Cake Layer Danish


What I did the past few days.....

Friday : Went dating with my little handsome boyfriend named Syahmi. We watched Harry Potter.
Saturday : Went back to Malacca for a day trip, just to visit hubby's cousin who just had an operation. On the way to Malacca, Syahmi fell ill. Took him to the family doctor and was diagnosed with virus infection.
Sunday : Went to hubby's relative's daughter's wedding at Denai Alam. Went to visit my princess at her hostel.
Monday :....about to find out.... hahaha.....

Recipe to share will be this Cake Layer Danish which happens to be my mother's favourite. Unfortunately, when I tried out this recipe, she was not around. She went back to Malacca with Mak Chu and Pak Chu. No worries mom, will bake this again when you're around.


CAKE LAYER DANISH
Source : DIY Home Bread by Chef Khoo See Yew

Ingredients for CAKE :

2 nos eggs
50g castor sugar
5g ovallette

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon pandan essence
30g melted butter

Method :

1. Whisk A till fluffy. Add in B. Continue whisking till light and fluffy.
2. Add in water and melted butter.
3. Pour onto (11" x 11") greased baking tray (or lined with greaseproof paper).
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 for 15 minutes.


Ingredients for PASTRY

*175g high protein flour
*75g medium protein flour
7.5g milk powder
1/4 teaspoon bread improver
30g sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
25g egg
100g cold water

Method (using bread maker):

1. Pour the cold water into the Bread Maker pan.
2. Add the flour, milk powder, bread improver, sugar, salt, egg and instant yeast.
3. Set the setting to BASIC DOUGH and let the BM does it's job. After 5 minutes or after the ingredients are well incorporated, add in butter and continue kneading until a soft and smooth dough is formed. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
4. Roll the dough flat, about 1 cm into rectangle shape. Spread 1 portion of pastry margarine onto 2/3 of the pastry, leaving a border.
5. Fold the bottom third of the pastry over the middle third and the top third over that.
6. Chill the pastry for 30 minutes and repeat steps 4 and 5 twice.
