Confession- I have not bake for quite some time... Anyway, suddenly felt like having some walnut cake and decided to look for a recipe and bake one. Found the recipe from Alex Goh's Book on Cakes. Asked hubby if he would like some cake but he said no. Nevertheless, I still decided to go ahead and bake it. I'm glad that I managed to bake it as it was just right. According to hubby, it was the best cake I've baked so far. Hmm... but then he always seems to be saying the same thing :P
For me, the texture of the cake is quite smooth and soft. The sweetness of the cake is just right. I will definitely use this recipe again :)
