再次失敗，於星期五晚，這次沒上次失敗得難看，成品切開來看起碼有兩成像蛋糕，不像上次的，像香蕉糕多於蛋糕。因為不服氣，所以這次決定再照德文蛋糕書裡的食譜再做一次，還做得挺認真的，除了人家攪拌材料的次序給我搞亂了點 (因為太集中於攪拌材料，忘了看食譜指引)，糖及牛油的量都減了丁點，烤箱不用大的改用小的，人家說要用三十厘米的烤盤我卻用了廿五厘米的 (因為選用小烤箱原故)，究竟錯在哪裡呢？我選用的食譜︰
- 220克 牛油 (我改用 200 克)
- 280克 砂糖 (我改用 250 克的 brown sugar)
- 少量 鹽
- 4 隻 (大)雞蛋
- 380克 麵粉
- 2茶匙 發粉
- 400克 熟香蕉蓉 + 1個檸檬的油 + 100毫升的牛奶
- 烤箱 200 度，烤五十分鐘
香蕉蛋糕派不成街坊，反而糊亂地用香蕉蛋糕餘下的一點蛋糕粉團 (因為較小的烤盤盛不了那麼多) 再加進可可粉、榛子粉和丁點發粉而做出來的八件實驗小鬆餅，竟還算過得去。 Phil 急不及待鯨吞兩件後，我嚷著叫他趁熱把餘下六件生還餅送到樓下的樂太太家裡，才不至於目睹他一晚吞八件小鬆餅的慘劇。因為得快手快腳的送走小鬆餅，所以連照也來不及拍拍。
小鬆餅我糊亂做也能似模似樣，看來以後多試做小鬆餅，挫折感會大減。
For 發粉, did you use baking powder or baking soda?
ReplyDeletewhatever the reason the cake did not turn out the way you wanted, I have to say I admire how persistent and resilient you're. I would have given up that recipe and done other stuffs instead if I failed to do it well couple times. you are special. :)
Holly I found an old recipe which I used to follow. I don't make this now cos my man doesn't like banana (stupid man!). It's for muffins. I have never failed with this recipe. Hope it's a success with you as well!

3/4 cup self-raising flour

Hi Holly, try to bake cucumber cake. It sounds a little bit strange and the cake is green. But it tastes really good. :)

Dora, 我用的是 baking powder，這兒特價超市賣的好像只有 baking powder，我還以為 baking powder 跟 soda 是一樣的呢... ~_~
ReplyDeleteKikare, 老外的味覺我也覺得很奇怪，P 超愛香蕉，但只吃生香蕉，即剛由青變黃那種，香蕉熟了，開始有小黑點，他就說不好吃，壞了要掉啦﹗~_~ 等我下次再買香蕉，便試做香蕉 muffins 吧，現在見蕉便氣餒﹗
JJ, 我跟 P 說，不如做青瓜蛋糕囉，他聽了馬上吐，因他最最最憎青瓜﹗XD
I don't know the difference. but I find recipes all very specifically state whether it's baking powder or baking soda, and i assume there's a difference, or else they won't do so. for banana bread, recipes often ask for baking soda.
ReplyDelete;)... why don't you train him to bake instead? since you're so busy... ask him to try. :)
I did before...since it was HIM who wanted to start baking... But every time he said, no la... I want to bake with you, it's more fun.
