My cooking skills used to reach only to heating up a microwave meal. With my friend's encouragement, my 2009 New Year's resolution was to try at least one new receipe every week. I fell in love with cooking since, and find cooking the best way to quiet my mind and melt my stress. So I would like to use this blog to document my adventure, show off my results (all pictures taken by myself), and share the recipes I found or modified or created.

20101127 Speculaascake (Spice Cake)
(SOURCE: Albert Heijn Recepten - Speculaascake)
It was still eatable when it was warm and served with whipped cream. But it was just too dry and niet lekker! I wonder if it would have helped if I had added some milk and/or honey to the recipe...
INGREDIENTS
200g butter, at room temperature
200g bruine basterdsuiker (brown sugar)
4 eggs
200g self rising flour
4 tsp koek- en speculaaskruiden (pumpkin pie spices)
METHOD
1. Heat oven to 160 degree C. Grease the loaf tin.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer for about 15 minutes. Beat in one egg at a time.
3. Sift the flour and spices into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well, and pour the batter into the greased loaf tin.
4. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes.
