Ever since I set eyes on Annie’s marble cake post, the image of her rich, buttery, chocolaty marble cake has made quite an impression on me.

Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes.

I had gone completely bananas with this delicious banana bread. (Banana bread is also known as “banana cake” outside of the United States.)
I love the smell of baking, especially the smell of banana bread, so yesterday, I baked banana bread (banana cake). Previously, I baked banana nut muffins to perfume my house with the [...]
