Pumpkin Honey Comb Cake (Banh Bo Pumpkin Nuong)

 

 

It’s pumpkin season and I love anything pumpkin, so I thought I experiment and make the Vietnamese honey comb cake (banh bo nuong) with pumpkin flavor.  Amazingly it turned out quite tasty and made my house smell wonderful the smell of fall.

 

Ingredients

 

1 1/4 cups of tapioca flour

4 oz (1/2 cup) of coconut milk

1 bag of Alsa Brand single acting baking powder

6 large eggs

1 cup of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of coffee mocha extract

 

Baking Instructions

 

Turn on the oven and preheat to 350F.

 

Combine the flour and baking powder together and set aside.

 

In a large bowl, lightly mix the eggs and the sugar with a fork.  Remember to mix just enough to homogenize the whites and yolks.  DO NOT over mix, it may cause the cake to be flat.  

 

Once the eggs and sugar are mixed, stir in the tapioca flour mixture, coconut milk and coffee mocha extract.  Mix well.

 

Brush oil on the baking pan and put it in the oven on the 2nd lowest rack to heat up. The baking pan should be in the oven for about 5 minutes.

 

Use a basket to strain the mixture into another bowl.  Then use a strainer to strain the mixture into yet another bowl.   Straining the mixture a second time optional, just once should be sufficient, but I like to do it twice.

 

 

Pour the mixture into the hot baking pan from the oven.  You should hear the sizzling sound.  

 

 

 

Bake it for about 10 minutes at 350F. Then reduce the heat to 300F and bake for an additional 30 minutes.  If your oven is not a convection oven, bake it for a little bit longer. To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick and it should come out clean.

 

Once the cake is done, turn the oven off but leave the cake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes, before removing from the oven.

 

Once you remove the cake from the oven, let it cool down before cutting and removing from baking pan.

 

 

 

TIP:  This is a great dessert to bring to a house party/dinner with friends and family.  You can also bake in aluminum foil pan or put on a nice plate as a gift to the party host.

 

 

 

Chesse Quesadillas

 

 

It does not get any easier than 2 ingredients to make a quick meal/snack for the family.  I make this for my family for as a quick breakfast or snack for after school.  So simple, yet super tasty for the family.

 

Ingredients

 

 

Pack of corn tortillas

Some sliced cheese (any kind you like, my family like cheddar, pepper jack or monterey jack)

 

Cooking Instructions

Create the quesadillas – corn tortilla, cheese and top with another corn tortilla.

 

Put in microwave for 20 seconds (you do not need to worry about turning the quesadilla over in the microwave).  By microwaving the quesadilla first, it will ensure the cheese melts evenly.

Heat pan on stove top on high, no need for oil.  Once the quesadilla is done from the microwave, heat the quesadilla in the pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

 

Once both sides are toasted in the pan, remove, cut, plate and serve.  If you like spicy, serve with hot sauce.

 

 

 

 

TIP:  This recipe is also great with flour tortillas.
