Banana Walnut Cake with Caramel Meringue Buttercream

    Assalamualaikum dan selamat petang semua... Petang ni aku nak update N3 yang tertungak. Dah 3 4 hari aku buat kek ni... Memang sedap baq hang... Sebenarnya aku dah lama teringin nak buat ket yang naked ni. Bukan bogel lucah tau... No, no, nooo... Naked tu maksudnya tak letak krim seluruh kek tu. Cuma letak bahagian tengah atau inti kek dan kat atasnya saja... Yang tepi tu biarkan kosong. Bila tengok kat instagram banyak orang dok tayang kek macam ni... Dah jadi macam satu fenomena jugak laa.. Aku pun teringin jugak nak cuba... Cari punya cari kat google jumpa la resepi ni... Lagi pun aku teringin nak belajar buat meringue buttercream. Dulu dah pernah cuba, tapi tak menjadi. Alhamdulillah kali ni menjadi. Ok la, jom kita tengok resepi kek ni...
