I love the look of the butter cake.
I haven't baked a butter cake for a long, long, long time.
B'cos there wasn't a demand for it!
My recipe is almost, almost similar to Mrs Ng's.
But I decided to try hers!
All went well except for............
There's a story behind the disastrous result!
Shame on me, playing the blame game!
But it wasn't entirely disastrous!
It tasted good....soft.....flavourful.....and
my hubby says it's good!
Oh yes! The story:
It always happens when the phone rings at the moment when you are doing something that requires some focus! Well, it did happen to me! Just as I was cranking up my oven to preheat, the phone rang!
Okay, it's only preheating, no harm done? But it did! My oven temperature was preheated at 220 deg C!
I only realised that something was wrong when the cake began to smell nice after a mere 5 minutes!
A quick check showed an almost brown top! My eyes shifted to the temperature knob! Oh my gosh! I couldn't believe what a boo-boo I had done! Barely ten minutes in the oven, I took the risk, quick as lightning, I slipped in an aluminium foil to cover the top. Whew! Saved by the gong, I thought so!
Alas, when it was almost time to put in the skewer to check, to my horror, the top of the cake was stuck to the foil. Very gingerly, I tried to remove it but I snagged the top. Grrrrrrr..... I was angry with myself!
Just look at those "fault" lines! Haha! Fortunately no tsunami!
After a bite, I was appeased!
Standing tall and proud?
My thanks to Wendy for sharing and if you are reading this, please send my compliments to Mrs NgSK.
Looks like this cake is getting popular.... no tsunami, ha, ha!
