Seeing Bloodbath in Crypto market sometimes made me feel sick so I tried to detach myself from the market by doing something that I enjoy, which is Baking. I love to bake because i love to eat cake and making them felt more satisfying for me than buy them. Moreover, I can make a huge portion of cake and consume it slowly so that can save me some money too!

So this time I would like to share my cake recipe, Cotton Cheesecake!! . It is so soft and delicious that I even made them 3 times already in a course of a week! (well the first time was a failure due to oven problem but that was also delicious!)

Alright before I started, I also wanted to let you know that I joined SteemFollower and because I know that this is  an awesome platform, I would like to recommend you to join me to..you can use my referral link below to register:
