Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Strawberry Yogurt Cake with recipe obtained from Happy Home Baking

Is indeed a very interesting cake and i made two cake in two day because for the first cake which you are able to see.. Lazy me refuses to get my butt down to get any olive oil or butter.. and i used peanut oil.. so the cake got a very weird taste but look very pretty..

The second cake which i will not show is tasty (it taste a bit like ice cream) because i changed the recipe a bit by adding a bit of mashed strawberry into the cake mixture but as i used butter or because i added the mashed strawberry.. the texture did not come out that well.. it is not as fluffy.. so oh well.. need to experiement more to get the correct taste, texture and look.. haha

Picnic food

Had a picnic with TFB in late Aug... and here are the food that we have prepared:


There are scones, chocolate tarts, salad with mushroom as well as mushroom with tuna covered with cheese.

Brought two batch of strawberries from two different supermarket at two different time (one is at night and the other one at late morning). It is proven that the strawberries is indeed fresher and better when purchased in the morning or late morning when the fresh punnets of strawberries is just being put on shelves.


This picture doesnt justify the redness of the strawberries at all. It is really a bright red that is so pretty to look at.

So here is how the chocolate tarts look like

Visually not very pretty as we do not noe how to dig out the tarts perfectly without damaging the tart shell... Taste wise.. i think it taste good except that it is a bit on the heavy side... while the rest of te people except TFB felt that it is a bit too sweet... alright.. next time will not add sugar into the shell anymore..

This is the highlight of the day... Even though initially i was putting all my hopes on the chocolate tarts to be the best bet, surprising this mushroom covered with tuna and cheese remain the best item among all the food that we have prepared. In fact, the chocolate tarts is the least touched by the both of us as it is really too heavy... The taste of the mushroom + tuna + cheese linger on in the mouth you have finished the mushroom and makes you crave for more. I felt that even though the taste was a bit overpowering when i bit in initially, the taste turn very good after a while and before you knew it, the two of us finished all but left two for my bro and sis in law to sample....

I am a veggie freak.. I have to eat some veggie for all meals and when i mean some i dun mean the garnishing on the dishes. So we made a salad to bring along... As i have removed the stems of the mushrooms, i have baked the steams together with cheese and added that onto the salad, plus the mushroom was 'leaking' out some juice so we just poured all the liquid onto the sald. And the salad tasted GOOD!.... I guess we are mushroom and cheese lovers that is why everything with mushroom and cheese tasted good. So mushroom with cheese and the salad ranked first among all the food that we have prepared..

The scones that we have made, is better than the previous batch that i have tried making because it is not that salty anymore. Plus we brought fruit jam to add onto the scones make it the second favourite among the both of us...

So sadly the food that i have predicted to be the number one fav among all of us became the last fav because the cheese was a bit heavy.. shall try to reduce either the cheese or the sugar in the future..

P.S i was surfin the net the other day when i saw another blog that uses mushroom + minced meat + cheese covering the mushroom to be baked too.. So apparently i am not the only one who have such an idea of using mushroom to put some meat inside and cover with cheese to bake... hehe...
