There are times when I feel like baking though these times do not come so often as I want it. I am a poor hand at baking and cooking, however I’ve been trying to learn since I got married. Whenever I try to bake something and it will turn out the way it should be feels like heaven to me. Fortunately, nothing I baked that turned out to be “uneatable”. Though at times I get a result that disappoints anyone’s palate.
This chocolate cake I baked on my break looked good but not the way I would want it to be. It should be soft and spongy but this seemed to be like a cookie. I didn’t seem to miss something from the recipe, in fact, I liked blending all the ingredients cos it looked like I was doing a chocolate fondue. I got this recipe from my cook book but it doesn’t have an image of how it should turn out to be. I should find a better recipe for chocolate cake. Baking is not a piece of cake to me and I always need a recipe in front of me even if I had baked the same thing before.

Hindi ko kasalanan kung di pa rin madadale sa susunod. Kasalanan ng recipe, hahaa!
Amy LeForge says
Awwww, keep on trying Marlene! You will get better and have yummy treats along the way. I like to pretend I am doing a science experiment, and if something doesn’t turn out well that’s okay. I learned not to do that again. 🙂

Jen, kumain naman si Mr at may kasabay ngang ice cream. Siguro para maging masarap ang lasa kaya hinaluan ng ice cream, hahaa!
