Sour Cream Cake

I've done this cake before and turned out soft, light and tasty. Originally it is called Sour Cream Coffee Cake but there's not even a pinch of coffee been used. Don't know where does the coffee come from. I prefer to name it as Sour Cream Cake. If you like the taste and the aroma of the cinnamon, get and try this recipe here http://thebakingstudio.blogspot.com/2008/10/sour-cream-coffee-cake.html

Fruit Cake

Rich of dried mixed fruits. Favourite to everyone who tasted it. 'Wiped out' in a minute. Can't stop eating till finish.

Sweet Sour Layered Cake

This is my 'long time dreamt wanna do' cake - Kek Lapis Masam Manis before the haw flakes meet the expiry date. I bought the square shape haw flakes during my 'jalan jalan cari makan' in Kuching a year ago. Aiyooooooo... have to fly to Kuching to get those square haw flakes...

This is my second attempt of 'do-it-myself' for layer cake type. Again, I choosed Chef Noraini Zakaria's recipe from her book 'Variasi Kek Lapis'. Not bad huh?

This is my first layer cake done all by myself. Not bad huh!!! Recipe by Chef Noraini Zakaria, I choosed the simplest for a start. Many people refuse to make this type of cake because of the time consuming during the process. Actually, it was not that hard if we know the techniques. It was fun, fun and fun all the way till the ends of baking.
