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.

You still have that recipe book with you? It is so difficult to get real butter cake these days, everything is made from margarine.
Very interesting what you are doing so far :)
yes, thats why I love to bake my own cake make with real butter.
Thanks for checking my blog
