Kek Marble Cheese @ Marble Cheese Cake

Got the recipe from my cousin too. Tried to make it marble, but didn't turn out well. Hahaha. The other cousin said, it was supposed to be like the one that I baked, but I thought mine was not marble enough. The spreading of the cheese was not equal to all sides. The most common way to bake this cake is to separate it into two parts: The base would be the chocolate, the top part would be the cheese. The previous cake didn't use any flours, but for this cake you have to. This is also a steamed cake.

Marble Cheese Cake (Use 10 x 10 baking tin/pan)

Ingredients
 
For the base:
560g butter (unsalted)
100g cocoa powder (I put a little extra of 20g, but 100g supposedly to be ok just nice)
500g fine sugar (I cut off a little bit 470g is ok. 500g is just fine.)
6 eggs (Regular size coz my cousin helped me to buy)
350g tepung Hong Kong or they called it Water Lily Flour (That was what the Google told me.)
A teaspoon of ovalette

Method of preparing:
1. Beat (using electronic mixer) butter and sugar together till it gets creamy. (not to fluffy). You have to agak-agak. As long as the butter and sugar mixed well and gets a little creamy, it's ok.

2. Then add on eggs one by one, Water Lily flour and cocoa powder. Mixed them well using electronic mixer too. Add ovalette too so that the base won't be dried.

3. Pour into the baking tin. Do not forget to grease the tin using butter.

As for me, I greased mine with butter and put the baking paper to avoid the mixture from sticking to the tin. Top the tin with aluminium foil. Steamed for 1hour and a half. Do not steamed till it get fully cook. Just enough that when you pour the cheese on top, the cheese will not sink down. Unless you want to try to create the marble like mine, I steamed the base for about an hour. But the problem was the cheese sinked more to the middle of the base because the base was not that cook enough to support the cheese.

For the top:
1kg of cream cheese (I used Anchor cream cheese. Do not 100% defrost the cheese. Let it be a little sticky when you beat it later on)
255g of fine sugar (If you don't want it to taste sweet, reduce the sugar. I reduced mine to 245g)
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavor
50g of corn flour
2 eggs
4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (Enough with 4 tablespoons. If you add more, the cheese will lose its taste)

Method of preparing:
1. Beat cream cheese and fine sugar till it gets creamy.

2. Add on eggs one by one, vanilla flavor, corn flour, and sweetened condensed milk, till everything is well mixed.

3. Remove the baking tin from the steamer, then you pour this cheese mixture on top of the cocoa base. Top off the the baking tin with aluminium foil. Put back into the steamer and steam for about three hours. Do not exceed the time when you steamed it. We don't want the cheese part (the top part) to overcooked as it will be easily cracked.

Marble Cheese Cake: The End Result

I told you, it didn't look marble. Huahuahuahua. The cheese mixture sinked more to the middle part as when I poured the mixture, the base was not cook enough to support the upper part.

Can you spot the Marble Cheese Cake here? The one in this photo was made by my cousin. Most of Marble Cheese Cake here in Kuching looks like that. Easier to make and it looks presentable, rather than trying to create the marble look and turns out not so marble. Hehehe

The green cake is called Kek Lumut. Lumut means moss. Its called Kek Lumut because of the color looks like moss.

The one with red-cream-green color add on choc chips is Watermelon layered cake or known as Kek Lapis Tembikai. Seriously, it tastes just like watermelon.

The one with orange-cream color is Orange layered cake or known as Kek Lapis Oren. And, yup, it tastes like orange. Hehehehe

The one with yellowish-cream-choc color is India layered cake or glamorously known as Kek Lapis India. It used coconut grated, Cadbury chocs and many other ingredients. I can't remember.
