Frankly speaking, Truffles are not on my baking list today. I am supposed to bake an Apple Oats Cake instead! Oh well, I trusted a wrong recipe from a website & end up with a 'not so pretty, dry & hard' cake. I am very disappointed & angry with the cake I had on hand. What am I supposed to do with it then? Throw away? No way! Doesn't it sounds wasteful especially with the flour prices increasing now? I forced myself to ingest 2 small pieces of the cake for my breakfast. Hmm.. the taste is quite good though despite the fact that it is dry & hard.
Guess what? I immediately thought of Eelin (from the batter baker) who once told me that she will always turn her not so satisfactory cakes into truffles to prevent food wastage. That's really a brilliant idea! I hopped over to her blog & searched recipe for truffles & even asked her for tips through MSN about the making of truffles.
