Looks..


.. can be deceiving.

Just baked yogurt apple cake this morning and it didn't turn out
that nice, looks wise that is *phew*.

As for taste, it's yums! Totally. Pinky promise.

If you favour apple pie, apple crumble, apple tart, apple anything basically.. you'll love this. I never thought apple cake would be nice. Again, weird combination i must say. Surprisingly, it was good. Even more so if you have a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream to eat with it.

The texture of the cake turned out to be densed and heavy. Very filling. Absolutely didn't expect this. I must say, it's as heavy as moist carrot / passion cake.

Lesson learnt today :
  1. never bake anything when you are under pressure, especially if you are pressing for time.
I sms-ed hb this morning asking if he wants lunch delivery today and he said yes yes yes. So, i thought, instead of sending only lunch, why not maximise the use of the petrol (mind you, it's almost 90km to and fro to hb's workplace) and throw in dessert as well?

It was 10.15am then. I need to be out of house at 11.40am the latest coz lunch time is at 12noon. Can you imagine the rush? I popped the cake into the oven at 10.35am. Yes, only 20 minutes of preparation. Crazy isn't it? All the creaming, mixing, steaming the apples etc.. all done under 20 minutes. Sadly, by the time i left the house at 11.40am, the cake was still not done despite my super duper speed effort. It needed another 10 minutes due to its big size. Sigh.

It was supposed to look like ->



Unfortunately, it didn't. It looked like this instead *sniff sniff* ->
