Kek Batik/Marie Fudge Cake 沙捞越巴迪蛋糕

Have you heard of Kek Batik? It is very popular in my hometown here in Sarawak. It is a non-bake nor steam cake. It is a fudgy and nice cake with basic cake ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs but no flour. Milo, condensed milk and nestum is added to have more texture and flavor in this cake. The batik cake from my hometown normal will add another secret ingredient 'Gula Hitam' (browning sugar). The ingredient enhance the flavor and darker color of the cake. Most of the cake in Sarawak will this ingredient, like Cake Hitam. In the below recipe gula hitam is added in but i will share another recipe soon with gula hitam.

All this Kek Batik need to do  is just cook the batter into thick and grainy texture then add in Marie biscuits, press it firmly into a prepared baking pan and chilled it.





Kek Batik (Marie Fudge Cake)
recipe refer to Corner Cafe and Wendyinnk
makes one 7 inches square cake

Ingredients for the custard:
100g milo
25g cocoa powder
125ml boiling water
190g butter, cut into larger chunks
200g sweet condensed milk
110g white granulated sugar (i used 90g)
50g nestum (i added)
5 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
250g Marie biscuits

To Do:
1. Prepare a 7 inches square baking tin. Lined with baking paper (or plastic wrap), lightly greased inside of the tin so the paper sticks to the tin, extending paper 2-3cm above edge of all sides of the tin.

2. Slowly add boiling water to milo and cocoa powder in a large sauce pan (i use a small wok), stirring vigorously til it is smooth. Add butter, sweet condensed milk, sugar, lightly beaten eggs, vanilla and nestum to the wok.



3. Place over moderate heat and cook, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon until the bottom starts to thicken. (about 5 minutes)

4. Turn the heat to low, continue to cook stirring without stopping for 20 minutes or until thick custard forms. (this will look grainy and thick)



5. Spread one layer of custard onto the pan. Arrange Marie biscuits on custard. (or you can just break the biscuits into quarter and add it into the custard and mix)

6. Repeat the above process until all custard have used up. A thin layer of custard is enough for the inter-layers.


7.When it is all done, fold in all sides of the paper extension on the top and even the surface of the cake. Press down firmly to compact the cake to have nice and firm layers.

8. Cover with cling wrap and chilled the cake in refrigerator overnight. 

9. When the cake is firm, use the sides of the paper extension as handle to pull the cake out of the pan. (loosen the sides by sliding a plastic spatula along between the paper lining and sides of the baking pan. Slice and serve.



ENJOY~

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
