Irish Cutie Adult Costume

LOVE without HOPE

love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher

swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter,

so let the imprisoned larks escape and fly

singing about her head, as she rode by.

"...just let me go if you can do me right."

Kek Lapis Lemon Cheese

This is my prototype recipe i create myself. I hope you like it.

Ingredients:
10 large eggs
200g fine sugar
140g superfine flour
100g horlicks
170g kaya ( coconut custard )
450g pure butter
375g sweetened condensed milk
250g Kraft's Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 tbsp ovallette / cake stabilizer / cake emulsifier
2 tbsp lemon zest
tbsp lemon juice
yellow food coloring

*make sure all the ingredients are in room temperature.
In a mixer, beat cream cheese with sugar till soft and fluffy. Add in kaya, condensed milk and horlick. Add butter. Add egg one by one.

Next, add ovallette. Remove from mixer.
Using large spoon, Mix in flour ane spoonful at a time till finish. Divide mixture into two separate bowl. In one bowl, add the lemon zest and its juice together with the yellow color. Mix well. Leave another bowl of batter plain.

Preheat the oven to 200 degree C. Before layering the batter, brush some butter on your baking pan of 8"x8" and line it with baking paper. One layer at a time pour a small amout of batter and spread it till you achieve the layer thickness that you like. Usually i prefer it to be as thin as possible, maybe 2 - 3 mm per layer thickness which would take me 4-6 minutes to bake in 200 degree C. Repeat the step for the next layer till finish.

When baking, only use top heat and lay your baking pan on top rack. DO NOT LEAVE your cake without any supervision. Sometime the baking time differs depend on the thickness of your layer cake.
