Oreo Chiffon Cake


 
Ingredients
6 egg whites
60g caster sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
80g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
14 pcs oreo biscuits (removed cream, lightly crushed into small pieces)
6 egg yolks
30g caster sugar
50g extra light olive oil/canola oil
80ml milk
 
Method
1. Preheat oven to 160C.
 
2. Use a large clean mixing bowl, without any trace of oil or water, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until bubbles form. Add the cream of tartar. After mixing well, add the 60 grams of sugar in three batches, about one-third at a time, and beat well between additions. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. (I just poured in the sugar and cream of tartar together)
 
3. Sift the cake flour and baking powder, mix well.
 
4. Whisk the egg yolks with the 30 grams of caster sugar, until the sugar completely dissolves. Stir in the oil, bit by bit, until completely combined. Add the milk and stir well.
5. Sift the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture, in three batches. Combine well.
 
6. Fold-in the beaten egg whites with a spatula and gently combined well. Add in oreo biscuits crumbs.
 
7. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. After baking the first 15 minutes, if you find the cake surface gets browning, reduce heat to 150C. Continue to bake until cooked through. A needle comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
 
8. Remove the cake from the oven. Invert the pan immediately on a wire rack. Let it cool completely.

Mini No-Baked Cheese Cake




Recipe:-
The base
200g McVities Digestive Biscuits (8-9pcs)
80g Unsalted butter
50g Icing sugar

1. Crush all the biscuits till it become almost like sand texture (crumbs) and mix it with the icing sugar.
2. Melt the butter. Pour the butter into a mixing bowl together with biscuits crumbs. Mix it well. (add more butter if the mixtures are too dry)
3. Compress it evenly on the base of the cupcake mould. Put in the fridge for at least 1hour or till it is hardened.
4. Make some small holes all over the base using a fork (this is to ensure the cheese sticks to the base).

The Cheese content
500g cream cheese (I used Philadelphia brand
1 cup of fresh yogurt (your desired flavor)
150g (or 1/3 of a small tin) of sweetened condensed milk
8 teaspoon of gelatin powder, with 200ml water

**using a small size cupcake mould (5cm diameter), made about 50 mini cheesecakes

Methods
1. Let the cheese cool down to room temperature. 

2. Pour the water into a small pot and heat up under low heat. Then, pour the gelatin powder into the pot and stir it thoroughly until melted. The end product is a very thick and sticky gelatin mixture. Set aside for use. 
***if you are using only 50% of the ingredients, then put 4 tsp of gelatin powder with 100ml water***

 
3. Using an electric hand mixer, blend the cheese well to make it soft.


4. Next pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix it well. Then pour the yoghurt in as well. Blend it well and thoroughly.

5. Quickly pour this gelatin mixture into the earlier cheese content and then mix it well.

6. Finally, pour the final cheese content into the earlier prepared cupcake mould. Decorate as desired.

7. The cheese cake should remain in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before consuming. Enjoy!
