Butter Cake & Farewell K2!


Looks like I'm going to K3 sooner than expected. Aunty Su Wen told Mom that my teachers are happy with my progress so I will join other kids my age in K3 immediately after Chinese New Year. Tomorrow will be my last day in K2 so Mom said I should bake a cake to share with my friends.



Creaming the butter icing is
hard work.











Topping my favourite 'Orange Butter Cake' with a steam engine and 'Bye K2' in the puff of smoke from the funnel.






In case you are interested, here's my simplified recipe:



Orange Butter Cake

8oz butter
6.5oz self raising flour
6oz fine sugar
4 medium eggs
1 orange (juice & grated peel)


How?
1. Cream butter and sugar till white and fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time.
3. Stir in sieved flour, orange juice and peel.
4. Bake at 200°C for 40mins.

(Makes 8" x 8" square cake, like in the photo)

Tell me if u tried and if it turns out well. Enjoy!!

Buddy,
Your recipe is great!!! My mom helped me with the cake and we put smarties on the pink icing. Wanted to send you a picture of the cake but the camera died on us while we tried to take a picture. My aunts couldnt resist my cake and they have eaten half of it already. So I will try to take a picture of it when I make the cake again soon... Mom said we ran out of ingredients.
