Well! This might not look like kek lapis at all....the layers are not visible, I have tweaked the recipe without doing any research of the outcome....but, I must tell you...this cake , this cake....mmmm...this cake....ahh, I can't describe how good it was.....like Rima said...indeed it was the best of both worlds!

I shall now try more cheesecake recipes and....layer cakes, of course! Yup, it took a while to prepare and bake this cake, but it was well devoured by my family...it was Umar's lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday! Haha! When hubs return from Ayer Baloi on Sunday, he could only utter...."ni ajer yang tinggal?"....only about 1/8 of the cake left!

  3. OMG! Cantiknya the angry birds. Pandai sgt! But I know the superpower comes from the thought that you lose yourself in your passion and all the outside noises don't get in when you're passionately and devotedly baking. Whoa. Still can't get over those angry birds. cute sgt!
