OOH I JUST LOVE STRAWBERRY SHORT-CAKES! Here's a great recipe I browsed through whilst surfing in search for the ultimate bake.

From the courtesy of Allrecipes.com




INGREDIENTS

* 3 pints fresh strawberries
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 4 teaspoons baking powder
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup shortening
* 1 egg
* 2/3 cup milk
* 2 cups whipped heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Slice the strawberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of white sugar. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
3. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
4. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool partially in pan on wire rack.
5. Slice partially cooled cake in half, making two layers. Place half of the strawberries on one layer and top with the other layer. Top with remaining strawberries and cover with the whipped cream.

Chewy Junior v.s Donuts? Today's baking take-away

Have you guys ever tried the Chewy Junior Pastry from Tanjong Pagar?



Heh. It has this really unique feel towards it. It's veryyy smooth, it's actually a toasted marshmallow mixed with some sort of flour with edible toppings. I tried the apple one - it looked quite attractive and appealing to my eyes however they failed to impress!



I feel so strongly that the guys from Chewy Junior basically tried to re-conceptualize and steal Vinco Donuts' idea by making a similar product with a totally different texture. However, donuts still reign I guess. They're round and pack more punch when you munch over them as they leave your taste buds begging for more!

..Til then, I will keep you updated on crazy bakes and such. I will attempt my own recipes and share it with you soon.

Real soon!
