Shopping spree...Not!!!
As if you don’t already know this, the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 2009 is on-going. And I am dying to go shopping (I’m sure I am not alone in this). But since it is ‘bulan tua’…I hardly have the money to survive until the next pay day, let alone go for a shopping spree. Darn!
Last weekend, a friend and I were all set to go jalan-jalan at City Mall. Obviously, we cancelled it at the last minute. I mean what good it is to go window-shopping only to look longingly at those gorgeous clothes and shoes at discounted price, but just incapable of owning them? Argh! That is soooo heart-breaking! Neither of us wanted to be in that situation, so we thought better of it. *sigh* Another 10 days to go before pay day. ..*roll eyes*
So, to occupy my time, I decided to bake a cake. What else? But the family favourite cake – butter cake.Hehe…I’m merely a beginner, still learning my way through baking. Surprisingly, the cake turns out to be not bad. The texture was tender, moist and delicious. In short, everything was ngam to my liking. All at home love it and so does my neighbour’s kids.
Hehe…you are most welcome to try your baking skill. Here is the recipe which I got from BakingMum , complete with the easy steps :-
Ingredients :
200gm caster sugar
250gm butter
6 large eggs (at room temperature)
300gm self-rising flour (sifted)
1tsp vanilla essence
½ to ¾ cup of evaporated milk

1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC.
2. Beat butter with caster sugar until white and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time and mix well. Add vanilla essence and evaporated milk and mix well.
3. Fold in sifted flour into butter mixture and mix well. Pour into greased and lined cake tray for about *an hour.
*I didn’t exactly bake it for 1 hr. After 50 minutes, I did the toothpick test to check its doneness, and-voila!-, a nice and yummy butter cake. :)

HI mamamia! Thanks for dropping by my blog. I dun bake, but wish I can! Will read more to know u better : )
hi mamamia... u know wat, payingpost rejected my application.. apparently they aren't accepting blogs from blogspot anymore... darn.. by the way, im with u, no window shopping... no such thing for me... haha... and oh, i love bakingmum's site too... envy her skills... haha
Thanks for sharing... dis weekend mo try la ni :-) btw, chk my blog.. ada tag best :-)
hi mama mia! great recipe! that's how i bake my butter cake too! the most important thing is to fold in the flour instead of using the mixer. Folding in flour will allow the cake to rise more. :)
by looking at yr recipe, I am convinced that your cake is yummy~licious. :)
STP ~ LOL. Nex time I'll remember to snap a photo la.
goolypop ~ Hi.Tq for dropping-by. :) Me too will visit u more often.
LonTugi ~ Oh dear, i'm sorry to hear that. But i'm not aware abt they dont accept blogspot's blogs anymore.

yes, baking mum's site great.i'll be visiting more often to get other recipe. :)
Mimi ~ dont forget to post about it later ya.

Surfing thru your blog ba ni Mia.. ternampak ni post hehe.. Sy pn ingat2 mau p shopping spree but x jadi coz terfikir pasal my coming baby and the house renovation.. Penin kepala hehe...
Neeway, dulu masa sy bujang2 suka juga sy bake cake untuk cuba2 saja.. Sometime I baked for my family's birthday ja.. Maybe after ada rumah sendiri nanti baru start balik tu baking hobby..
So far, sy baru join 1 baking class masa cuti sekolah.. Maybe, kalau ada baking class time cuti2 Malaysia, buli juga kita sama2 join.. hehe
