Cooking 101: Homemade Butter Cheese and Almond Cake

DSC_1745

Cooking 101 is back! My wife and I baked our own Butter Cheese and Almond Cake. Its a very simple cake to bake. Below are the list of ingredients you will need. Do take note though, we didn't use any measurement tools so I have no idea how many grams of sugar/flour and etc is used. LOL. So it's all based on 'agak-agak'.


Ingredients:
    1. Sugar
    2. Flour. The amount is what you see in the picture above. Est: 300grams?
    3. Eggs. We used 4.
    4. Cheese
    5. Almonds
    6. Butter (250g but we're only using about half)

  1. Looks yummy.

    let me try to translate the measurements for you. The yogurt cup is 135gm so it should be 2/3 cup. Half that block of butter is 125gm (1 block is 250gm). 300gm flour should be about 1 1/3 cups flour.

    I prefer cup measurements rather than take the scale so the recipe should be roughly :
    2/3 cup Sugar
    1 1/4 cup superfine Flour
    4 Eggs
    2/3 grated Cheese
    2/3 sliced Almonds
    125gm Butter (or half a block of 250gm)

    Think i'll try this once i got almonds and proper cheese. perhaps Cheddar.
