It just feel wonderful when friends loves your bakes, doesn't it?? ^-^ It is a light & easy fruit cake and simple to make as well!! Just whisk all the batter ingredient together, no complicated steps like creaming method or egg separation method :p Another wonderful recipe I found in Good Food Magazine again!!! simply love this food magazine :D
I've divided the batter into two 6" cake pan instead of baking in a large 8" pan as I wanted to give it to two friends. After baking I find the cakes looks so cute 'cos of the size :P decided to make a small one for myself also hahaha....They can't get enough of these tasty cakes, commented "next time can make a bigger one ?" :D :D
