Kek Lumut

After almost a year, taking a break from baking anything, last weekend I finally bake something. I really miss baking because I found joy and happiness in doing it, especially when you see your cake disappear in a split second into some else's stomach. I hardly get a lot of free time nowadays with lille mand around but I think I could steal a few hrs to whip up something while he is sleeping. 

This time I thought I wanted to try something very simple. I have been wanting to do it for quite a while especially when I was in Denmark but unfortunately I could not find any Horlick! Nestum pun susah nak carik. I been to every supermarket possible near my place and yet I still could not find Horlick. So, now I am back in Malaysia, apa lagi buat la kek yg ingredient mmg susah nak carik kat saner. So..I was thinking Kek Lumut. I have been hearing friends and relative baking this cake. I never bake it nor have I eaten it. I only see it on someone else's picture. When I saw the recipe..I was thinking..this is a piece of cake. Hahaha...so, apa lagi..while the little man sleeping..I took all that I need and tadaaa...Kek Lumut. 

Lumut mean moss. Therefore, explained the name as you can see from the picture..It is green in colour. Since I do not have a steamer, I have to improvise by baking it inside an oven. What I always do is that I place a tray underneath the steel rack then fill it up with water. Cover the cake tray to retain the moist from the water, which evaporate inside the oven. So, you still can get like 90% similar texture with the one you steam in a steamer.

Do I like it?? Not bad. I don't think I need to put the recipe here as I believe almost everyone know how to do this. If not..can always fine kat google. Hehehe...

OK..next project...another local delicacies. Tungguu...
