Looks great Archana! I’ll take it with the vanilla ice cream scoop:) I recently baked this, but added persimmon fruit to it, and also some spices for flavor. This is a regular in our house too:)
Very interesting, Adding spices to a cake is my favorite thing to do as well.
Nice recipe. Will try it.
wow archana. today i made first cake of my life and it was very very good.thanx a lot to you.i will also try other cakes.
Hey thanks anu. For other readers. She actually baked the cake in a microwave as she did not have a traditional oven and it was done in 5 minutes. I could not believe it. I tasted the cake and the texture was just as when baked in a normal oven.
