Nice and Fluffy Butter Cake

Woo Hoo.. Its been a long time since I update this little baking blog of mine.. Reason mainly due to overloaded school work.. Lots of projects lining up await me to complete them..

I did some baking here and there whenever I got released from school early.. Or sometimes crazily did my baking in the night, and wake up for school at 7am. But nevertheless, I really enjoy baking sessions, even tho its a 3 step recipe, I still enjoy the session trememdously! Cos it's the baking process that I enjoy!

I received a comment from Anonymous, requesting for a buttercake recipe, I've this recipe on hand, waiting for it's turn for me to try out.. I intend to bake this cake for B's mum, cos I remember her saying that she likes buttercakes!

I got this recipe from Aunty Yochana, and even though I haven't try it out yet, but I have faith in her recipe, always so good, and always yield good results!

So here you go!

Oh, I expressed my interest to learn chicken rice and belachan chilli sauce from B's mum! She's a fantastic cook! Went over to B's house for lunch/dinner on several occasions, and his mum always serves up great tasting food! 2 of which I cannot resist eating more will be the chicken rice and belachan chilli!

I'm really determined to learn these from her!! So happy, really look forward to it!
