Cake for a girlfriend


I feel sense of satisfaction when someone tasted your cake and said “Nice!”. 
 This is one of the birthday cakes which I think it’s the best done so far.  It was baked specially for Faith, a sister-in-Christ on her birthday in January.
The sponge cake recipe was taken from a cookbook, which my brother brought it for me during his Taiwan trip.  I’m not able to provide the recipe as it’s in Chinese and I have difficulty to translate or type them out word by word. 

 However, the least I could do is to provide the title of the cookbook.

Here’s the cake that was all prettied up for celebration.

  2. Hi Amy,

    You are so sweet baking this gorgeous cake for Faith :D

    I'm hopeless too with Chinese language and translation. Sama sama... hee hee

    Btw, about your lemon cake question... Although the method to bake this light lemon cake is quite similar to chiffon cake baking, the texture of the cake is not like chiffon cake. It tastes like the lighter kind of pound cake and with lots of lemony taste.

    Cheers!
