It was a bright and cheerful morning when Thuy decided she wanted to try something new—baking a cake! But not just any cake. She wanted to make a simple, healthy one using sweet potatoes and flour, just like her grandmother used to make back home.
“Lala!” Thuy called out to her best friend, a clever and helpful little bunny with soft white fur and big curious eyes. “Will you help me bake a sweet potato cake?”
Lala twitched her ears excitedly and hopped into the kitchen. “Of course! Let’s get started!”
Together, they gathered the ingredients: mashed sweet potatoes, rice flour, a pinch of salt, a spoonful of honey, and a splash of coconut milk.
Thuy smiled. “This is an old family recipe. It’s simple but really delicious!”
Lala nodded, already mixing the sweet potatoes and flour in a big bowl. “It smells so sweet already!”
They stirred, mashed, and mixed until the batter was smooth and thick. Thuy greased a small pan, and Lala helped her pour the batter in, smoothing the top with a spoon.
Then came the best part—waiting. As the cake steamed over the stove, the kitchen filled with a warm, cozy aroma that made both their tummies rumble.
“Do you think it’ll be good?” Thuy asked, peeking under the lid.
“I know it will,” Lala said confidently. “Because we made it together.”
Finally, the cake was ready. Golden on top, soft inside, with the gentle sweetness of sweet potatoes and a hint of coconut. Thuy took a bite and her eyes lit up.
“Mmm! Just like Grandma’s!”
Lala clapped her paws happily. “Let’s make this again sometime!”
From that day on, baking became a favorite weekend activity for Thuy and Lala. Their sweet potato cake wasn’t just a treat—it was a reminder of tradition, friendship, and the joy of making something simple with love.
