Xin and I tried to bake it on our own last weekend. Here is the recipe :
Cake :
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
56g butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg + 1 egg white
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp rose essence
2 tbsp lychee syrup (from canned lychee)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp pink coloring (optional)
Method :
1) Cream butter and sugar
2) Add egg and egg white, vanilla essence, rose essence and pink coloring (if using)
3) Beat in lychee syrup
4) Add sifted flour, alternate with milk
5) Pour batter into 2 x 6 inch baking pan
6) Bake in pre heated oven at 175 deg C for 20 minutes
Cream cheese :
125g cream cheese
1 tbsp icing sugar
7-10 lychee (from canned lychee)
1) Whip cream cheese with sugar
2) Beat in chopped lychee
3) Frost cake with the cream cheese + lychee
The rose aroma filled the kitchen as the cake was baking. It is delightfully moist and not sweet. May I add that this recipe uses less sugar than usual as we do not have sweet tooth.
Do give it a try and happy baking!
