Lamington Cake
This is one cake which was always in my mind for quite a long time..But i totally forget about it as days pass by. But yesterday my dear friend sujitha posted this on her blog, which reminded me instantly. I had all the ingredients on hand and immediately gave it a shot. Modified the recipe to my taste and to my surprise it was like DELICIOUS. Loved it to the core.
I took couple of pieces for me and hubby and packed the whole thing for my sister, because she has been asking me to bake something for her college mates. I am sure they will love it too.
