There are some recipes which you look forward to make and plan ahead and then execute. And then there are a few recipes which just happen and you look back at them in time and thank yourself that you made them.
This is one such recipe which will remain in my memory and of course my ‘make again’ list as its super easy to make, delicious, healthy and it just brought everyone together on the table.
I bake often. And mostly cakes.
“All you need is Love and a little piece of Cake”
Holds true in my case.
And more than me it’s my children who just want to have a Cake to bite on to very often.
“A party without a Cake is just a meeting”…Julia Child.
How True! And it’s a mantra we all follow as a rule. Am sure if you are a cake lover like us, you definitely agree.
A rich, moist, sometimes fancy, prepared with seasonal fruits and local ingredients Cake just completes the dessert table.
Well it also completes my Tea Time! And a light snack with milk for my Kids.
They are more than happy to have a piece of cake with their favorite milkshake and are always looking out for new flavors. One question which is consistent “What flavor next mama“?
So I look out for my next ingredient and of course the combination of fruits and nuts which I can combine to make it a healthy one.
Here’s my next one – Whole-wheat Yogurt and cranberry Cake.
