Finally!


When I saw a picture of the Lemon Meringue Pie a few years ago, I was so utterly fascinated by it that I told myself I just had to make THAT one day.

Well I certainly took my time and got down to doing it today after a few days of 'research'. Spent the whole morning slaving and fretting over it and managed to get it out in one piece. I was supposed to do up my timetable today but...guess there are better ways to waste time away.


Didn't really know what to expect - this being the first attempt and all...but I think it turned out OK. Loads of room for improvement and modifications but at the end of the day, nothing blew up in the kitchen...so I guess its SUCCESS! =D

Kinda liked the look of it before it went into the oven actually(compared to the finished one above):

 Pardon the newspapers underneath hehe...

After waiting almost an hour for it to cool...I finally get to see what it looks like on the inside:

Gentlemen...Start Your Ovens!

It had been months and I was seriously itching to bake again...so I jumped at the first chance I had to throw something into the ol' oven!


Presenting......the very humble and traditional Chocolate Cake! Only this time, its eggless and according to the recipe, was supposed to be a very moist cake. Well it was...only that its hard to tell whether the cake is moist or not when each slice is smothered by scoops of heavenly ice-cream! 1 scoop each of Haagen-Daz's Strawberry and Macadamia Nut(awesome stuff) ice-creams. Hee hee...


The recipe was taken off the Net by my mom and she was looking for the right time to try it...I was more than happy to step in and do it! Extremely simple steps and pretty basic ingredients that are easily available anywhere. If you want to give it a go, get clickety-click on the link -> Eggless Chocolate Cake
