A very dear friend's birthday was approaching. We were cracking our heads for a surprise.
Then a bright idea pops up the day before. We decided to make her a 'cheating cake'. :) Cheating cause it is a pre-mix cake we have in our pantry. Lols...
Just need to add 3 eggs, 85ml vegetable oil & 280ml water. Beat with cake mix on low speed for 30 seconds then on medium for 2 minutes. Pour mixture into pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 180 deg celcious.
We thought it's gonna be a failure when it turn out runny after 30 minutes. Reduced the temperature to 165 deg and bake for another 20 minutes without the fan. And it actually turned out pretty good.
Left it to cool for about 30 minutes. Beat up some butter icing and smeared in all over. As you can see, it is not very professionally done. Well, we are not professional afterall. Lols...
At the restaurant, at the end of the dinner, when it's time to bring out the cake, the husband & I felt so embarrassed when the waitress walked thru the entire restaurant with cake in hand, heading to our table. Lols... We were actually hoping that they will bring it in the box. When the cake finally arrives at our table, the birthday girl went like.... "What's that?" hahahaha....
Nevertheless, it was a great surprise and not only did the birthday girl loves it, we all did! For once, we gobbled almost the entire cake in one sitting! Impressive! There were only 6 of us. Hehehe...
All I can think of was... it was an imperfect, perfect cake for an awesome friend! May all your wishes come true... :)
