Ean – Great that my tips helps. Actually, I do use the electric mixer but after you have completed the butter/sugar mixing, it is better to use a wooden spoon to fold in the flour and egg because too much beating will make your cake too ‘airy’ and the texture is very ‘smooth’. I prefer a rougher texture.

san – Hope you get a pretty ‘cake face’ next time.

foodmadesimple – Bake and then, fast fast give to friends lor. Take one bite will do.

allen – Yes, do bake. Men’s style of baking will give different taste lah. I see my son beat beat so easily, his cake also turned out nice.

hi Lilian, yes, i am going to try it soon.

why do you prefer to use the spoon to mix the flour , eggs & milk and not the the electronic mixer?

Thanks Lilian, That’s a great tip especially since I do want to start baking more. But since I started baking, I realised that I am consuming so much sugar and egg and butter……
