It was rather a creamy cake,however I find the taste is great. As I dont fancy cream that much, I dont make creamy cake often and in fact this cake is just my 2nd layer (creamy) cake .. I still remember those days in Burma that whenever I eat the cake with cream, there is a very greasy or oily taste in my mouth and I just don't like this feeling. Nowadays, with the replacement of whipping cream, there is no such greasy feeling. However, I still don't like to consume too many cream.
The making of blackforest cake was really fun and lots of excitement. In fact, I am happy to bake all kinds of cakes and I really enjoy making them. There's a saying "Do what you love, so you can love what you do". At least I am doing what I love to do for at least 4 hours per week..Not bah huh!.LOL.
