2nd attempt on fruit cake
Made 2 of it on CNY eve, one for my parents and the other for myself
First attempt trying to bake an eggless blueberry cake. When i was given a request from my friend to bake an eggless cake for her bf, i was clueless, can the cake 'fa' with no eggs. So i did a search online, most of the cakes looks really thin and finally i found a recipe which is eggless and suitable for vegetarian. In the morning, my friend who supposed to bake a cake for her bf, turned up ecstatically, waiting for me to prepare the ingredients for baking.
The only thing she did for the whole process is shifting the flour and slowly fold in the dry ingredients.. :) The end product came out successfully and surprisingly the cake did rise slightly but comparing it to a cake that requires egg, its like a small hill. In the evening, when i was baking pineapple tarts for CNY, my friend bf actually called and commented that the cake is simply delicious and he enjoyed it, haha.. it actually made my day after working on the pineapple tarts for the whole afternoon.
