Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake

In this post, I will share the second cake recipe, the Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake. Due to pure laziness again…..I just used my previous post as a template for writing, so more time for baking…..as “Now everyone can bake”....

Kitchen tools that you will require, electric mixer at least the hand held, large bowl, fine grater, mixing spatula, and non-stick round baking tin (9” x 2”) or other shape of baking tin that you like.

Ingredients to prepare earlier: (1) use the fine grater to make ¼ teaspoon of grated nutmeg, and (2) 1 ½ cups of mashed yellow pumpkin, peel ½ medium size pumpkin, deseed and cut into small cubes. Boil and steam the pumpkin with ½ cup of water in a covered pot under medium fire until soft. Do not use a lot of water.

Now I will describe the method to prepare the cake batter. What you need to do is (1) put the ingredient one by one from (a) to (i), and (2) mix with the electric mixer after each addition of ingredient.

The ingredients:

(a) 125 mg or ½ blocks of salted butter

(b) 1 ¼ cups of fine granulated sugar, mixed until fluffy

(d) 1 ½ cups of mashed pumpkin

(e) ½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder

(f) ¼ teaspoon of grated nutmeg

(g) ¼ teaspoon of salt

(h) 2 tablespoons of milk powder

(i) 1 2/3 cup of self-raising flour

Pre-heat your oven at 350 ̊F or 180 ̊C. Bake the cake for about 50 minutes or test with cake tester until come out clean. Lets the cake to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before free the cake from the baking tin, some shrinking may occur, but this is quite normal. Enjoy!

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero. Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA cab

Currently, the town hall is used as Reading Museum and a large concert hall. Actually, the frontage was newly built with grey and red bricks, and terracota ornaments. The new facelift included the clock tower. Sadly however, the building suffered severe air raid in 1943. The latest refurbishement was completed in the year of 2000. On the southside of the town hall, you can see a dominant tower like structure that is the St Laurence’s Church. The Reading Town Hall, a vi
