Fruit Pastry Cake II

I baked one round 9" and one square 8" cake. The cakes
came out so well that I decided to bring one cake to my
office to share with my colleagues. Everyone in office was
'wowing' and complimenting on such a nice bake done.
Can't denied that it boost up my confident level :) Will
sure bake some more to share with my parents this coming
weekend too...

Fruit Pastry Cake I

This cake was highly recommended to me by hearty-bakes.
Looking at the nice bakes by her, I could imagine the fruity
aroma lingering in the air. I immediately book marked it and
buy the necessary ingredients needed for the cake. I followed
the recipe closely as not wanting to waste my fresh blueberries.
And whats more, I am baking 2 cakes at one go. Thanks to
my Ariston maxi oven.

Paper Sponge Cuppies

I have been MIA for long time. Busy, busy, busy...
Finally settled in new home with my new oven built. Wanted so much to bake something, but simply do not have time and energy to do anything. Reading fellows baker's blog is the greatest pleasure and mind relaxing for me during this period. Wished I could have ample strength and energy to start baking that moment.

To warm up my new oven, I have chosen Paper Sponge Cuppies from hearty-bakes .Texture is indeed very very soft and sweetness is just nice. I could have poured too much batter into the papercup, ended up with the cake rising too high and cracked...Nevertheless, thanks Jess for sharing this great recipe.
