Baking Again
It was too cold and wet to mess in the vegetable garden because of the rain on Saturday and a few sprinkles on Sunday morning, I decided to make a Marble Pound Cake, my favorite cake. Everytime I made this cake, I remember the time, I have to make for my Dad. We own a small Kopitiam managed by my dad and mom and once in awhile, we kids were help. My Dad will ask me to make for him a Marble Pound Cake or two to sell, so we can make a few Ringgit. We have no oven then, so my Dad had to take it to our neighbour who own a bread oven to bake the cake. We sold the cake in slices. It was hard work then, as I have to beat the butter and sugar by hand with a wooden spoon and I will be bitching as I was making the cake and now I think of it, I feel it was worth it. Thanks Dad.
I learn how to bake from my Economics class in school and I still remember some of the techniques the teacher, Mrs Herbert taught us and also from watching a lot of cooking shows in the FoodNetWork channel.
Marble Pound Cake. Recipe from the cook book "Complete Step-by-Step Cook Book" which I bought more than 15 years ago. |

Leaf lettuce from the garden. I will cook them with garlic and part used as a salad. It is so satisfying to eat vegetables from your own vegetable garden |
