Ladies Outing 30/03/08 Kek Pandan

30 March, 2008, my first experience of going to the ladies outing of MML, all for a good reason, the want to bake my favourite cake, "sponge cake" , on my own ;D
With having Kak Ina as the chef and the 'Guru', I took pictures of every single action she made, too many that I might have annoyed the other 'students' (lol). Anyway, I've now baked 2 sponge cakes by myself, one was helped a bit from my mum on a Saturday evening, and the other one where I baked it all by myself, tasted even better I think (lol).
However, it wasn't as fluffy as kak Ina's as I didn't have cream of tartar, which I replaced with Baking powder instead. The recipe??

Sponge Cake Recipe...

Part A ingredient
6 egg white
3 7/8 Oz (110g) of caster sugar
1 table spoonful of cream of tartar

Part B ingredient
6 egg yolk
3 7/8 Oz (110g) of caster sugar
8 table spoonful cooking/ vegetable oil
8 table spoonful coconut milk
5 Oz (144g) self-raising flour
The amount of flavouring desired with an amount of colouring to suit the taste with

The mixing part...

Part A
1. Stir the egg white in a mixing bowl
2. Add the caster sugar needed little by little
3. Add the cream of tartar as the mixture of egg whites and the caster sugar seem
smooth and stirred well. (This is after about 15 minutes of stirring)
4. When the mixture looks fluidly thick, put it in a another bowl

Part B
1. Start with stirring the egg yolks.
2. Followed with adding the caster sugar, little by little
3. Add self-raising flour after the mixture looks smooth and stirred well.
(This is after about 2-3 minutes of stirring)
4. Add the amount of coconut milk needed spoon after spoon.
5. Followed by the amount of oil needed, spoon after spoon.
6. Lastly, add the amount of flavouring and colouring desired.

Finally...
1. Mix both part A and part B in a mixing bowl, and stir them well.
2. After mixing them well, put them in a baking tray that's layered with a baking paper.
3. Put it in the oven with the temperature of 160o, with the gas marked 4
for 55 minutes.

And when that's done, you're ready for your treat =D
You can choose whether to let it cool first or eat it ASAP, as it doesn't really make that much difference (to me that is), however, to be frankly honest, I prefer to let it cool first (doesn't burn my tongue XD)

More or less, the temperature of the oven and the time for it to bake cannot be less or more.

Lastly, Good luck!! =D
