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.
