Lele’s allergy to some food additives. The cakes from the store always bring rashes on his face. So I revised the pound cake recipe by using cream cheese instead of half butter.

I am not sure if this cake can be called pound cheese cake, but I think this name is more suitable than any other name. Don’t care about the name. Just make a delicious cake in a every easy way.

Tools:
a handheld blender
a big bowl
measure cups or scale
rubber scraper
loaf pan or angel cake pan

Ingredients:
4 oz (113 g) butter
4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
1 cup (190 g) sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup (160 g) flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoon (50 g) milk

How:

Place an oven rack in the middle level position and preheat oven to 350′ F (180′ C).

Grease the cake pan if your pan is not non-stick.

Mix flour and baking powder in a medium size bowl.

Put butter, cream cheese, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Blender until creamy in consistency. Then add in eggs and continue blender until creamy. Add in flour mixture and milk and mix well using blender. Transfter batter to the cake pan and bake in preheated oven for 40~45 minutes.

Tip: Microwave 15 seconds in high fire before eating.

Variation:

1. You can get cup cake if you use cupcake pan. Don’t forget to shorten the baking time.

2. Put 1 1/2 cup blueberry on the top of the batter, you will get blueberry cake.

3. Put 1 cup nuts on the top of the batter, you will get nut cake.

4. Add more milk, you will get soft cake.

This morning I met Lele’s father. This Lele is not our Lele. He is Lele’s classmate. I talked with the father for a while. I learned they bought a  house at Woodville two years ago. It costs $500,000. They pay back the  bank loan about $2,000 per month. They had to save about $100,000 for the downpay before they bought the house. Both he and his wife work in Microsoft. So they don’t feel hard to pay back the loan. I didn’t have a house dream before since Xudong’s salary cannot support a house. I thought I would find a job this year. Now I am afraid it cannot become true. That is one of reasons that I am not happy. I am trying to change my attitude since I cannot change the fact. I am trying to find a way to make money, but I am depressed easily if I don’t get money soon.

I am a stay-at-home mother. My son has enrolled in a daycare. So we can say I should have a lot of time for myself, at least from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.  I should have time to do anything what I want. The fact is I always feel I don’t have enought time to do what I want to do. The only problem is I lack the time management skill. I know the concept of time management. I tried to follow the principle to execute my plan. But the result is not as good as I expect. So I think I need a cusomized way to use my time more efficiently.
