  • Why We Love Margaret's Sugee Cake…
    Sugee Cake is typically a favourite in the Eurasian Community. Made for Christmas, Weddings, Anniversaries, Baptism, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Birthdays etc, basically a “must have” at every special occasion.
    To be able to bake a Perfect Sugee Cake, you'll need not just a great recipe, a precised one too. The cake has to be rich, moist, buttery, grainy with a touch of crisp all around...overall superb in taste & texture.
    I grew up where the Eurasian community acknowledged just a select few bakers who have earned the title of "An Elite Sugee Cake Baker" - regulars baking especially for huge weddings, my mum being one of them...and these bakers never revealed their recipes, an heirloom kept like a vaulted secret, my mum no different. Understandable too.
    But times have changed where many have caught the home-baking bug and Sugee cake is a popular recipe many are keen to learn & bake for their family & friends and even sell.
    As my mum & I are all about encouraging home cooking & home baking and helping anyone keen perfecting the recipes we love, there have been numerous requests to share her personal Sugee Cake recipe.
    Though the recipe basically calls for sugee/semolina flour, flour, butter, eggs, sugar etc., the "Elite Bakers" have their individual preferences. Using selected ingredients of the highest quality to very specific time consuming methods.
    From the sugee itself, some would roast it, some would soak & keep overnight, then there's the butter, it has to be at the right temperature, some use only egg yolks, some with a few egg whites, then there’s the level of fluffiness in the batter/creaming method, the folding method has to be done well, some with added whisked egg whites towards the end, some no whisked egg whites….😮‍💨😅
    While the traditional Eurasian Sugee Cake recipe calls for almonds, we don’t like the smell of almonds and have a preference for the texture and taste of cashews, so, for the past 55 years…one secret is out..my mum only uses cashews.
    As my mum is still selling her super delicious Sugee Cake and she’ll probably abandon me if I shared her heirloom recipe 😜, I'm sharing an adapted version of her recipe, an uncomplicated one. A recipe so easy with ingredients easily available in any cake shop, a no hassle step by step method and guide...your cake will be ready in less than 90 mins, you'll just L O V E it!
    To my mum, for your patience & guiding me with this adapted recipe to perfection …A BIG THANK YOU!
    I did it while balancing a camera in my left hand just so you guys could see every step/method to get it right. So if you follow the exact recipe & exact method with every tip, you'll bake the Perfect Sugee Cake for all your special occasions!
    Margaret's Eurasian Sugee Cake Recipe
    Ingredients
    50g plain flour, sifted
    130g cashew nuts, finely chopped/rough blend (mix it with the plain flour, set aside)
    120g sugee/semolina flour
    250g butter, @ room temperature
    180g fine/caster sugar
    6 egg yolks (Grade A, no whites)
    1/4 cup evaporated milk
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    1 tsp brandy (none for Halal)
    Method
    Please follow all measurements of ingredients/method/timing precisely as per visual
    Important tips:
    Ingredients
    For this video, I used probably the cheapest ingredients to make it as affordable, yet it tasted so good! You can use any brand of any ingredient, even the brandy…any brand depending on your preference and budget.
    Cake tin size
    Use the exact size cake tin ie: 7 inch square…not aluminium foil/tray. Do not split the batter into smaller tins unless you’re a baker & know how to adjust the temperature when baking with smaller tins
    Oven
    As some ovens bake cakes differently depending on the oven size/brand/type…you might need to first do it through trial & error, learn/test/monitor in due process
    Do not open the oven door at all during the baking process, only when its due for the skewer test.
    Cutting of the cake
    Once baked, you need to let it rest/cool down first
    As different room settings have varied temperature, it takes different time to cool
    Let it rest for at least 3 hours to be safer.
    Do not cut if the cake is not completely cooled.
    And always use a VERY sharp knife to cut.
    How long can the cake last?
    We always eat Sugee Cake within a few days but you can also keep any balance refrigerated in an airtight container/tupperware, tried and tested…it was good for more than 2 months!
    The brandy adds to the flavour/depth, also as a preservative ingredient. If you’re not adding brandy, I’d suggest to consume it faster
    My final words
    If you’re keen to try this adapted recipe, there are NO changes to it. If I can bake it perfectly each time (and I’m not a baker), you will be able to bake it too!
    Good luck guys & Happy baking!! 💕

    • @TheRecipeAgentDdS

    • @TheRecipeAgentDdS
      @TheRecipeAgentDdS  2 роки тому +2

      Awww...you're welcome. For the extra crisp, you'll need to bake just a few minutes longer but again, it depends on your oven and you don't want to over bake which will reduce the moisture in the cake. What I usually do is ....after the 50 mins baking time required, I would switch from top and bottom to top only & bake between 3-5 mins, watching it closely. And once I see the surface turning dark as what I like, I'll remove immediately from it the oven to a cooling rack.
      My advise to you is to do a trial run first before your parents birthday... and if the extra timing turns out with a perfect crisp, note it down & do it exactly for the birthday cake. Trial and error helps :]. Good luck Kenneth!

    Hi dear just tried out the cake. My son loved it. Can I add 60gm plain flour instead of 50gm. Cos the cake is very soft.

    • @TheRecipeAgentDdS
      @TheRecipeAgentDdS  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, I would say…follow the recipe 😉 though ingredients must be precised, methods are equally important for the texture to be perfect. Eg: mixing too long will also effect the texture. As my mum would say, trial & error is part of the process. If the taste is delicious, the recipe is a good one. But if your cake turned out soft, try again till you get it right. Good luck 😊

      Yes, Grade A are big ones especially used for baking. You could counter check at your grocer/cake shop as you don’t want to get the wrong size.
      Keep to the evaporated milk because with fresh milk, it will not taste as delicious.

      If you’re planning to eat it over a few days, yes, you can keep it in an airtight container/Tupperware in the fridge. Take it out to get it to room temperature before you eat. Though it can probably last about 10 days doing this ..in/out the fridge, it won’t be as fresh/delightful as Sugee Cake is generally best eaten within a few days or max in a week
