Christmas is all about sharing and my sister shared this recipe with me. We have been sharing our recipe for more than a year and also have been asking each other on the methods of baking. It's always nice that both of us share the same passion on baking.
Since Christmas is all about sharing, I baked 2 log cakes. One for my bestie Chrizelyn Tan and another one for my family Christmas gathering.
These log cakes are simple and not difficult to bake type. Most importantly, the ingredients are cheap. I really can't imaging a log cake is selling at a whopping $40 to $100. Ouch...
Hereby wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!!
Below is the recipe for you to keep.
