Last night, I was blog-hopping for breakfast ideas with ipad on our bed. The lil' fella wasn't asleep and was still fooling around when I did that. He saw this pic of Wen's delight's butter cake on the ipad screen and shouted out 'mom mom!!' (which meant food).. so I asked him, do you want to have this for breakfast tomorrow?? He just continued saying 'mom mom'.. I guess that's his way of saying yes. So I decided on this recipe. According to Wen, this is one of her all time favorite, shouldn't go much wrong with this, plus this involves the yolk and white separation technique, it should yield a soft cake.
Recipe adapted from Cooking Crave via Wen's Delight.
