Just need 40 minutes and the cake is right in the oven!<BR/>BTW, the cake sank in the center, and I was expecting the crack as you mentioned, but it turn our perfectly fine. No crack at all.. huh, not sure what I have done wrong. I bake two, one on Thurs, and one on Fri. Both turn out the same. Sank in the centre and no crack. It's really wonderful to go with vanilla ice cream and mint leaf!!

I'm going to make this cake for my nephew who is allergic to wheat (with the joy of cooking recipe). <BR/>Also, to other's comment - i believe rice flour is simply ground up rice. A coffee or spice grinder works well for this. But you have to add other things to make a cake rise, you might look under 'Gluten-free' recipes on google :)Kittihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956227581715627170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-9511522252000706162007-11-02T19:40:00.000+08:002007-11-02T19:40:00.000+08:00Thanks, will try her recipe next time.Thanks, will try her recipe next time.JYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378126906859226937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-4518172961747334752007-11-02T15:14:00.000+08:002007-11-02T15:14:00.000+08:00Hi JY, I have searched the internet and couldnt re...Hi JY, I have searched the internet and couldnt really get any info except this one in joyofbaking (http://joyofbaking.com/ChocolateTorte.html).

The buns became dense and a little hard left over night. What I did was to use a sweet bun recipe from a cookbook and added in 5g of green tea powder (for baking) to make the dough. I wasn't sure whether it was the problem with the green tea powder or the red bean paste that made the texture of the buns became hard. hope you understand why I am not posting the recipe.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-60748326935561474832007-08-13T03:59:00.000+08:002007-08-13T03:59:00.000+08:00Hi there!

You have got more experience in beating egg whites than me! You can get dark chocolates from baking supply stores...they are basically chocolates meant for baking, and are made with higher cocoa butter content. Dark chocolates are either semi-sweet or bittersweet. It will not taste as good if you use normal chocolate bars. There was a change in plan, didn't manage to try the pastry cake :(Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-53466186833263985582007-08-09T21:52:00.000+08:002007-08-09T21:52:00.000+08:00I also prefer cakes that are not too sweet.
