Kek Lapis Mud Oreo (Layered Oreo Mud Cake)

My second cake for Idh this year.... I wanted something dark and rich in taste and imagined Oreo cake.... Modified my standard recipe and it turned out beautiful but I feel it is not sweet enough... my hubby said is good as he is not a sweet tooth like me. I will modify the recipe slightly different next time to improve it.

The internet is slow... I need to get ready to work soon... I will update the English version later. Updating the BM version first due to so many request.

Fresh from oven.... not yet sliced

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Dah terbayang lama nak buat Kek Lapis Oreo yang hitam menawan..... Along ubahsuai resipi yg Along selalu buat tapi rasa nya kurang manis pada lidah Along lah walau pun hubby kata ok. Pada makcik2 & pakcik2 yg suka bitter sweet taste, kek ni sesuai sebab kurang manis gitew.  Kek ni lembut dan lembab, harum dgn macam2 bahan2 nya.

Kek ni rupa nya seperti Kek Idola, kek yg amat popular di Sarawak tapi beda nya Along guna biskut Oreo. Kalau nak tengok Kek Idola (Along beri nama Mud Cake sbb tekstur nya yg lembab & kaya dgn rasa coklat), Along ada post kat sini dulu.

Pengat Pisang (Banana Sweet Dessert)

 This is my late father's favourite.... my mother cooked this dessert almost everyday for Iftar when he was alive... I love this dessert too but may not want it everyday as it is quite sweet. The way my mother cook the sweet gravy makes it taste like butterscotch sauce.... I love the aroma of the golden syrup mixed with thick creamy coconut milk.... truely authentic! My mother knows I love this dessert and she cooked it everytime I return home during holidays.

The bananas that I used in this dessert are not too sweet and slightly sourish, making it perfect combination with the sweet creamy gravy.

Dah lama tak makan pengat pisang.... teringin pula nak makan sebab teringat kat arwah abah yang gemar sangat makan ni.... Emak masak Pengat Pisang hampir setiap hari untuk abah sewaktu beliau masih ada dulu... Along pun suk juga makan ni & emak akan masakkan untuk Along setiap kali Along balik bercuti. Walau pun Along dah berumur dan pandai buat sendiri.... air tangan ibu tetap paling istimewa di hati....

Pengat Emak amat istimewa.... campuran gula hangus & santan membuatkan kuah pengat ni amat harum dan lazat sekali.... semangkuk pun Along boleh habiskan seorang walaupun hubby kata pengat ni manis... Kalau tak manis, buka pengat lah nama nya kan. Along guna pisang Abu yg masak ranum, pisang ni manis dan masam2 sikit... amat sesuai imbangkan kuah pengat yg manis tu.

Pulut Serimuka

 I made this last month but had very limited time to update the blog. In fact I still have a handful of delayed entries which I'm slowly updating when I can find time and energy to do so. This kuih is good for breakfast although I prefer to have it for afternoon tea. I made mine moderately sweet and the plain glutinous rice layer will complement it well. I'm always successful making this but this time my top layers smudge into the glutinous rice layer slightly and I guess because I didn't press it firm enough.... Anyway it still looks good except not photogenic....LOL!
