During the weekend, my hubby's relatives came over for visit and I make this agar-agar jelly and they loved it and amazed by it. Few question pops out! How to make this? :) 

I saw this recipe in nasi lemak lover's blog which she adapted from one of her blogger friend. The recipe is very simple and easy to make and plus it is so refreshing as what Sonia mentioned in her blog.   

Orange Agar-Agar Jelly

Ingredient

2 tsp Agar-agar powder/ Jelly Powder

400 ml pure orange juices which I extract from the oranges ( about 5 oranges) or mix with the store-bought orange juices

Rock Sugar to taste - depend on the sourness of the oranges

Method

1. Cut the orange in half, extract the juice and drained.

2. Remove the flesh and reserve the orange "shell".  

3. Mix agar-agar powder, orange juices and rock sugar in a saucepan and bring to boil till   the rock sugar dissolved, drained.

4. Pour the agar-agar jelly mixture into the reserves orange "shell".

5. Chill in the refrigerator till cool and set. 

6. Cut and serve chill. 

This recipe I adapted from cookbook by chef Hanieliza with a little adjustment on the banana cake ingredients.The texture is wonderfully soft, moist and fluffy. Very easy cake to make, I guess.  Since bananas go so well with chocolate, so I decided to make chocolate sauce and drizzle on top of the cake and sprinkle it with icing sugar.. and the result was yummy yum yum cake but  the cake design was terrible. I think it's time for me to attend cake designing class to get some basic knowledge.
