But we already have plans for the coming year end holidays!! YEAH!! This coming holidays we'll have lots of visitors and trips...woohoo...I've been counting down for them..:D What about you?
Do you notice that almost all shopping complexs have started their X'mas decorations? Oh I love X'mas, just can't wait!
Well, today's bakes...a light and soft Coffee Sponge Cake. I love cakes, but worry about the fats and calories in it. Since I've been craving for it, why not a lighter one to satisfy myself..:)

Looks very special, almost like a zebra cake!It looks very soft too, yum yum! ;D At one look I thought it's chocolate, but I should know my coffee lover friend would opt for coffee flavor, heehee. Nice nice nice! :))
ReplyDeleteNice and soft! Love coffee-flavoured cakes.
ReplyDeleteLooks very soft and spongy, like the layer pattern too.

ReplyDeletecan i replace corn oil to butter ??
Hi sherene,
ReplyDeleteYes you may, but butter is more condense compare to cornoil, so the texture may vary.
Hi...can i replace vanilla powder to vanilla essence
ReplyDeletetq :D
Hi Sherene,
ReplyDeleteI think Shd be ok with vanilla essence but the taste would be slightly different. Then you may adjust the sugar to 20g because vanilla powder is alittle sweet.
