Taste the Rainbow. For Jasmine with 'Pride'

         There's a commercial with the slogan "taste the rainbow" i have no idea what it is right now, but i'll remember it, i thought about how my cake doesn't have all the rainbow colors so its just a taste of the rainbow :).

       One weekend off work, i got into this baking spirit and i kept telling myself i was baking for Jasmine. Jasmine is my darling niece, i love her so much. When she grows up we would be baking together, which is pretty soon judging from how fast she's going. :)

       Meanwhile few friends came over after church on Sunday and we sat on pieces of cake, my one friend Nonso said "Am i baking for pride?" i said "what do you mean?" he goes: "the rainbow you know, the colours" and i said "ooooohhhh..y not"! lol. why the hell not! Its love.

So here's a cake for 'jasmine', baked with 'pride' hehe.

 

I used the same recipe that i usually use for plain cakes. It should be in the recipe Box of the website. However i put different flavors into the different layers of the cake. For the bottom layer i used milk chocolate bars; melted, for the pink layer i used a banana; crushed. For the yellow later, i used a drop of vanilla extract,and i put some lemon into the green layer. 

The chocolate frosting! yum!

Banana stole the show though, i swear it did. 

Happy May 1st Guys! I hope you have an awesome WORK  month with love and PRIDE!

Bisous!!

Yogurt & Lemon Cake.

So, my friends know: i never bake... or at least i try to but i don't have a baker's confiance. I felt like putting a little love into something and so i decided to bake. Baking requires patience, i dont have patience. lol. so i tried to do everything slowly and finely. I followed a recipe from a book {I must say, sometimes these recipe books are crazy! #nuffsaid }. My Aunty Dora used to make yogurt cake for us when we were kids and she'd use food coloring in the cake haha. She could cook up a storm BTW. 

Well i am very proud of the turn out. The recipe called for cream or icing on the top and i used whip cream   ( because in my mind its lighter lol) and pecans on the top. The cake had the consistency of cheese cake.
