Gambang Bread 2

It’s Indonesian traditional quick bread. Yes it is, and my hubby loves it so much. Got the recipe from Femina-Online, it’s veeeeery easy to make, and so much better than the ones we bought from the bread-man.

Perfect with a cup of hot plain tea.

Blueberry Crumble Cake

Update 10/8/06 Recipe in English is now available…

 
Blueberry Crumble Cake
 
I bought this book the other day, titled Cake Putih Telur or Egg Whites Cakes by Yeni Ismayani and Cucu Cahyana. Not bad, although it didn’t make me fall in love either. It basically tells you how to turn yourleftover egg whites into delicious cakes.

Hm..

Almost never had i found a really good egg whites cake. I tried egg whites chocolate cake once or twice before. They’re alright, but I wanted wow, I can’t believe it’s yolk-free. So I think it was that challenge that made me grab this book in the first place. I mean, come on. Egg whites cake sucks :) I wanted to see how other people make something out of it and called it delicious.

I have to admit, though. I have only tried one recipe from that book. It was this Blueberry Crumble Cake. Simply because I wanted to use up my Blueberry Paletta, and I love crumbs. Who doesn’t.

Was the cake good? Interesting question.

Because I came up with 2 different answers, after eating it at 3 different times. Isn’t it weird?
