Classic Marble Cake

This is my mother in law's recipe. My hubby loves it very much. So when I was in Indonesia. I asked her to teach me how to make it. Usually I will use melted margarine that is poured into the batter after eggs and sugar are beaten, but this classic recipe use margarine in room temperature directly mix and beat with the sugar and eggs.

The result is denser than usual cake , but still smooth and delicious.

Ingredients:

400 gram Margarine ( I use Blue Band brand)

400 gram sugar

8 egg yolks

6 egg whites

350 gram shifted flour + 50 gram powder milk ( I change it to 3 tbsp of condensed milk).

Directions:

Heat the oven 180 C/350 F

Beat Margarine, sugar and the egg until smooth and raised (use hand mixer about 15 minutes)

Add the flour, fold into the batter.

Pour the batter to baking pan that's been greased and floured.

Bake for about 50-55 minutes

Brudel Mama Diana

It was a great time to be in my home city, Bandung Indonesia.

I've been there for 28 days, and it went so fast.

Now, I'm in USA again, going back to my duty.

When I was in Bandung, my mom made Manadonesse food, BRUDEL.

The smell of yeast is like bread, but the texture is between cake and bread.

If we say it is cake, it is too dense. But if we say it is bread, it is too smooth :)

Anyway, it tasted so good. Especially, this Brudel was made by my mom with love.

I asked her the recipe for posting it to my blog as my reference.
