Savoury Cake with “Butterfly” Prawn Crackers

June 30, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another blog post freshly published by butterkicap.com. I hope you enjoy!

Cake

Savoury cakes are an acquired taste. When we hear the word ‘cake’, what we imagine is something sweet, decadent and rich. ‘Savoury’ is the last word we would think of to describe it. However, with an open mind, savoury desserts can be delicious too. But, only when made with the correct ingredients.


When it comes to flavour, it has to be strong, not pungent but with a herb-like sweetness in the end. I would say, savoury cakes are refreshing and light, perfect as an appetiser, refresher or amuse-bouche. While most of us don’t usually prepare or have an amuse-bouche as a pre-appetiser in house parties we organized here in Malaysia, I think it is high time we bring a small part of ‘haute cuisine’ to our table but of course, with a Malaysian twist.

Ingredients:

a) Savoury Cake Batter

  • 90g coconut milk
  • 90g milk
  • 2g of turmeric powder
  • 3g sugar
  • 3g salt
  • 75g flour, soft

  • 10g chives
  • 10g shiitake mushroom
  • 10g onions, diced

  • 10g garlic
  • 30g shallot
  • 20g dried shrimp

One Bite, Full of Flavours

I know that some of you might feel intimidated looking at the intricate work of the crispy crackers on top of the cake. You can actually opt out on that. What’s important is the flavour of the cake. Trust me, you will not be disappointed upon the look of pleasant surprise on your guests’ face. Sometimes, it pays to try out new things, right?
