Crumb Cake

I found the recipe online:http://www.food.com/recipe/new-jersey-crumb-cake-33645
This is my first crumb cake. And It turned out to be a big success. I did a little change based on the original recipe.
For cake:

Butter 60g

Sugar 80g ( I’m afraid the original recipe would be very sweet, so I reduced the sugar)

Egg 1

Milk 80g

Flour 140g

Baking powder 1tsp

Vanilla extract 1/2tsp

For topping :

Biscuit mix is used in original recipe. I changed it. I used flour and ground almond powder instead. I reduced butter and sugar too. Cos my husband is on a diet.

Butter 40g

Sugar 40g

Flour 40g

Ground almond powder 20g

Cinnamon powder 1 tsp
1. Cream butter and sugar.

2. Beat egg and milk, mix with butter.

3. Add flour and baking powder to the butter mixture. Then add in vanilla extract.

4. Pour batter into pan.

5. For topping: put all the topping ingredients in a bowl. Rub them by hand. And they will become crumb.

6. Sprinkle crumb topping over batter in the pan.

7. Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Bake for 30 mins. ( you can check with a toothpick. Poke the cake with toothpick, if it comes out clean, then the cake is done).


Powdered sugar is used to top the cake when cool. I didn’t use it. 

It tastes really good. Since I reduced sugar, it’s not too sweet. 

The topping is very crunchy. 

Fudgy Fudge Pie

I made a little change according to it:

Butter 120g

Flour 35g

Cocoa powder 30g

Sugar 150g ( I already reduced sugar based on original recipe but still found it is very sweet.)

Eggs 2

Procedure is almost same as original recipe:

1. Melt butter, add flour, cocoa powder and sugar.

2. Add in eggs. Stir well.

3. Pour into pie plate.

4. Preheat oven to 190 degree C, bake for around 30 mins. (After 30 mins, the edge is a little burnt, so I think maybe 25 mins is also fine.)


In the plate topped with some cream and fruits. It is very soft inside actually. Outside is a bit crunchy.

阅读理解中常见典故解说—”孟母三迁” Common Literary Quotation In Reading Comprehension

孟母就是指孟子的母亲。迁是指搬家。

孟子小的时候他的父亲就去世了,所以由母亲一手养大。他们家原来住在墓地附近,小孩子的模仿能力很强,久而久之,孟子就学会了别人在墓地哭拜的行为。孟子的母亲觉得这样不好,就选择了搬家。他们搬到了一个集市附近。集市非常热闹,每天人来人往,孟子又慢慢开始模仿别人做生意,讨价还价的情形。孟子的母亲觉得这样不好,就又选择了搬家。这一次他们搬到一个学堂旁边居住。这一次,孟子跟着学堂里的学生学习知识和礼节。孟子的母亲很高兴,觉得这才是孩子应该学的,他们也就安定下来不在搬家了。

这个故事可以从不同的角度去分析:

1, 母爱

2,环境对一个人的行为和品德的影响

所以在写议论文的时候,如果有类似的题目,这个典故可以用来当作论据。

QQ = 䊆 = 弹牙

Chinoiseries2014's avatarChinoiseries 《汉瀚》[中/英/日/韩/法]

QQ (福建话) = 弹牙
古文有这个字Q, 保留在闽南语 (= 古文 Museum)。

『khiū』是 正港 閩南語; 用 “Q” 寫 “khiū” 是 台灣人 設計」。事實上,它的本字,早就有學者指出是「䊆」= Q。

《廣韻》其九切《集韻》《韻會》巨九切,音臼。《說文》舂糗也。 又與糗同。《說文》熬米麥也。 又《篇海》乾飯屑。 又《集韻》於九切,憂上聲。義同。
