buttermilk cornbread
sumber: the girl who ate everything <-- this sound like me!

Bowl 1

• 2 eggs
• 1 c. butter (melted) <-- abt 227g
• 2/3 c. sugar
• 1 c. buttermilk <-- 1Tbs vinegar + 1C milk
• ½ t. baking soda

Bowl 2

• 1 c. corn meal
• 1 c. flour
• ½ t. salt
• 1tbs honey <-- cant help myself to add this on :D

1. Combine all together. Spray an 8X8 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. <-- you can mix eveything in blender of food processor.

verdict:
the sweetness is just nice.. even tho i had added the honey. 1Tbs does not affect the taste i guess..
i brought a jar of marmalade (just in case the taste is too bland) to office and most of my friend makan begitu saja.. dah cukup sedap kot? :D

• 225g/7 1/8 oz butter at room temperature
• 225g/7 1/8 oz caster or superfine sugar
• 3 eggs (165g/5 1.2 oz) lightly beaten
• 110g /3 3/4oz ground almond
• 110g /3 3/4oz shredded coconut long thread
• 110g /3 3/4oz fine polenta
• finely grated zest of 2 lemon
• 2.5 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract

Icing

• 225g/ 71/8oz icing confectioner’s sugar, sieved
• 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice
• Sugar flowers to decorate (optional)

1. Set the oven to 150c/300F. If making this as a large cake grease and line a 24cm (9.5 inch) round cake tin or if you are using mini muffin trays, butter them well and place a little square or circle of parchment on the base as shown to prevent any sticking. Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer for 2 minutes or until lump free (the mixture does not need to be light and fluffy). Slowly beat in the eggs, the fold in the ground almonds, polenta, lemon zest, lemon juice, baking powder and vanilla.

2. Pour into cake tin. If you are using a mini muffin tray fill them 2/3 of the way up. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes for mini muffins or 30-50 minutes for a whole cake until they are just coming away from the side of the tin. Remove the squares of parchment.

3. To make the icing, mix the sieved icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth. Spoon over the cake/s letting the icing dribble down the sides a bit. Leave the icing to set.

verdict:

plum, polenta, and olive oil cake

inilah resepi pertama yg dicuba dari timbunan buku yang dibeli..
buku yang tak pernah didengar namanya - cake keeper cakes
tapi saya beli sebab bekenan description: 100 simple recipes
dasar pemalas. nak yang mudah & simple ja :p
retail price buku ni rm73.60 tapi bookxcess jual rm19.90
happy :)

polenta ialah cornmeal.. tapi bukan tepung jagung tau!

warnanya kuning dan kasar drp tekstur tepung

and its gluten-free!

sesiapa yg ada diabetes elok makan ia sbg ganti nasi/ roti

tapi cara masak utk ganti nasi/ roti saya belum study..

sebab hanya berminat dengan baking ;)

saya beli cornmeal di cold storage

harganya rm10.99 utk 500g

memang sgt mahal!

tapi teringin nak rasa punya pasal.. beli je lah!

bahan2:

• 1cwn tepung
• 1/2cwn yellow cornmeal/ polenta
• 1 1/2sdk baking powder
• 1/4sdk garam
• 2biji telur saiz besar
• 2/3cwn gula <-- tak kurangkan pun takpa.. tak manis sgt pun
• 1/2cwn minyak zaitun (extra-virgin)
• 1/3cwn susu
• 1sdk vanilla
• 1sdk parutan kulit lemon <-- saya letak kulit oren
• 1 3/4cwn red seedless grapes <-- saya guna 2biji plum
• gula aising, utk tabur atas kek

tatacara:

1. panaskan oven 175C. gris loyang spring form 9inci.
2. gaul tepung, cornmeal, baking powder dan garam dalam mangkuk sedang.
3. pukul gula dan telur hingga gebu dan berwarna pucat (lebihkurang 5minit). perlahankan kelajuan mixer dan masukkan minyak zaitun. pukul 1minit dengan kelajuan sederhana. masukkan susu, vanilla dan parutan kulit oren dan pukul pada kelajuan perlahan.
4. masukkan adunan tepung 1/2cwn sekali masuk. masukkan grapes separuh. tuang kedalam loyang dan bakar 10minit.
5. masukkan baki grapes (masa ni baru saya masukkan plum) dan sambung bakar 40minit (saya bakar 30minit).
6. tabur gula aising keatas kek yang telah masak.

verdict:
polenta membuatkan tekstur kek agak kasar dan berbijik2 tapi tak lemak macam makan almond meal cake.. rupa macam butter cake tapi rasa langsung tak macam butter cake.. tapi takdela rasa pelik bila guna minyak zaitun tu.. and its not sweet either! agak2 geng opis suka tak? ;)

lupa pulak.. inilah buku tu:
