Let’s see, when was the last time I baked? Oh dear. I don’t remember. Ironic isn’t it? I started this blog to document my baking journey (and mainly to help me get out of depression) and now I have stopped baking. Tsk!
It could be a good sign i.e. I am no longer depressed. Hah! But I will start baking again because I miss it. Besides there is nothing more joyful than to eat a freshly baked cake.
These are among the cakes that I should really bake again.

| Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake |
Ah! Who doesn’t like chocolate cake? Gosh I miss this moist chocolate cake. After steaming instead of baking a chocolate cake, I have come to appreciate that steaming can produce a very good cake. I used to think that steaming a cake was weird. Well, not anymore.

| Triple Chocolate Buttermilk Pound Cake |
This is another scrumptious chocolate cake which is drizzled with chocolate ganache prior to serving. It feeds many people hee..hee.. and is a good cake to serve at gatherings.
 |
| Peanut Butter Banana Cake |
Yet another chocolaty indulgence. But this one is a bit challenging to produce. The first time I made this was a disaster but I learnt a lot from there. I am game to take the challenge again!
 |
| Chocolate Orange Ring Cake |
I almost forgot about this one. The combination of chocolate and orange is so fabulous! A very good cake, moist with tender crumbs. Definitely must bake this again soon.
 |
| Best Butter Cake |
This cake needs no introduction as it is the famous Mrs SK Ng Butter Cake which made me love butter cake. If you love butter cake and want to bake a really good one, use Mrs SK Ng’s recipe and you will never look back.
 |
| Walnut Cake |
This Walnut Cake is basically a butter cake which contains walnuts. I know that there are people who dislike nuts in their cake (and chocolate) and perhaps this cake is more for the walnut lovers.
 |
| Blueberry Orange Buttercake |
Or how about a fruity butter cake? I enjoy this one a lot because I am mad about blueberries and somehow I think blueberries go very well with oranges.
 |
| Pandan Chiffon Cake |
This is a perennial favorite with my folks. My mum and dad love Pandan Chiffon cake and so do I and the rest of the clan. It is among the first cakes that I learnt to bake and I am happy to say that my pandan chiffon cake turns out well every time (trumpets blowing loudly).
 |
| Japanese Cotton Sponge Cake |
Haiz…. this one, very challenging. But worth the effort. If you can do a chiffon cake, you can handle the batter for this one except maybe for the baking part. But as with anything else, practice makes perfect. So, if you want to be good at baking, bake more often!
So let’s see if my first post for 2020 is a cake or what?
