axa: Kek ni sangat sedap. Cuma kalau ikut sukatan kat atas ni..kek ni tak la manis sangat. Kalau saper suka manis..tambahkan sikit gulanya. Why dia buat tak manis sebab bila kita gigit apple dan chocolate chip..baru kite akan rasa manis. Texture kek ni pun cantik dan moist jugak.

Axa : Kek ni sangat sedap. Ni first try axa. Alhamdulillah menjadi. Favourite ayah aszra. Axa letakkan blueberry filling as topping utk tambah kan lagi kelazatan kek ni. Kalau tak jumpa fresh blueberry pun tak apa...sebab blueberry filling tu pun boleh ..cuma kena gaulkan dengan tepung gandum la sebelum masukkan ke dalam adunan.
