Brandy cake

Had some leftover brandy after baking fruit cake during Christmas so i used it to make brandy cake.... Hmmm but must say that i didn't really succeed.. The taste was not too bad but it was a lil hard.

Pandan Muffins... 2nd attempt

The previous time i baked pandan muffins they were not so soft and it did rise much.. so as a result a lil short haha.. but this time round the muffins were taller and softer like how muffins are meant to be. I topped some muffins with chocolate chips and left the rest plain. Have a look at it! Compare it to this.
