• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (heaping)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (which was about 1 lemon for me)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• zest of two lemons

For the cream cheese filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease or spray a 9" springform pan with vegetable spray. <-- i use pie plate as my springform pan is deformed :(
2. Make the filling -- In a large bowl or bowl of a standmixer, beat the cream cheese on medium-high to high speed for about 5 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
3. Add confectioners' sugar and beat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and beat until completely combined, about 1 minute. Add butter, both extracts and lemon zest. Beat until completely combined, about 1 minute. Set aside.
4. Make the cake -- In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract and lemon zest until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour batter evenly into springform pan. Carefully pour filling mixture evenly over the cake batter to within about 1/2 inch of the edge of the pan. (The filling should cover all but the outer 1/2 inch, at which point the cake batter will be visible.)
6. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake has puffed up and toothpick inserted near edge of cake comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully remove springform sides and allow to cool on rack for 1 hour. Transfer to refrigerator and chill completely before serving.
8. Serve chilled, with a little sprinkling of confectioners' sugar.

assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

another farewell in the department..
its very sad when great people are leaving us
but they have to move on.. they have created a path for their destiny
rather being in the same place, playing idle..
they dare to shift from their comfort zone into the unknown
i wish all the best and may Allah grant them jannatul firdaus.

mayonaise pull apart rolls

assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

hari khamis dapat email teman seusrah nak bawak durian
tak sesuailah pulak kalau saya nak bawak kek
makanya.. digodek2 pinterest, jumpa resepi bun ni..
dah lama "pin"kan sampai terlupa!

simple and easy!

sumber: askchefdennis.com

• 1 lb all purpose flour (approx. 4 cups)
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup mayo
• 1 tsp activated dry yeast
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 egg
• seeds to decorate

1. Mix all ingredients together starting with the flour, adding water, yeast, mayo and lastly the salt.
2. Knead well until the dough becomes smooth and keeps together. If the dough is too sticky add a couple of spoon of flour, if is too dry add a bit of water. In the end you should have a rather soft dough.
3. Put the dough in a large bowl and cover with plastic film, then place in a warm place to proof (I usually put it in the oven with the light on)
4. When the dough has doubled (2-6 hours depending on room condition), form it into balls slightly bigger than a golf ball and place in a baking dish to proof until it doubles in size.
5. Choose an baking dish that is not too big. (You can use a large pizza pan or two cake pans.)
6. The idea is that while raising the bread rolls will fill the whole pan and create a sort of big flower.
7. When the rolls have proofed, brush with the lightly beaten egg and decorate with your favorite seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, flax or even paprika or grated cheese.
8. Bake at 400F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

si lembut gebu yang tawar :p

verdict:

roti yg lembut walaupun tiada agen pelembut!

cuma.. tawar heber je.. tapi bila makan dgn durian atau jem stoberi.. yummy!

2. Melt the butter and 70%-cocoa chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Stir in the cherries and nuts, then take off the heat.
3. In another bowl, add the sugar, then sift in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir till well combined. Mix in the eggs. If using, stir through the chopped chocolate.
