Cake adventures...

I made very first attempt at baking a cake from scratch. And by that I mean following a recipe in a book rather than buying one of those packet mixes. It was an orange and chocolate cake. And here's the result.

Okay, so it's not great. But it tastes quite good. Love the dark chocolate and orangey taste. Unfortunately, it didn't rise too much but I'm guessing that's because I may have ended up using less of the amounts than what was suggested. The reason: Well, the amounts were all '125 gms' or '50 gms' and I had no way of measuring these! I wish they'd stick to cups and teaspoons and tablespoons.

But for a first-time baking attempt I call it a success. Of course, it's nowhere close to what some other bloggers can do!

By the way, I know I'm supposed to be on a healthy eating schedule but after the week I had, I thought a little indulgence wouldn't hurt! :)

Until next time,

Cheers!!!
