Updated: Oct 29, 2023

My endeavor has been to post recipes that are quick to make, easy to follow so that even new comers to the world of cooking can whip up a storm.

You will notice that my recipes generally are low on oil , using fresh ingredients most of the time. That's so coz I post what I love to eat. These recipes, I cook them all the time for my family.

Here is a delightful dessert (Cake). So soft and light. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I , personally prefer to serve it just like that so it's freshness is not camouflaged.

Use a 9" round cake pan.
