Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera kepada semua... 

Apa khabar hari ni? Doa dan harapan Diana moga semuanya di dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera.. Moga segala urusan hari ni dan hari-hari yang mendatang akan dipermudahkan olehNya.. Syukur di atas segala nikmat dan rezeki yang telah diberikan olehNya.. 

Hari ni Diana ingin kongsikan resipi Billie's Italian Cream Cake yang Diana buat kemarin petang. Baru pagi tadi dapat ambil gambarnya.. Itu pun semasa cahaya tak berapa sesuai untuk ambil gambar nie.. Seawal pukul 6:30 am Diana dah cuba ambil gambar kek ni.. 6:30 am memang bukan masa yang sesuai.. Bila dapati gambar yang kurang elok.. Maka Diana cuba lagi ambil pada pukul 7:00 am.. Barulah dapat gambar yang macam ni.. 

Resipi kek kali ni Diana ikut dari blog The Pioneer Women Cooks.. Kek ni boleh tahan juga rasa.. Keknya tu memang sedap.. Frostingnya sedikit manis pada tekak Diana. Terima kasih kepada Ree @ The Pioneer Women Cooks kerana sudi berkongsi resipi ni... Izinkan Diana kongsikannya di sini pula ya.. Terima kasih..
