Cup Cake Mania !

Baking my favourite cup cake again last weekend. This time I tried to bake pandan flavoured one. The reason why I baked this flavor of cup cake is because i missed the smell of pandan leaf so much ! It's really very aromatic and unforgetable. They are known as 'daun pandan' in Indonesian and Malay; and 斑蘭 (bān lán) in Mandarin. Fresh leaves are typically torn into strips, tied in a knot to facilitate removal, placed in the cooking liquid, then removed at the end of cooking. Dried leaves and bottled extract may be bought in some places. IT's really give a very nice aroma to the dishes !

The last time when i worked on pandan leave extract is last year December when I was trying to make some 'Tang Yuen' (chinese dumpling). Gosh ! But this time i forgot to capture some great photos of it. Will do that next time & I sweared. A recipe without photos similar to nasi lemak (coconut milk rice originated from Malay) without sambal chili (Chili Paste) !

This version of cup cake recipe is adapted from Delicisious Halloween Hooting Owl Cup Cake recipe. But I have replaced the cocoa powder with 'pandan leaf' juice that I extracted from freshly picked pandan leaf from my garden. I have sprinkle some sun flower and pumpkin seeds
on top of it, plus some raisin for each cup.

My hubby commented that it taste like those selling in bakery shop. This really lighten my heart very very much ! This is the original recipe that I have used, for my version i have adapted abit by adding some salt to the flour & evaporated milk for softer texture. Hope you like It !

• 280g butter , softened
• 280g golden caster sugar

Looking For A Whole Grains Snack For Your Kids ?

Here is another yummy recipes for your kids after my posting of Hawaiian Nut Cookie Recipe.
This recipe uses 'Popcorn' as main ingredient. I am sure your kids will love it !

Popcorn is a whole grain food which makes it a high-quality carbohydrate source that is not only low in calories, but a good source of fiber. This means it takes longer to chew and makes you feel full longer. Compared to many snack foods, popcorn is low in calories. Air-popped popcorn provides only 30 calories per cup. When oil-popped, it contains only 55 calories. Even drizzled lightly with butter, it's only 90 to 120 calories per cup.

Crunchy Popcorn Trail Mix

5 cups popped popcorn
3 cups whole grain oat cereal
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup peanuts (or other nuts)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
6 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon light corn syrup

* Stir together popcorn, cereal, raisins and nuts in large microwavable bowl; set aside.

* Combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in small saucepan. Heat until boiling; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat evenly.

* Microwave 3-4 minutes, stirring and scraping bowl after each minute. Spread onto greased cookie sheet; cool. Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
