Marble Cake with Raisins for my in laws

This is a cake I baked yesterday for my in laws in SG as hubby is going back for the weekend. Some aunties said they didn’t get to try my cakes, so this time I thought I’d get hubby to bring back the whole cake! Haha…sure enough kua.

As usual, to be on the safe side, better bake the reliable marble cake. I just added some raisins into the cake this time. Hope it’s not too sweet!

Birthday Cake - Moist Chocolate Cake with Ganache

Today is Jac’s birthday, a friend at work in my department so her team mates wanted me to bake her a birthday cake. I was considering between carrot cheese cake or moist chocolate cake, and in the end settled for moist chocolate cake. I guess we can’t go wrong with chocolate cake! This one has a layer of ganache in between the 2 layers of cake and covered with chocolate ganache as well (yummy…but fattening for sure).

Initially I wanted to decorate it with some fresh strawberries but this didn’t work out because I stored the strawberries in the freezer and when they were out, all the berries turned soft. It was already 9+pm at night and even if I can make it to the nearest supermarket, I don’t think I’d have the energy to continue decorating the cake afterwards. So, what you see here is a last minute idea ;p Not too bad, I guess??

I’m glad all of them loved the cake and they even thought the deco was cute. Haha…. :)

Chocolate Rum & Raisin Cake.....Sold :)

Wow...can't believe it that I've been away so long. Was out of country for my honeymoon for 2.5 weeks and after I am back, there's of course the work to clear in the office and right before the quarter ended.
Anyway, it's nice to be back where I can find noodles soup and nasi lemak easily ;p


Have not been baking for a long time too; 1 month+. This week, CF ordered 2 chocolate rum and raisin cakes for her friends, which is also why I tried my best to make the cakes look more colourful with the strawberries. Haha...I am just not a cream person when it comes to decorating cakes because I don't like thick layers of cream in my cake. At least that goes for cakes that I bake for own consumption or for family members/friends. It's good to try to be healthy ma...at least try...;p


I am happy with how the cakes turned out. Most importantly, CF liked them.
They smelled good too as I soaked the raisins in rum overnight. :)
