My son is born with sweet tooth. Yes, he loves sweets, cakes, ice-creams, choclates, sugar. Anything edible which is sweet is of his interest. Since infancy, he has had a strong penchant for sweets. The next thing I did as his mother is learn how to bake cakes. Be it Chrismas, New Year, or any random day, I bake this cake which vanishes within hour of its making.
This recipe is for 1/2 kg cake. (adjust given quantity as per you your baking container. Reduce quantity if the conatiner is small or else it will lead to overflow.)
