I have thought to bake with prune… I should give it a try! Your recipe sounds delicious
The use of this pan makes for such a beautiful presentation! Love the powdered sugar top!

Hi Natalie,
You can use your sponge cake recipe, substitute the water and flavour to milk and honey.
Thank you, Rachel. When are you going home? Can't wait to see your 新作品:D

莲子：lemon oil比lemon flavour香和浓。只需要放1 tsp 就够了。有时候做cheesecake,找不到柠檬就用lemon oil代替。我们这里也有卖butter oil 和 coffee oil 不知道你有没有用过。
Anncoo:what is lemon oil?
This is such a pretty cake!
Hi SIS,
I prefer lemon oil because lemon paste got the yellow colouring. Can get this from Phoon Huat or Sunlik. Mind you, this cake is a little too sweet for me even I had reduced the sugar….my family liked this cake.
Thank you, Peachkins.
This is a pretty cake! I wish I know how to bake…it sounds delicious..
Can use lemon paste instead of lemon oil?
Hi Christine,
You can get lemon oil,butter oil and coffee oil only from Ingredients shop. Can use lemon juice and zest instead.
Hi Joyce,
Thank you for finding time to visit me. I think Gugelhupf name is from German meaning ring shaped cake like Bundt pan.
As for the cherry clock, you may to clocklink.com to choose your favourite design.
Hope you have a enjoyable and memorable vacation.

Hi! Ann,
Wow! feel like having one. But lemon oil is new to me, can I get it easily from coldstorage.
I love this pan also as it makes such a pretty looking cake. The cake sounds and looks delicious. I am still on vacation but had to steal a moment for myself and what better way then to read some baking blogs even is I only have a few minutes to look today:) I love your cherry clock on the sidebar.
