Shitake Mushrooms and Onion Focaccia and Apple Almond Crumble Cake

Yesterday I attended a class for these 2 items. This is my first time learning from this instructor and I find his teaching very fast and definitely not suitable for beginners.  He seems to be in really bad mood too (as though his boss own his a few months salary!). Anyway, I find them not too bad, especially the Focaccia, the olive oil added a nice fragrant to it. I always find olive oil and bread is a perfect marriage.  

As for the Apple Almond Crumble Cake, I find it a little to the sour side (I admit I've got a sweet tooth).  Maybe I will change it to a mango version? Hehe...  But the crumble is very crispy and it can be used on apple pie as well.

After my two failed attempts on chiffon cake after attending Aunty Yochana's class, she is kind enough to coach me again. This is the result:

Light and fluffy... This is how a chiffon cake should be! Really happy! Hope I can still achieve this texture when I next try, purely sole. Haha!  She even gave me some banana cakes and pastry she made. She is such a sweet lady. I am looking forward to my next class with her this weekend.
