Chocolate Lembab Cake


I baked this cake together with D, to give M as her birthday cake. The cake is moist, exactly likes what the name describe it (lembab means moist). We love it and so do others that had commented here.

Pandan Butter Cake


The original recipe from Aunty Yochana, which here I chose the one without ovallete and omitted the kaya. I never expected the cake a bit dense, maybe it's due to over folding, as I could still see lots of tiny lump flour in the final batter. Eventhough the cake a bit compact, but still nice to eat :)
