My failure in baking Cake! SObs

Came home after dinner and decided that i shld bake a cake tonite! Friday nite is usually quiet and lonely for me. Mum goes for exercise, Dad goes for coffee session and sis goes dating so little manman has whole house to herself! So tonite with all the time at hand, cake baking shld take place! Followed a recipe from 1 of mum's numerous cookbooks! I chose to bake 1 marbled ring cake!

Here goes:


Getting ready all the items to start my baking!!
Quite alot of stuffs to prepare!!!


Seperating the whites from the yolks! First time i actually did it!
Watching tv is good! noe how to do it easily!!


Mixing the hard butter and sugar to get the creamy mixture
as stated in the recipe. Hard work i tell u!


FOlding in sifted flour into the creamy mixture



Hard work i tell u!!!

To mix the egg white to become a stiff mixture like this!!
Being housewife can is like working out in a gym i tell u!

I predict my right arm will ache tomolo!


to make the cake marbled.
Alternately put in the cocoa added mixture and the plain mixture.


The huge mess i created! I have to clear all this up!!!

SObbies!!


Cake mixture was left to bake in the oven.

Cracks starts to appear!

Guess wat i get after all this effort!!!
A really hard cake that seems to still b uncooked inside!!!The cake was super dense!!!



Cracked cake!!


Its ugly bottom when i turn it round to cool it!


Mum asked me to throw it away! asked me dun ruin my tummy over it! She sae its ok if i fail...i shld not b disheartened but instead try to see where i gone wrong and try again! SHe tell me cooking is not an easy affair! She told me i shld have attempted something much much easier! Not 1 with the yolks and white seperated! i reckon i took too much time, then the mixture got kinda melted by the time i actually baked it. To look on the bright side, at least it looked and smelt like a cake! She was pretty impressed by this fact already! I m sad! i shld have done cookies! LAst time i bake the cake for dear, it taste sane wat! but if i not wrong, it seemed a bit uncooked too! haha! chamz!! how to open my cafe next time!! i will attempt again! I am determined to b a good cook!!! or at least a good baker and dear will b his good cook! then we join forces!! hoho!!!
