Dawn dear :
just kay poi reading you and nonya cake baking , if the flour already pre seived you don’t have to seived when you add the egg one at the tiem also add a table sppon of the flour too it make the cake mixture better , as nonya say the sugar and the butter must cream it until very pale and fluff then your cake will turn out well soft and moist temp put to 160′cm gas mark 4 will be the best and set the cake middle of the oven .
the more you bake your cake will be prefect don’t worry .

Hi Pearly, no probs at all being a kay poh I must now have cream the butter and sugar long enough to make it look pale! Guess I was too impatient! THink I’m going to try this cake again this weekend, which means it’s tomorrow! you have a good weekend, Pearly.

Sift the flour is always a must.

Please, plese don’t tell me you did not. It is so basic !!!!!

Where did all your home science lessons gone to ????

Why don’t you invest in a round tin ? If not you have to try till you get the time right.

Aiyah, the flour I bought was already pre-seived lah! Still want to sieve again? Home science lessons all back to Mrs. Ng and Chin!!

If I don’t get a regular round tin, DB will eating the same old thing over and over!!!

Hey how come the cake turn out like that. So more put up my big name. Malu leh, this ‘toh tai’ is so pathetic one.

::))haha….

Aiyah I think you must cream the butter and sugar well and beat the eggs one at at a time well.
Use medium size eggs and comercial sour cream. Not cream that had turned sour in your fridge !
The oven or temp might be the reason. Different cake tins have different timing in the oven
Lastly the cake is soft and moist. but not super soft like the sponge cakes. Texture is a bit dense. Sorry don’t know how to ezplain it properly.

Try it again and if it still turn out terrible please don’t broadcast my name !

Anyway it must not that be taht bad if DB ate all of it.

Toast it in the oven to turn it to something different like I did. – suggestion only

Haih, you should know “what kind of water I am”! Still have so much to learn. You know, I’m using those non-stick loaf tin. it ciould be due to the material of the tin like what you and DB said. BTW, I bought real sour cream, too, coz we don’t eat sour cream anymore, so where is there any “real” sour cream in the fridge, right?? DId you sieve the flour, too?

DB said it taste damn good. You know him, anything tastes good to him. It is actually tastes not too bad, just dry.

Hi there Dawn,
How have you been? Poor thing your doggie Cooper, hope he gets well soon.

Nicole

Hey Nicole, I’m just doing fine but getting lazier!!! Cooper right now is snoozing like a pig! Can’t afford to take him to the vet for his x-rays. They cost a bomb.

Dawn Dear :
\happy new year to you , look back to you old post .. wow can see u miss all those FOOD in Malaysia huh ,is your boy ok now ? your sister is really gud with her cross stick work really fine bless her ..
summer start already ? so warm ?

Hi Pearly sweetie, yeah, both hubby and i really missed m’sian food. Day in day out we talked about it and only want to eat Malaysian food. I think the only western food we had was Christmas and New year’s meal.

Coopster is still limping. I told hubby I will take him to the vet later when there enought $$ floating around! BTW, it’s not summer yet. winter is still lingering around. Just that weekend the weather was weird – half the snow is gone now. But mother nature is gonna kick some butt soon!
