Baked Chocolate Mooncakes - 4th September 2014

I’ve been seeing lots of postings on baked chocolate mooncakes.  When I saw Ann’s dark beauty, I immediately bookmarked her recipe!  So, here’s my version of dark beauty!   



Ingredients  (Recipe shared by Anncoo Journal)
113g Plain flour
18g Cocoa powder
85g Sugar syrup
25g Peanut oil
1/2tsp Alkaline water

360g lotus paste with one handful of melon seeds,  divide into 12 portions, 30g each





Method:

  1. Mix sugar syrup, peanut oil and alkaline water together thoroughly.
  2. Sift plain flour and cocoa powder in a bowl. Make a well in the center and pour sugar syrup mixture. Using a rubber spatula to mix and form to a soft dough. Cover with a cling wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide dough into 12 portions, 20g each and roll into balls. Wrap in coffee lotus paste.
  4. Roll it into ball and dust with some flour. Press firmly into mould, unmould and place on a lined baking tray.
  5. Bake at preheated oven 170C for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and rest mooncakes to cool for about 15 minutes. Then bake the chocolate mooncakes again for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Leave mooncakes to cool down completely before storing into an airtight container.

This mooncake can be eaten immediately with the cripsy....Wait for about 3 days for the mooncakes for skin to soften (回油)before serving.
