I've always ordered this dessert whenever I dined at Top Hats, Bonton & Alexis. I suspect the pastries Top Hats, Bonton, Alexis were all spawned by the one and the same person. Su Chan. And for years, I have been combing the net for a recipe that resembled this, but to no real avail. Until she came out with a cookbook.
Of course when Boolicious (Masak Masak) told me about the impending launch of the book, I was as excited as when the Lord of the Rings was released..... well....maybe not, bring it down a few notches, yeah, say 90%, and you have it.
Even more thrilled was I to find out that within those pages lie the magical inscriptions that would allow me to make THIS in my own oven.
Verdict? Absolutely yummy. Since I couldn't be bothered to make my own treacle ice cream, I just served it with Bulla Pure Cream, which is probably a better choice, as the cake is sufficiently sweet and the neutral but orgasmic taste of cream actually complements it the way lemongrass complements tom yam.
On a separate note, strawberries can really embellish a cake with minimal effort hor. I think this looks quite pretty. Only problem is the prohibitive cost of strawberries.
