Smiley Boba Milk Tea Birthday Cake [Gula Melaka Earl Grey Cake] 黑糖珍珠奶茶生日蛋糕

I made this delightful Boba Milk Tea Cake for my son’s 16th birthday, and he absolutely loved it! I could see the joy on his face when he saw it.

The same smile on his face when I made bubble tea for him back in year 2020.
Rolling the boba/ tapioca pearls and made everything from scratch was fun!

The cake features a soft, fluffy sponge that is not only moist but also infused with aromatic Gula Melaka (palm sugar) and Earl Grey tea. 

The cross-section of the boba milk tea birthday cake
filled with moist and soft gula melaka earl grey sponge cake. 

To make it visually appealing, I topped it with luscious brown sugar boba pearls and Earl Grey whipped cream, giving it the look of a giant cup of milk tea. 

To add an extra touch of fun, I decorated it with a cute smiley face! It was the perfect treat to celebrate this special milestone!

Happy birthday to my baby boy!🎂 May your year ahead be filled with love, laughter, and all your favourite things!

Method:

1. Prepare the dough using straight dough method. <Click here for detailed instructions 详细步骤>

2. Combine the filling ingredients, and mix to form a smooth paste. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag. Roll out the dough, add the filling, wrap it up and seal.

3. Let the bagels rest for 30 minutes. Bring water and sugar to a boil then lower the heat. Gently boil the bagel one by one, 30 seconds on each side. Remove the bagel with a slotted spoon. Bake at 220C for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. 

Note: Boiling the bagels before baking gives them a crave-worthy chewy texture, do not skip this step.

Sweet Red Bean Soup 红豆糖水｜红豆沙

This Sweet Red Bean Soup is a classic Cantonese dessert that I grew up enjoying. You can easily prepare this delicious dessert at home using just red beans, water, and sugar. The addition of pandan leaves, coconut milk, and sago adds a fragrant aroma and a velvety texture, making every spoonful a comforting treat!

Method:

1. Rinse and clean the red beans, add enough water to cover the red beans, soak for 1 hour, then freeze overnight.

2. Add frozen red beans, pandan leaves and water to the rice cooker pot. 

3. Select <SOUP> function. 

I'm using Song Cho IH Rice Cooker, the preset soup function is 2 hours. 

4. Add rock sugar halfway cooking. When the cooking has completed, serve warm with some coconut milk/ sago, if desired. Note: Freezing the red beans and stirring occasionally while cooking helps break the red beans quickly.
