Old Fashioned Butter Cake



As I am typing this.. i realised that we hv like 5 more days bef year end... oh boy how time flies... its like a year ago i was blogging abt blueberry lemon cake and that i was sick blah blah blah... this year on the very same day.. alhamdullilah i am as fit as a fiddle.. i am trying to eat healthy.. ahemmm hahha.. am trying to stay healthy and am trying to get myself into the habit of going to the gym which i have never visited eversince we moved into this housing complex.. sigh... lazy lazy!



So anyway.. do u remember that i had to prepare macarons shells last night?? well listen to this.. I only fell asleep at 3am yesterday.. i did 3 batches which all turned out horrible... for some reason my macarons looked like flying saucers wearing a long skirt hahaha... I was frustrated.. agitated and at the same time trying to figure out what went wrong.. i still think that the egg white was the real culprit.. there is no way that i cud bake it without ageing another set of egg whites.. so with my head up high i quickly whiped up another batch using the same egg whites.. baked it and voila.. my shells turned out err well better than the earlier ones.. sigh.. i threw away the rest of my egg whites.. packed the ones that i had baked and went straight to bed..


Yesterday I woke up early.. did the chocolate ganache and piped in the filling.. pheww.. am so glad everything turned out well in the end.. ty sis Rita for the order.. hope u liked it!




So back to what i am supposed to blog abt in the first place lol.. i baked this cake on my birthday.. ahuh.. no cream.. no mousse.. nothing fancy for moi... this is the kind of cake that i like.. simple and nice and at the same time makes me wanna eat lots and forget abt going to gym hahaha .. thank you Sonia for sharing this wonderful recipe.. tmrw i will hv to force myself to start jogging around our compound :op

5 egg yolks (large)

Oh bef i go.. this is the rainbow jelly that i prepared for cousin Hairul for his engagement party... the good news is.. this one turned out good.. the bad news is.. my uncle didnt hv a proper plate for it and hence my jelly moved like theres no tomorrow while making its way to the girls house.. heard fm mom that they had to hold on to it and during the process.. my jelly was slightly damaged.. anywho.. Congrats Hairul.. semoga berkekalan hingga ke jinjang pelamin :o)

Hi Rima
Seems like mak2 dara n nenek dara (sape agaknya ek?) masih berjaga lewat malam. Buat apa agaknya? Menguli roti the old fashion way kah? :-)

Rima said...

No worries KNor.. Kita if on hols memang gitew.. Rima this month hancur.. Nak blogwalking also tak sempat.. Ty ty n selamat berhujung minggu!

Rima said...

Eh Izah.. Orang yg berumur macam akak ni harus try to stay healthy.. If not tak pasal2 penyakit melanda.. Ingat tak my pouting lips haha.. Doc said i hv to eat n exercise my body n mind.. Katanye i very stress... Lahhhh stress pulak dia kata hahaha

Rima said...

Memang betul lah Hana.. buat jello ni if one layer terkeras n when u pour next layer.. Dia tak akan melekat eventho u dah cucuk with garfu.. If layer masih lembek colour tercampur pulak.. Like my jello ni.. Dah ok pun the top layer lari cos bus corner baring .. Habis my mom n 2 aunties kena hold on to it haha

hi rima...
hepi belated besday...wishing u a blessed life ahead. May u stay young in de luks dept n at heart always...heehee.

can visualise yr mom n aunties bersama si jelly tu....lol
bab agar2 hantaran slalu org yg bawak dulang ni stress coz very high incident rate benda ni slipping off. Teringat my mom punya crita...dulu2 kan org suka kasi agar2 arnab.
She had to carry dulang si mak arnab n anak2 sedang makan rumput. Bila sampai kat rumah prompan..tengok2 eh satu anak arnab dah takde.
Diam2 dia gi tengok sana sini tapi tak jumpa...so on the sly had no choice but to push the remaining rabbits closer
...LAKSA

Rima said...

Hehe the moment they got back.. Satu satu came to me nak sampaikan khabar my jelly.. Tdy my mom told me what actually happened? Kat dalam bus the purple layer slide so many tines that in the end they decided to plong that layer kat lobang tengah.. Haizz jahanam jello i
