CRANBERRY CHEESE CAKE


Finally, I got to leave office early today at 5.30pm after 2 weeks of OTing till 10-11pm consecutively. My excuse; I've got a medical appt at 6.30pm. Its true, I did go for my medical check up but that took only about 1hr and i reached home at abt 7.30pm.

Immediately I got my mixing bowl, sift, measuring cup..... flour, sugar. egg etc out and started whisking away, Above is the end product. I actually took the Lavender Teacake recipe and got creative. Instead of Lavender, I added cranberries. I cut down on the butter and added cream cheese and voila!!! Cranberry Cheesecake.

1st guinea pig is my mom. Mom doesn't like cheese so her immediate response was "will taste better w/o the cheese". Sigh, looks like I gotta find another guinea pig.....

LAVENDER TEACAKE


Suddenly have the urge to bake a cake so decided on this Lavendar teacake. A friend of mine baked it last week and it looks real good so i decided to try. Took me only abt 45mins. Tastes okay, except for the Lavender, I think I added too much and it tasted abit like soap. Other than that the texture and everything else was good. Goes very very well with a cup of tea.... that's why its called tea cake. The next time I bake this cake I'll probably replace lavender with something else like choc chips, coffee, cranberry etc...
