Tips to enjoy Mama's Cheesecake chocolate moist cake...better!

All these while, Mama's Cheesecake Chocolate Moist Cake has been served with our signature chocolate almond nib toppings. While many still enjoy this way of eating the cake, the more adventurous consumers are looking for alternative ways to enjoy the cake without sacrificing alot of the sensational taste. In fact, the more health-conscious consumers prefer the cake without the topping as its sweetness and creaminess is really an acquired taste. Realising that the cake without the topping still tastes as good, Mama's Cheesecake now sells the cake in 'nude' i.e no topping ;) But if you still want the topping, just top-up RM10.

Here we share with you a few tips on how to enjoy Mama's Cheesecake Chocolate Moist Cake....without the chocolate topping:

@Heat it up:- I am never alone when making chocolate moist cake as my daughter and husband always wait for the cake to bake....even if it means sleeping at 1am in the morning! Why? They say the cake is best eaten when it is hot because the crust is as crispy as biscotti while the center is soft, creamy and smooth.

This is definitely something that you can do at home though it is not as 'fresh' as eating it right after the oven pops 'ting!!'. After cutting the cake to your desired size, you have two options on how to re-heat the cake:

Firstly, use the oven. Using a conventional oven, heat it up for 5 minutes at about 150'C. If you are using a microwave oven, though I am not a big fan of this technology, then you can use the 'auto re-heat' option but reduce the time to about 1 minute. The best indicator of whether the cake slice is hot enough is to gently press it with your finger. If it props up immediately, then it is just nice. If it is cold, then you need to heat it up a bit more. If it is hard, that means you have over-heated it and you might have accidentally 'created' a chocolate brownie ;)

Secondly, use the steamer. Place a slice of the cake on a heat-resistant plate. Steam it for about 5 minutes.

Out of the two options, I much prefer the latter as the steaming process actually adds moisture to the cake making it soft and melts in your mouth.

@Peanut butter:- The creamy and sticky texture of the peanut butter actually complements the moist, crispy and soft texture of the cake. Make sure you spread the peanut butter while the cake is still hot (after the re-heating process) as this will slightly melt the peanut butter and create an overall 'creamy' taste when eating your cake. You can use your favourite peanut butter flavor but my favourite so far is Lady's Choice peanut butter with chocolate rice.

So, go create your own way of eating Mama's Cheesecake Chocolate Moist Cake and share it with us! Happy trying!

Bake, Make $ and Be Happy!!

We are happy to announce that Mama's Cheesecake is entering a new cycle in its evolution. When the cheesecakes were 'born' 20 years ago, we only served family and friends at tea parties and gatherings; middle of last year (2009), we went commercial but only took orders from individuals; this year (2010) we are bringing our cheesecakes to cafes and restaurants!!

With this phenomenal leap, Mama's Cheesecake wants to share the joy and happiness in making our cheesecakes with budding bakers out there. The arrangement is quite simple: Mama's Cheesecake will conduct a few training-cum-assessment sessions to ensure you qualify for the job. When you are ready to bake on your own, Mama's Cheesecake will deliver all ingredients to your home. Then you just need to bake and chill the cheesecakes as taught during training. Mama's Cheesecake will pick-up the finished product and you will earn your take immediately (Note: Terms and conditions of your earnings will be discussed via email upon you contacting us).

Who should apply for this fun job? If you can bake and has all the basic utensils to bake, own a cake mixer, an oven and a refrigerator then you are one step away from being part of the Mama's Cheesecake family. It is a great opportunity for you to know the secret in making the favourite Mama's Cheesecakes while at the same time make money in the convenience of your home!
