Red Yeast Cottony Ogura Cake #11

May is almost coming to a close, and this is my 3rd post of the month.  Felt left far behind and time really don't wait for me!  Long list of things to do,  and time is always  not enough. 

On the other hand, something to cheer me up is the pageview of my blog finally reached 100K and  with 80 followers though at the pace of a snail.   Yeah!  The journey has not been smooth sailing with lot of hiccups and set back.  I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for following and supporting me.  Muakssss...

This round I am adding  red yeast powder to my Zebra Ogura Cake with the other portion I added few drops of peppermint to add the extra flavours and found that the combination is superb! 

   The texture is as soft as ever!  Love it!

 

To make the Zebra effect  -  Divide the batter into half,  add in red yeast powder in one portion (mix the powder with 2 tbsp of batter before mixing into the 1/2 portion.  Add few drops of peppermint to the  1/2 portion.   Spoon the batter alternately into the cake pan as shown below.
