My Low Fat Brownies

failed..... sad.....

Since everyone in the office are on diet... so I made some low fat brownies for everyone just to ease our chocolate craves and also to make everyone not to feel so guilty after eating some choc!!

Well... I think these low fat brownies looks good... but it taste a bit weird though... kinda bitter. May be I put too much cocoa. The original recipe require applesauce or prune puree... but I replace them with some fat free - no sugar added strawberry yogurt and a medium size golden kiwi fruit.

Will still bring my low fat brownies to office... and see what my colleagues says...

my own conclusion is that... I rather make my own devil yummy brownies next time and will just have a tiny piece! muahahaha ;-D

Super Moist Banana Cake

Sudden crave for a banana cake... Unfortunately there wasn't any rotten bananas in my kitchen! Well, went to do some banana shopping and since then had been waiting for these banana to rot themselves up! :D Finally!! After about 2 weeks!! It's time for me to kill these poor bananas!! I bake this banana cake last Saturday morning. It is super super moist! In fact might be a bit too moist... BUT it's still incredibly yummmmmmyyyyyyy!! and it's not too sweet! Me and my friend finished the cake in a day! I might reduce the sour cream next time so that it wont be THAT moist...

Anyway, it's a keeper guys :D but when baking this cake i just found out that the spring of my cake tin doesn't lock anymore! so sad... I'll need to buy another one.

*** i've got this recipe from piggy's cooking journal and made some changes with it ***
