Bake and Cake

The past few weeks I have been craving a nice fluffy piece of decadent cake.  Usually when my cake craving comes a calling, I can take out my mixing bowls and spoons and whip up something in the kitchen. However, being a working woman now ;) I don't have too much time for baking.  So this past week when I found out a new Asian grocery market open up near by that had a bakery, imagine my delight!  I guess my cake craving was contagious because Nhat started craving cakes too. And so we ofcourse made a visit to the new grocery store and picked up a cake.

We decided on a Ube cake.  I love that the cake was very soft but it was a little too dry for my liking.  The ube frosting however, was delicious.

Our cake craze didn't stop there.  Nhat has been talking about a bakery that one of his doctors constantly rave about, Porto Bakery.  This past Saturday we decided to make the 40 minute drive to give it a try. I got a Cubano Sandwich and Nhat got a Slow Roasted Pork Sandwich and Chicken Empanada (spelling?).

We also took a Mixed Berried Milk Cake home.  Too bad our milk cake melted on the drive home, but it was still good.  The cake was moist and frosting was delicately sweet.
