Orange Butter Cake

I wanted to update the blog yesterday but was so busy with the laundry. Hadn't been doing my laundry for the past 3 days as I was busy with the cakes. The machine had to do the washing trice yesterday just because the weather was quite sunny. I am so happy to see my empty laundry baskets!

Didn't do much yesterday besides the laundry. Hadn't tried any new recipes as I am feeling rather tired. I think I need to rest to recover from the lack of sleep. Wah...alasan baikkk punya! But today I am planning to bake some cookies, fancy cookies to be precise. I wanted to try decorating them to put in the barakat packets for my abah's hol day ceremony. Time really flies. It's almost a year already, abah left us.... I miss you abah.......

Let's move on to the recipe to share. It'll be this Orange Butter Cake by Amy Heng.
