Chiffon Cake #19: Chocolate & Pandan 双色巧克力斑兰戚风蛋糕

Hihi, here's another chiffon cake that I bake recently. Sorry I have to skip my chiffon cakes series from #13 to #19 first because I want to support the Pandan theme hosted by Joceline that is going to end this month. :)

Chiffon Cake #19: Chocolate & Pandan 双色巧克力斑兰戚风蛋糕

4 egg yolks
16g sugar
40g vegetable oil

Mix the above and divide batter into 2 portions.

22g cake flour
10g cocoa powder

Traditional Baked Mooncakes 传统烘皮月饼

People say, the younger generation prefers snowskin mooncakes while the older generation prefers baked mooncakes. And as you grow older, you tend to switch your preference from snowskin to baked mooncakes. I still like both, so I'm somewhere in the middle, hehe!

This year I decide to try making baked mooncakes. I didn't really go and look for recipes this time. After looking at all the delicious mooncakes posted by Ann, Ann recommend me her traditional mooncake recipe and I just settle on this.

Got all my mooncake ingredients from Kwong Cheong Thye. You got to make a trip there if you haven't. They have so many different types of mooncake pastes that you will take a long time to decide. They have samples for you to try and you can buy the paste in packets of 500g. I also got all the other ingredients here.

I did a small batch first. A bit nervous before sending the mooncakes into the oven.

Luckily my first batch turned out looking good! Except for a few errors here and there, like not wrapping the dough evenly, flouring too much and didn't brush the egg yolk well. The hello kitty one cracked, there was no filling inside as I used the leftover dough.

I did a short 15 seconds instagram video during the process. A bit too fast, haha! The video sequence also got messed up by IG, so sad. :(
