Asian Fruit Cake 2

Remember THIS? Yeah, well, I did it again. And this time it didn't turn out half as well. Yes, I made the cake 2 days before graduation. Yes, I assembled the cake the day before graduation. But still, I could have done better. I forgot the vinegar, and I'm blaming that for why the cake didn't rise, though I didn't buy new baking powder and used the one that I got in August, so that could have been a problem too. Then I didn't have the appropriate storage stuff to keep the cake from drying out overnight before I frosted it, so the plastic wrap didn't really work and the cake got a little hard on the bottoms of each layer. Kind of annoying. But apparently my grandma kept on thinking about this cake after she ate it, and it was really alright, though not light (the day I baked it it was light, because I ate a little piece that fell off, but the next day it was a little more dense).

That being said, still try this recipe! It's beautiful! But eat it the day of, and make sure if you're storing it, you store it properly!

  1. This is the first time I got to try this cake, so I guess I can't compare it to a PERFECT rendition, but I have to say I think it was very delicious, and of course beautiful. I would like a piece of it right now!
