Dear readers,

Here is the recipe for the day from pinoyfoodblog.com. I am also requesting a huge favor. If you think I should win as “The One” in Globe’s Tatt Awards, then please vote online for me and consider Blog Watch (as The Advocate)…via this link http://tattoo.globe.com.ph/tattawards/vote.Chef Patron Inez Vargas Javellana from the famous Vargas Kitchen dropped by The Maya Kitchen recently and shared delightful recipes for the Holidays. Aside from fruit cake, one can choose other alternatives like Rum Cake. A rum cake is a type of dessert cake which contains well, rum. Wikipedia says rum cakes are a traditional Christmas dessert, descended from the Christmas pudding introduced by English settlers. Traditionally, dried fruit is soaked in rum for three months, then added to dough prepared with sugar which has been caramelized by boiling in water. The result, also known as “black cake”, is similar to a fruitcake, with a lighter texture. It has been proven possible to become intoxicated from consumption of excessive amount of rum cake, some rum cakes such as Tortuga contain even more than five percent of certain grain alcohols.

Chef Javellana shares this Rhum Cake recipe which you can surely try during the Holidays.

1/2 cup pecans, halved
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons + 1/2 cup canola oil, separated
1 3/4 cup MAYA All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup MAYA Cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vanilla pudding
3/4 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
3/4 cup Myer’s dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
For the rum syrup:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark rum
Special Equipment: One 10-15 cup Bunt pan

1,Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour bunt pan, and drop halved pecans into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

2. In the base of a mixer, cream the 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and the 1/2 cup butter. Add the 3 tablespoons oil, flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt combining until evenly distributed. (Mixture will look like fine crumbs.) Mix in the pudding mix.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, rum, vanilla extract and remaining vegetable oil. Add to the dry mixture and mix well until combined. The batter will be smooth, thin and pour easily.

4. Pour into the prepared bunt pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the cake comes up clean.

5. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes.

6. While the cake cools, prepare the rum syrup: In a large saucepan with high sides, combine the butter, water, granulated sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until the butter completely melts and the sugar dissolves. Let reduce slightly, keeping an eye on it so it doesn’t boil over. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum (it will bubble).

7, Wash and dry the bunt pan, then place over the cool cake and invert the cake back into the pan. Pour the hot rum syrup all over the cake and let soak for 8 hours (overnight). In the morning, invert the cake back onto a serving platter. Keeps covered for 1 week at room temperature.

Wickedly-tasty Halloween recipes

noemi — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:12:02 +0000

Dear readers,

Next to Christmas , Halloween has got to be the most awaited holiday for my growing kids. During those internet-less days, I scrounged around for ideas from magazines just to make Halloween day wickedly fun.

Now here is where one needs to be creative and present a frighteningly Delicious Halloween Spread.

I am sure a lot of moms out there want to think of creative ways to spice up their celebration. Let me share you some wickedly tasty goodies especially created by The Maya Kitchen. Chocolate cupcakes get bright orange icing then topped with melted chocolate webs and hair-raising spiders. Hotdog waffles get dipped in rich chocolate syrup and rolled in chocolate crumbs. Colored sweet gums create impish grins and devil eyes. A round chocolate cake is ringed by fondant-covered ghouls cookies with open mouth shriek and haunting eyes.

Special Mamon (Filipino Yellow Sponge Cake)

noemi — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 03:04:27 +0000

Dear readers,

Ingredients
8 egg yolks
8 egg whites (separate the whites from the yolk in different bowls)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 3/4 cups sifted Cake Flour
1/3 cup melted Butter
1/3 teaspoon Orange Extract
1/4 teaspoon Lemon Extract
1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
3/4 cup sugar

Procedure

1. Beat in a mixer at high speed until thick: 8 egg yolks (at room temperature), 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup water.

2. When you cannot feel the sugar granules from the mixture anymore, at low speed — add 1 tbsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1-3/4 cup sifted cake flour, 1/3 cup melted butter (cooled down), 1/4 tsp. orange extract, and 1/4 tsp. lemon extract.

3. In a separate bowl, beat 8 eggwhites with 1 tsp. of cream of tartar at high speed. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff (about 4 minutes).

4. Fold in the yolk mixture into the whites.

5. Grease 14 big mamon molds or 20 small molds with softened or melted butter on all sides.

Note: I prefer softened butter. This way, I can control how much butter I want to grease the pans with.

6. Pour the mamon mixture into the greased molds, 3/4′s full. Thus, the resulting mamon will be high and soft.

7. Bake mamon at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.

8. When done, brush the mamon with softened butter and roll in a plate of sugar. You can also add grated cheese.

Other Notes:

1. Put extra butter, melted, at the bottom of the molds.

2. When you beat the eggwhites, you can change the direction of your beating BUT let 1 minute elapse before changing the direction of the beating.

3. Do procedure no. 3 first (the egg whites).

Try it. You’ll love the sweet, buttery and soft texture of this Special Mamon.——————

The Smoked salmon brings Eggs Benedict up another notch while the Traditional Beef Pot Pie is an unmistakable comfort food. Now for the dessert, we have Banana Cream Pie with Caramel Fudge which rounds up this simple but special meal for that special man of the house.

3. Bake until golden brown. Cool.

4. Prepare filling. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Cook over double broiler stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

5. Gradually stir half of the mixture into the beaten egg yolk. Put back in saucepan and blend. Cook until mixture coats spoon. Blend in butter and vanilla. Cool.

6, In a bowl, whip half of the cream with powdered sugar until stiff. Chill.

To assemble:

1. Layer half of banana into pie plate – pour the filling.

Pandan Sansrival

noemi — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:18:46 +0000

Dear readers,

Filipinas Magazine, (http://FilipinasMag.com), the magazine I represent, has featured —throughout the past 16 years — many aspiring and seasoned chefs. In 2002, before the book, Kape: A Philippine Coffee Cookbook by Vicky Veloso Barrera and Chit U. Juan (Anvil Publishing), was published, this recipe first came out in Filipinas Magazine. I have yet to try it out — but in the meantime, we need to hunt for this delightful cookbook.

Here is the article.

Ever since I first sampled the lovely pandan sans rival of Batavia, that wonderful Indonesian-style tea house in trendy Malate, I’ve been wanting to recreate it for myself. The pandan flavoring takes away that overly rich and cloying taste sans rival tends to have, and the lovely pale green color of the buttercream makes it an impressive dessert. This is not a recipe for beginning cooks, but it’s well worth every minute of preparation!

In Manila, pandan flavoring is inexpensive and readily available in supermarkets. If you can’t get hold of it where you live, ask someone visiting the Philippines to bring back some for you. In other dishes, cooks here boil aromatic pandan leaves to extract the flavoring. In this dessert, it’s simpler to just use the ready-made extract.

This recipe is part of a collection to be featured in my forthcoming cookbook Kape: A Philippine Coffee Cookbook, which Anvil Publishing Inc. will be bringing out early next year.

Ingredients

For the meringue layers:

5 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups cashew nuts, toasted and chopped

1/2 tsp. vanilla

For the pandan buttercream:

1/2 cup water

2/3 cup sugar

5 egg yolks

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 tsp. pandan extract

green food coloring

2 tbsp. cashew nuts, toasted and chopped, for garnish

Cooking Procedure

Make the meringue layers:

To toast cashews, spread them out on a baking sheet and toast

in a slow oven (200 degrees) until they turn golden, about 20

minutes. Stir the cashews every so often to keep them from

burning.

Separate the eggs while they are still cold, then allow them to come to room temperature. Put the egg whites in a mixing bowl, beat until frothy. Add the 1 cup sugar, one tablespoon at a time and beat until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Fold in the toasted cashew nuts and vanilla.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour four 9″ square or round backing pans, or two large baking sheets. Divide the meringue into four portions and, using a spatula, carefully spread the meringue on the prepared pans. If you are using baking sheets, make two rectangles per pan. Try to make all the rectangles exactly the same size. Bake the meringue for about 25 minutes, or until set and golden brown. Remove the meringues from the oven and let cool. They will finish drying out as they cook and can easily be removed with a metal spatula. It’s all right if some of the pieces break, it won’t be apparent in the finished dessert.

Make the pandan buttercream:

Combine the water and 2/3 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture spins a thread, 230-234 degrees F on a candy thermometer. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, start testing the syrup ten minutes after it starts boiling. Test the syrup by dropping a little bit into a cup of cold water. The best way to understand how syrup “spins a thread” is to see it happen-at the proper stage, the syrup, when dropped into the water will do just that! Remove the saucepan immediately from the heat.

Beat the egg yolks with a wire whisk. Then, using an electric mixer, gradually beat the syrup into the eggs. Continue beating until the mixture becomes thick and pale-colored. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Place the butter in a bowl and beat it with an electric mixer till it becomes light, fluffy and fuller in volume. Beat the chilled egg mixture into the butter and continue until the buttercream is thick and easy to spread. Beat in the pandan flavoring and enough food coloring to tint the buttercream a pale green.

To assemble the sans rival, stack the meringue layers one on top of the other, sandwiching them with the buttercream. Frost the top lightly and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. cashew nuts. Chill until serving time. You can also freeze the sans rival.

Serves 24. Preparation time: 2 1/2 hours, plus chilling. Baking

time: 25 minutes.

Torta Banawa

noemi — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:47:49 +0000

Dear readers,

2 cups cake flour, sifted
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
3 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup corn oil
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp. aniseeds
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup sugar

1. Sift together the flours, baking powder, and salt.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs (whole eggs and egg yolks) until lemon-colored. Add the sugar gradually and continue beating until smooth and fluffy.

3. Blend in dry ingredients alternately with milk (start and end with the dry ingredients). Fold in gently corn oil, melted butter and aniseeds.

4. Pour into paper-lined torta tins.

5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Remove from oven and brush tops with the slightly beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese and sugar. Return to the oven and bake just enough to dry the topping.

Note: Whole milk was not readily available in the 1960′s to the 1980′s. Thus, we used evaporated milk. We would dilute the evaporated milk in a 1:1 ratio or less. So, if a recipe called for 1 cup milk, we would use 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup water. For a lighter milk texture, we would use 1/2 cup milk and 1-1/2 cups water. You would have to experiment to see what proportions work for your recipe.

If you think I should win as “The One” in Globe’s Tatt Awards, then please vote online for me and consider Blog Watch (as The Advocate)…via this link http://tattoo.globe.com.ph/tattawards/vote.Sorry for the minimal posting these days. My house got flooded by Ondoy last week and it’s only this week that we are back to normal operations at home. (see Ondoy damage to our house.) We are all safe. Damage was minimal in the first floor. Our oven got busted but the refrigerator is in working condition. In the meantime, let me share recipes tested in our Sally’s Bake Shop. Our family bake shop, Sally’s Home Bake Shop, had always been the home of the company’s White King Test Kitchen’s nutritionists in the 1970′s during their visits to Cebu. I was a teenager then when they would test in our kitchen and I was always around to assist them.

If you have kids who don’t like to eat their vegetables, introducing chayote (which is a type of squash) as a dessert item without telling them what it is might dispel their misgivings about becoming vegetarians.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 medium chayote, peeled and sliced thinly

1 tbsp lemon or calamansi juice

4 tbsps powdered milk (or 1/4 cup)

5. Drain the cooked chayote, reserving syrup.

6. Dilute powdered milk in chayote juice and add enough water to make 1 cup. Set aside.

7. Pre-heat i oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

9. Add oil, half of the mild solution, and vanilla. Mix until well-blended.
10. Add remaining milk and egg yolks. Beat one minute.

11. Beat egg whites until fluffy. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar gradually. Continuing beating until stiff.

12. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into prepared pan. Top with cooked chayote.

13. Bake for 35 minutes or until done.

14. Cool on racks.

15. Frost with fluffy white frosting. (See below)

How to Prepare White Frosting

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/3 cup water
* 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 2 egg whites
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost the cake of your choice.
