Something Classic ..

I really need to baking something quick - since 2 beloved people will come home soon , while my other hand still busy with another domestic chore.  My husband, like to have a cup of coffee and little snack when he come back home from work, and also my little one - while we walking home from school, she always asking 'what are you baking today, bunda ?'  :))  She is a nice little one, I tell you ..  she always appreciate home made dish.   That's why, no matter how busy I am, I always try to bake something little for them. 

 

Well, something quick, something classic like marble cake is never failed to impress them - in fact, I baked one batch of marble cake for our last day summer picnic on last Sunday too.  Glad that every friends who came to picnic like my cake.
