. The Tasting Palette .

I decided to try out the choclate orange cake recipe(from Nigella Lawsons) once again. The last time I baked it for the picnic, it was too soft. This time , the texture is just right, though the top is slightly burnt. The weird thing is that it became black just after 15 mins in the oven! (when the baking time is supposed to be 45mins-1 hr!) It doesnt taste burnt too, so maybe it's supposed to look like that?? HMM.. haven't figured that out.

Anyway, this cake is really interesting cause it uses no flour nor butter- just almond meal and mainly orange. So it's real moist, soft and light. But I don't know if most people will like it cause it's not the usual cake you'll find.

Chocolate Orange Cake- in its unadorned state

Wagashi!! SY kindly gave us some. These are Toraya wagashi straight from Japan! Toraya is one of the makers of wagshi in Japan and they have supplied confectionary to the Imperial family from the 16th century. I certainly cant wait to visit their store in Ginza, Tokyo.
