Black Peach Cake with Pie Crust Bottom

A little bit bored with apples, i turned to peach. This one had 'black peach' label on the box. A bit confusing. Black but peach. Hehehe. Nevermind. Here goes the recipe.

For the crust:
150 gram or 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
150 gram or 1 cup all purpose flour

Cut cold butter into cubes then toss right away into flour. Using hands, roughly mix together butter and flour to make rough crumbles. Press into the bottom of your baking pan. Press evenly then put in the fridge.

For the cake:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup full cream milk at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder. I used double acting baking powder.
1 to 2 tsp vanilla essence

3 blackpeaches, thin sliced

Sliced almond and confectioner sugar for finishing.

Bake pie crust in 170 degree celcius oven for about 15 minute.
Meanwhile, using a low speed mixer, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg, mix evenly. Pour milk into the batter and mix until well combined. Pour in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla essence and mix for about one minute. Continue with folding technique, about 50 folds.

Take pie crust out from the oven, spread peach on top of it then cover with cake batter. Sprinkle the top with sliced almond.
Bake in 170 degree celcius oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick can come out clean.
Serve warm with sugar sprinkle over the top.

Apple-filled Baked Crepes (Egg batter cake)

Today my daughter did not want to eat anything, so i had to make something to fill her energy up. I needed to make sure that she had enough proteins and carbs whenever she refused to eat proper fibre-carbs-protein balanced diet, that's why homemade dessert containing eggs had always been my favorite.

This recipe was basically a thick crepe-like cake. I wanted to make it really moist and soft so my daughter could hold it as finger food. A normal 1-2-3-4 or pound cake usually ended up crumbling in her hand (she would play with it rather than eat it) and a chiffon type cake would spend too much time.

Here is the recipe.
For a 18x18cm baking pan.

2 eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar (i reduced it to 1/4 cup to meet my daughter's need)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 sweet apples, thin sliced
A pinch of salt
A dash of cinnamon if you like
Butter to coat the pan

Mix together all of the ingredients until smooth and no lumps. Put apples in and coat evenly. Pour into butter coated pan.
Bake in preheated oven at 160 degree celcius for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick come out clean.

Easy? Of course! You can also enjoy the crepes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and add your favorite berries on top.
Smakelijk!
