Kueh Bakar Labu (Pumpkin Cake)

Oohhh I love kueh bakar but I'm a sucker for kueh bakar that has pumpkin or sweetcorn or even yam in it!

Had some leftover pumpkin and was clueless what to do with it apart from crisps and decided to make these .

Just boil about 1/2 cup of pumpkin in water and mash. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, pour into greased mould & sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 25-30 minutes on 180 degrees or until the top browns and puffed up a little bit. This recipe is enough for only 1 kueh bakar mould so double it up if you're making more.

1 egg

3/4 cup santan (1/2 cup kara + 1/4 cup milk)

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4-1/2 cup sugar ( i prefer 1/4 + 1/8)

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup mashed pumpkin

1 tablespoon oil

Sesame seeds for topping

Kuih Bakar

Craving something sweet for teatime today and decided to make Kueh Bakar sans the sesame seeds or colourings so its au natural today.. (actually I ran out of colourings!)

I ´dump´ all the ingredients into my blender for a smooth batter.. plus its easier to clean up since i can use the blender to pour directly onto the moulds! I hate clean-ups! tsk tsk tsk

Ingredients are :-

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup pandan juice (1/2 cup of water + 2 pandan leaves)
1 1/8 cup santan
2 eggs
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tsp pandan paste (i used kaya pandan essence)
few drops of green colouring (optional)
sesame seeds (optional)

Recipe will yield 36 small kuehs using the mould or 2 large moulds. Pour the blended ingredients into the greased mould and bake for 20 minutes on 200 degrees oven or until golden brown.
