Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake

Since I'm not doing marketing neither having breakfast with my gang this morning, I decided to make a cheesecake. This is the first time I'm trying this new recipe. Not very difficult, you may want to try it out too.

Ingredients A :
250g softened unsalted butter
150g caster sugar
1/8 tsp salt

Ingredients B :
2 eggs
1 egg yolk

Ingredients C (sifted together) :
120g plain flour
20g cocoa powder
1/4 tsp double action baking powder

Cheese Batter (mixed well) :
250g softened cream cheese
70g caster sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 egg

Method :
1. Beat ingredient A until creamy. Add ingredients B (one egg at a time) and mix well.
2. Add ingredients C slowly until well mix.
3. Line your baking pan with greaseproof paper. Spoon cocoa batter and cheese batter alternately onto the pan and swirl it with a small knife for marbled effect.
4. Heat up your oven at 180 degree celsius for 5 minutes.
5. Then bake at 150 degree celsius for 50-60 minutes or until cooked. (if you are using big oven, you may turn to 180 degree celsius for 45 minutes).

Fresh from oven.

And this is my homemade Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake for tea break, anyone?

The Making Of "Egg Tart"

Guess what? I was trying to make some homemade egg tart during the long holidays since we didn't plan for any vacation. I'm very lazy and scared to try something unusual, unscheduled, no confident, time consuming activities and etc..... reason being I just don't wish to waste my energy, time spend to complete the task, money and most important is my hope. If the result does not come up to my expectation, then I would feel "xian liaw".

Since I talked so loud about my plan to my colleague and one of my friend who willing to taste it, ai ya...no choice, must do it......otherwise "malu" ler, "cakap kuat aja".

After spending 1.5 hours on preparing the ingredients according to the recipe, finally my task was completed half. See photo of the egg tart ready for oven.

After 20mins, my egg tart were ready. Emmmm.....who dare to try it. He He.....I gave Audrey first priority to taste it and guess what she said "mummy, "tan tart" very yummy". I was so happy until I took my first bite, cheeseeeeee, the "skin" of the tart was not fully cook. My goodness. Nevermind, try again next round.....I'll be back.

P/S : Alvin, luckily you were not here, otherwise "pai seh".
