Marmer Cake






Back to basics...


I hv been thinking abt baking this cake for months now.. this cake brings back memories.. i remember mom used to bake Marmer cake alot... she used to bake it in a square pan and wud always use a condensed milk can or even the golden churn butter can to bake us a small cake... another thing that i can easily remember was the use of powder colouring and also vanilli powder (it came in a very small bottle) in her bake...  wonder why she didnt use vanilla essence back then.. perhaps it was way too expensive to use vanilla essence or extract.. or maybe all her recipes used vanilli powder???... "shrug"







Now i got this recipe while blog hopping and saw it uses vanilli powder and i had bought a small bottle of vanillin crystal powder while in jakarta.. thought i shud gv this recipe a try and will gv mom a loaf tomorrow and see what she says.. (oh i got two small loaf of marmer cake with this recipe) Love the simplistic taste of this cake.. love the moist texture.. love everything abt this cake...
