Dari Dapur Bonda #2

Assalamualaikum...

Who is desperate for a cake? Come on, put your hands in the air and shout

  "WE WANT CAKE!"

Nah, tengok gambar dulu, biar ada yang terliur~

Ok i'm not really good in decorating a cake so tunjuk sikit je la gambar ye. Maybe the cake looks like the cake i made before, the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, but if you look a little bit closer... Oit, camera!! A little bit closer i said...!

Can you all see what color is the cake? Nope, not brown. Maybe maroon? Actually, it is red, but the lighting causing the color to be a little bit unclear. Since it is red, so it is Red Velve. To be honest, i never heard bout this cake before until 1 day i went sleep over at my mom's friend house, Aunty Ani. On my 2nd night there, which is on Saturday night, Aunty Ani ada buat kelas agama since her husband is ustaz. Actually every Saturday night memang dia buat kelas agama pun. So berduyun-duyun la orang datang and each of them bring some food. So ada la yang bawak kek ni. For the 1st time i laid my eyes on this cake, i was like..

PERRRRGGGHHHHH!

Merah kot kek tu~

Then i get a little bit scared la sebab warna dia extravaganza!! And bizzare? hahahahaha..

But then i cannot resist la, i have to try the cake, and again i was like...

PERRRRGGGHHHHH!

Not bad at all. Well, not bad after all! Really shouldn't judge a cake by its color. Yes serrie, this is Red Velvet Cake, nama sesedap rasanya jugak.
