Jaffa Drizzle Loaf

Tak sabar2 nak tunggu 12.01am so that I can write. Ye la, dah habis time untuk wordless Wednesday. Dah lama tak buat wordless Wednesday, kadang2 perlu jugak kan? hehe.. but for a chatterbox like me, that was a hard one!

As I mentioned earlier, this cake was introduced by Leene who is currently residing kat Cairo. Err.. introduced dalam facebook je. She baked this cake few days ago and dia cakap sedap! Tu yang tangan aku itchy giler nak bake this cake. I love simple cake recipes and aku rasa this is one of the simplest cake recipe ever but yield a very tasty and moist cake. Peh! memang boleh makan sepinggan la. Nasib baik la cake ni comel je, so takde banyak leftovers.

Actually kan, cake ni dah habis pun. Tadi my SIL datang, aku bagi kat dia. Takleh weh simpan cake dalam peti. Nanti ada yang bukak peti malam2 buta makan cake. Pagi semalam, hubby woke up, cerita pasal his nightmare. He could barely sleep. Nak tau nightmare pasal apa? Nightmare makan bubur jagung. Duh! ada ke patut tu dia consider as nightmare. Terjaga dari tido dia, dia masuk dapur, bukak peti, nampak the Jaffa Loaf. Nasib baik dia ambik bau je. Siannya hubby aku.. takpe, esok aku akan goda dia dengan kek yang sedap.. muahahahhaa..
