Mom's Day (Squander's Day)

Woke up at close to 1:30PM then I wandered around at home for a while and looked through the recipe book. Mom was in the bathroom while dad was out. Left home at 2PM and walked to Tanglin Market Place.

These were the things I'd bought.

- Dried Cranberries
- Dried Apricots
- Butter
- Whipped Cream

TOTAL COST: S$13.05

Well...I baked a cake for mom, itz a fruit cake...T_T I didn't follow the recipe exactly. Typical me.

1. I did like what the recipe stated, butter 125g (left some to grease the tin), an egg and 2 tbs honey and stir till creamy. T_T Unfortunately...I think the recipe wasn't that detailed eh...it is just like making Hollandaise sauce if you know what I mean. My butter broke! It didn't matter anyway...

2. Next, I added the dried cranberries, apricots, stir and added the small box of raisins. Stir and then add in the oatmeal. Wasn't that watery soooo I added another egg and stir and added some more oatmeal and then I added another egg.

3. I thought of using some Cabernet Sauvignon and thus added 1 tbs of it. Stir well and then I added some whipped cream (the ones which you use to decorate...)

4. I sprayed the entire can of whipped cream on top of the cake and baked in the oven for 25 minutes at 180 d C. Before you put the cake in, let the oven preheat for roughly 15 minutes.

5. Once cake is done, leave it out to cool and oh yeah, it is up to you if you wanted to add the whip cream on top of the cake BEFORE baking OR you could spray it on top AFTER the cake has cooled. Either way you like :p

Thatz about it.


Take care.

Veel plezier.


Day 89.
