Butter Cake with Cream Cheese Filling

Being at my mum's for the weekend, naturally I'll have loads of free time haha. No housework of my own to do.

Since my sister and husband were coming, I decided to bake something to share the fats around.

I had cream cheese and butter to use, and this was one of the recent crazes among baking bloggers, the butter chocolate cheese cake.

But my sister didn't want a chocolate version hence, just butter cake with cream cheese filling or centre.

I adapted the recipe from here, didn't add in milk because the eggs I used were already big and the batter is quite liquid.

Butter Cream Cheese Cake

225g butter, softened
6 oz caster sugar
8 oz flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs

250g cream cheese
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 egg

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add in egg one at a time and mix well. Add in the flour and baking powder and that's your cake batter.
Cream the cream cheese with the sugar, then egg and flour. I didn't use an electric mixer so I had some small lumps but that's okay.
Add half the batter to a 9 inch pan (I think should use 8 inch cos I couldn't get enough batter to cover the cream cheese at the side of the pan) and spread it smoothly, then add the cream cheese layer and spread it all round. Add the cake batter layer last. I sprinkled some chocolate chips in the cheese layer, and almonds on the top.

My baby boy helped mix the cake batter and put in the chocolate chips :) I love baking with him :)

Pattern success!

Two more days till Husband is back! :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
