the cup cake will rise or not. As you can see the left one looked somewhat like a rose but the right one open up like it should be. I bake the left batch with a bolu kukus cup and the right batch with muffin form. But since the cups should have the german colour (in spirit of the world cup 2010), the left batch look very good for me.
I am happy
So here is the recipe I modified a bit from pennylane kitchen recipe.
In a mixing bowl, beat together:
1,5 cups sugar
1 tsp emulsifier, 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1 cup fresh yoghurt (thick)
2 eggs
Beat all of them together until the batter becomes pale, thick, and the whisk leaves a vivid trail when stirring through the batter.
Spare some batter for the colour topping (about 3-5 Tbsp), I mix the black one with cocoa powder and the other colour with food colour
Drop the white batter into Bolu Kukus cups, then drop a teaspoon of colour batter on top of every cup. Steam for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
Lapis legit or spekkoek (dutch) is a spice flavored multi layers cake. The texture is similar to Baumkuchen in Germany but taste different because of the spices. I’ve tried different recipes and finally found one at pennylane kitchen that I really like.
Resep in bahasa Indonesia coming soon

How-to:
This is my very first fondant cake. I made the fondant with a very complicated recipes. The fondant turned out to be hard very soon and too sweet for our german taste. But still it was nice and the kids loved it.

This is the second cake with the same fondant, but I only use fondant on the top, I used butter creme on the side of the cake.
This is my first cake with MM Fondant. It was very hot that day and somehow the butter cream inside started to melt a bit.

This is two tiers cake with MM Fondant and a bit butter creme.
The cake was about 30 cm high and I didn’t think of the transportation. I used my laundry basket and the taxi driver was very kind, he drove very careful without me asking for it. I used four chocolate and white sponge cakes.
It was for Amara’s and Dorka’s joint 8 th birthday party.
