“Cake Jalan Tiung was founded in a small kitchen in Shah Alam by Kitchen Helper Hidzad and Head Baker Shafinaz. We started baking to satisfy mostly for our sweet tooth cravings without adding too much dent in our pockets. Kitchen Helper saw the opportunity and demand for the bakes and persuaded Head Baker to bake seriously and sell to friends and family and we are here now with two shops and a great team with us.
Our signatures include the Salted Caramel Chocolate cake which has the nice balance of sweet and salty, Berry Sue Pavlova that has a contrasting sweet and bright flavour and of course the 4C (Cakejalantiung Chocolate Chip Cookies) that is perfectly chewy and gooey served warm with milk. ” – Hidzad

Recipe
Houjicha Kyoto Kek Batik (KKB)
by Cake Jalan Tiung
Makes 4 towers of kyoto kek batik
Ingredients
100 g cream cheese
4 teaspoons TSUBAKI / Houjicha powder
75 g condensed milk
200 g whipping cream (whipped)
32 pieces of Marie biscuits
Sufficient fresh milk for dipping
Macadamia nuts (optional)
Crunchy dark chocolate pearls (optional)
Method For Houjicha Cream Cheese Mixture
1. Mix cream cheese using a mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth. Sift TSUBAKI / Houjicha powder over the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl with spatula and mix again for one minute.
2. Add condensed milk until well mixed and fold in the whipping cream until no streaks can be seen in the mixture. Put Houjicha cream cheese mixture in a piping bag and keep refrigerated until needed.
Method To Assemble
- Pour a small amount of fresh milk inside a bowl with a flat bottom.
- Take one piece of the Marie biscuit and quickly dip into the fresh milk and shake off excess milk.
- Place the dipped Marie biscuit on a small cake board or tart base (or any flat based plate where you want to serve the cake on). Take the Houjicha cream cheese mixture out from the fridge and cut a small opening at the tip of the piping bag. Pipe a thin layer of the mixture on top of the dipped Marie biscuit.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have completed 8 layers of dipped Marie biscuits and Houjicha cream cheese mixture. You may attach a star piping nozzle and pipe the top for a more decorative finish.
- Leave the cake to set inside the fridge overnight. This gives time for the Marie biscuit layers to absorb the moisture from the Houjicha cream cheese mixture and soften for a nicer cake finish.
- To serve, sieve more Houjicha powder on the top layer of the cake, sprinkle macadamia nuts and crunchy pearls.
