KBB # 15 : Mud Cookie Cake Sandwich

KBB pertama ditahun 2010, dengan tantangan Mud Cookies Cake Sandwich. Hihihi, kebayang gak gimana penampakannya ? Denger judulnya ada udah bingung kan. Sama ! Soalnya masing masing komponen katanya biasa berdiri sendiri. Cake, cookies dan sandwich. 3 jenis kudapan yang sangat berbeda jenisnya. Tapi memang belum bisa dibayangkan kalo belum mencobanya.

Actually, agak malu nih karena di putaran kali ini aku tidak menyelesaikan peernya dengan baik. Maaf sebesar besarnya ya ibu ibu host dan ibu kepala suku, aku ngaku lalai kali ini. Hiks !

Mungkin laporanku kali ini singkat saja, karena dari semua steps aku hanya sempat membuat mud cake-nya. Nih laporannya...

Ummm.... cake nya padeeeeeeeet banget, mirip kyak cake bantat gitu tapi nyoklat banget. Rasanya mirip mirip brownies tapi lebih padat lagi. Bikinnya gak sulit juga. Waktu pertama baca resepnya yang puanjang, pikirku tantangan kali ini bakalan susaaah. Tapi setelah dibaca dan dipelajari, ternyata gak terlalu sulit kok, hanya emang sih proses nya agak panjang.


Hanya ini yang bisa kulaporkan, udah gak tuntas, telat lagi postingnya. Hiks, muaap yaaaa.... siap deh dapet hukuman :(
