How to make Sun Cake

Sun Cake is Taiwanese traditional sweets - sugar syrup inside layered pastry.Whenever I go back to Taiwan, I will get a box of this thing. Although it's not as flaky as the one sold in the store, homemade sun cake is pretty tasty too.

Preparation takes a long time but it is not that difficult to make!

Step 0 - Prepare all the ingredients.

Ingredients for skin (油皮):
Mix them all lightly and rest for 15 minutes. Once done, kneel it again to make it a ball about 15g each (12). 

  • All purpose flour (filter) 190g
  • Powered sugar (filter) 20g
  • Water 85g
  • Oil (I use coconut oil) 30g
  • Unsalted butter 45g
 

 




Ingredients for inner skin (油酥):
Mix them all and make it a ball about 15g each (12).

  • Cake flour 100g
  • Unsalted butter 75g 
 


Ingredients for inner sweets (内陷):
Mix them all and refrigerate it until it becomes firm. Then, make it a ball about 15g each (12).

  • Powered sugar 80g
  • Cake flour 30g
  • Powered milk 20g
  • Salt 1/4 tsp
  • Molten sugar (or caramel or melted sugar) 30g
  • Unsalted butter 25g
  • Water 10g
 




Step 1 - Wrap the inner skin inside the skin. 
 

Step 2 - Face it down and roll into an oval. Then roll it back to be a cigar (face up). 
 

Step 3 - Roll it into an oval again and roll it back as a cigar. Then, pinch it in the middle and face down. Rest it for 10 minutes.
 

Step 4 - Roll it into a circle and wrap the inner sweets.
 

Step 5 - Use hands to make it flat (round). Make sure face it up. Rest it for 10 minutes.









Step 6 - Bake it 200 Celsius degree (390 F) for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan for 180 degree and bake it again for another 5 minutes.

"Awa Soda" Soda Bubble Candy

This candy is similar to Smarties but melts faster with flavor of ラムネ " Ramune " (taste like Sprite) with strange bubbles "Awa" in your mouth (a lot of bubbles!).  Bubbly bubble! If you are either Ramune fan or bubbles fan (imagine bath bubbles melts in your mouth) or both, this is for you! This candy is very unique in its flavor and texture for people outside Japan (I hope it was obvious from my description above). However, I totally forgot about its uniqueness for a moment. Then, I came to realization when my daughter put the candy into her mouth for 2 seconds and then spit out immediately with yikes face.  Yikes! Anyway, since my hubby doesn't eat any candies and my daughter rejected the candy, I decided to keep it all to myself at work. I like "Ramune", candy and bubbles so this is a candy of my dream. Very bubbly! Awa Awa Awawa! If you are up for this sensational bubbly experience in your mouth, check out these items now. Today&

"Caplico" Chocolate Snack

Caplico mini is one of our family's favorite sweet snacks. It's basically "ice-cream on cone" shaped chocolate snack (dry). "Ice-cream" part is made of fluffy textured chocolate. It comes with 3 different flavors - strawberry, vanilla, cacao. "Cone" part is wafer. Inside the "cone", it's stuffed with again, fluffy cacao flavored chocolate.  Yes to strawberry flavor Caplico! Caplico actually comes with "regular size". In my opinion, you easily get tired with one flavor with regular size. On the other, " mini " version is just a perfect size for you to try out another stick with different flavor. Additionally, I noticed that "cone" (wafer part) is also somewhat crunchier with mini than the regular size. Regular size Caplico   Hence, when you purchase one, please make sure you select "mini" Caplico! I selected one for you so check it out.  Today's shopping list: 1.  Gli
