Despite Marie‘s effort to keep the sanity of the Heavenly Baker group intact this hectic season, I decided not to take up the challenge for this cake.

First, I thought if a gorgeous prize winner, deliciously decorated carrot cake was a hard sell in my household, a plain gingerbread would be left alone. And I wasn’t a great big fan of spice cakes, anyhow.

Secondly. There’s just no secondly.

Funnily enough. When I decided not to bake it, I felt compelled to bake a cake, regardless. And I had a lot of eggs in the fridge. The day before I bought 3 pcs of 6″ tube pan for a steal. So naturally, I had to try them out.

No orange. So, can’t bake my favourite Orange Glow CHiffon. A Chocolate Chiffon it is. BTW, I shoudl mention that I still have about 7 eggwhites frozen from the Lemon Luxury Cake.

It was a scrumptious. Clearly, I didn’t take a photo. But I thought making them in smaller pans was such a great idea for giveaways. MrGart took one to his office, I took one for Haiza’s birthday and the last piece went to GartRed. The 4th piece was baked in a 6″ pan and it such in misearbly. hahah.

Ciao.
Excuses mexcuses aye?
