Puff and pant...

......one minute... let me catch my breath.... breathe in.. breathe out... okay...

Hello everyone, I am back, as promised! I thought I was late to cook as Syahmi is supposed to go for his driving lessons at 1pm. With the piping problem in my kitchen, it really slowed down my work. But I am still grateful, even though the water flow is very very slow, at least I still have clean water to use for drinking and washing. Thank you Allah.

After racing against time (hahaha... dah macam sprinter pulak bunyinya...mama dah over dah ni...muahahaha...), I managed to cook in good time. When Syahmi came downstairs, he told me that today's lesson had to be canceled. Hmmm what else can I say...

Our menu....

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

Made these cakes last Friday, to serve my aunt and cousins who came by from Johor Baru. I gave one tray to hubby's cousin and the rest was enjoyed by my guests. And oh, I managed to send some to my dear neighbour Saerah too. So, thousand apologies in advance to those who has the intention to ask for a piece or two ya.... All gone dearies..... *wink* *wink*

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour

2. Using electric beaters, beat butter and sugar in small mixing bowl until light and creamy. Add the eggs gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the essence; beat until combined. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.

3. Using a metal spoon, fold in sifted flour and cocoa powder alternately with milk. Stir until just combined and mixture is almost smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin; smooth the surface.

Note :

1. I made double the recipe.

2. I used Buttercup.

3. I didn't use the electric beaters. I just beat manually using a wooden spoon.

4. I didn't do the topping.

Have a nice day!
