Marble cake is a success!

most difficult thing i've tried to date: marble cake!

my brother kept asking me to bake a cake, and since i've somebody who would be willing to eat what i bake, so why not! i've never baked a cake from scratch, and this is my first time! usually i just buy premix.

anyway, baking is very tough work. do not doubt that. and it's good exercise when you're bored with studying!

so, i youtubed how to bake a cake. and so on. eventually found one that looked do-able.

This is how you do it:

Ingredients -

A) 1 cup of castor sugar
200g of melted butter
3 eggs
dash of vanilla essence

B) 2 cups of self-rising flour and 1/2 cup of milk

1. Using an electric mixer, blend A until it becomes thick and foamy pale. This takes about 3 mins on high speed.
2. Add B, and use a mixer to blend everything in, about 30 seconds on high speed.
3. Pour out half of the batter into another bowl.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in the remaining half batter, and blend for 10 seconds.
5. pour both batter into the cake tin, whichever pattern you like!
6. Bake for 35 mins on 180 degree celcius!


I KNOW IT SOUNDS EASY HERE, BUT ITS NOT OKAY!
and its freaking troublesome having to sift and measure everything!
you have to freaking melt the butter. you go try and see how troublesome it is. microwave doesnt work, cause it always pops and end up dirtying the entire microwave.

i initially couldnt find the electric mixer, so i whisk by hand for like 30 minds in step 1, and the mixture didnt change at all!!! HECK MY HAND CRAMP LIKE ASDFGHJK ALSO NO USE. and i was thinking to myself, THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM BAKING THIS.
luckily mum helped me find (with a lot of chidings, she forever think im a baking failure and will blow up her kitchen) in the end, and everything turned out well!

was very tiring, but the cake turned out good in the end so all my hard work paid off! so i cant wait to try doing this again!

now if only math works the same way...
