[@asheebasingh9988]

Hi Matthew, this looks really amazing. I am trying it right now. Just one question,, do we have to cool our boiled black eye before adding to the food processor? Is it ok to put hot stuff in food processor? Please reply soon. Thanks

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can once it is a high quality processor.

Thanks for the recipe I had forgot

[@faziayusuf7439]

Looks very delicious. Will definitely try it. Can you use canned blackeye peas instead?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

No. They are too mushy.

[@fifiprivate3127]

Hi Mathew can you plz tell me how you made the pastry for the black eye cake thank you

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

The video to the pastry video is in the description box right below this video. There is a link.

I remember the old Chinese black eye cake from the early 90s. The red dot was a Chinese symbol Good job!

[@dharas4114]

Matt- use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Dark brown... demarara brown sugar

[@5argonne]

Very happy you show the steps to make this... thanks Can you make Guyanese I think it sounds like this broc mouth(break mouth) it's like a biscotti but better! I remember having that as a little girl in berbice guyana and never had it for 40 years... but I remember how good it was with mauby ! I think my family would really like it.,. If you have it! Thanks😃👍

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I will surely try that recipe. I've heard of it before.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Same to you! Let me know how they come out!

[@5argonne]

Hi Matt if you put the pastry dough in the fridge before you start using... do you leave it out to get back to room temperature before you start rolling it out to make the pinetart or black eye cake? I want to make the black eye cake but I am super nervous 😃. I made pinetart and it was great... it took longer in my oven almost 35 mins at 350f Your black eye cake looks amazing... I want to try! Also can you make cheese roll with that all purpose pastry dough? Thanks cool dude Matt!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Nope, you can use it while it's cold.

[@leahhosein4800]

Thank you for the recipe.

[@DC-vw7yf]

Very nice ,Matthew! Thank you for this! Is that about a tablespoon of filling you used? And what was the amount of peas you used before you soaked them? Or was it one cup of dried peas that you soaked?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Sorry for the confusion. It was one cup of dried peas that I then soaked (I will change the wording). And for me it was about a tablespoon and a half. Itll depend on the size of them though.

Do you think there is a way that you could add cinnamon instead of sugar to this recipe or make it a cinnamon and sugar version.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Not sure what you mean.

[@justinmohan7103]

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Is there anyway that some of the sugar in the recipe could be replaced with some cinnamon and it would still taste good. Its just to reduce the sugar content. Like instead of adding 3 cups of sugar to the inside stuff you could add 2 cups and some cinnamon.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

@@justinmohan7103 Yes of course. You can make it as sweet as you want (add more or less). Also you can use any spices such as cinnamon.

[@srambaran7967]

When I purchase this from the store, the filling is much darker...do they use kidney beans or use browning to colour the black eye?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can use some browning or you can put the sugar in the butter to caramalize first

You can brush on some water. Or even almond milk

[@silverbeast730]

because its a bean paste cake, i knew it had asian origins. when you said its tradition to eat on new years, i dont believe its indian tradition since black eye is in every bakery along with pintart and cheese rolls. if its a tradition for some, it stems from chinese tradition of eatting moon cakes on new years which have a variety of bean paste fillings.

[@hermahusain7232]

What about the food color to make the filling darker

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I have never heard of people adding food coloring to the filling. Usually burnt sugar or casareep are sometimes added.

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 may be burnt sugar not casareep

Hi Matthew do you have the recipe for chester cake?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I dont have it up as yet. So I will work on it for you

[@beabrown5778]

Chinese cake pastry is not the regular pastry dough. This is moon cake. In the sixties and early seventies the Chinese cakes sold in the Chinese bakery shores were several layers of tissue thin and colour pastry.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I never said this was the traditional recipe. This is the way I make it at home

[@beabrown5778]

Ok! Why not try the tradition recipe? It’s several little soft balls in one.

Why are they so yellow when you buy them and yours are not

The bakeries add the yellow food coloring to the egg wash when they baste them. I didn't add yellow coloring in mine.
