Not an Orange Banana Cake : )


Orange Banana Cake?
Seriously? Naaah : ) I am just kidding but I might try making them next time.

I am not a big fan of oranges not even limau manis. Someone in the office is going to celebrate her birthday this weekend. So the office asked me to bake her a cake. I said ok I will bake her banana walnut cake but later on I realise that almost everyweek I will bring a loaf of banana walnut cake to the office. I found an Orange Crumble Loaf in one of my old magazine sometimes ago and I really would like to try them. But as usual I am not good at following any cake recipes. Most of the time my baking will end up into something else : )


My sister used to get really annoyed with my cooking because I will always find a reason to add something else into the recipe or substitute the ingredient. Cooking remain me of my childhood day, we used to played 'masak-masak' under my parents old house. I always wants to try something new, like 'jambu batu goreng' or 'ubi kayu bakar'. My childhood friends sometimes think I am a little bit weird but I can't help it I guess. And since my mom and my sister are good cooks I often end up doing the dishes which is fine with me. Sometimes I do get the opportunity to cook but either they are not enough salt or too salty, too sweet, over cooked or this or that. So, I stick to what I do best, washing dishes : )

Now that I have all the times and opportunity to cook or to bake, not only I can cook and bake whatever recipe I like but I also can improvising a recipe, like turning an Orange Crumble Loaf into Orange Cake with Orange Sauce : )

What do you think of my new cake?
