Lets talk a little time about this cake..I love baking cakes than eating it..But this is one of the cake which i finished the whole batch all by myself. Believe it or not..I totally loved the texture and taste of this cake. They turned out so moist and so buttery and so rich and a rich yellow colour which was perfect. I enjoyed each mouthful of this cake..I should tell you this is one of yummy cake i have ever tasted in my life..This can be served as  a desert as well. Pour some chocolate syrup over this cake and enjoy it all by yourself..

I hope you love it too and let me know what you think..

    Hi Aarthi,
    This is my first cake and really wanted to let u know a big thx, cos itturned out very nice. Used the same measurements however I see that your cake looks a little bit wet and moist. Mine was soft and dry and tasted like a Tea cake. Is that how it is supposed to taste ?. What can I do if I want it to be little Moist?.
    Can I use this as a base for a birthday cake ?. Also pls let me know after adding flour can I use a hand blender or fold using spatula. I used the hand blender throughout at speed 1. My nxt try is your choclate devil cake :P..
    You are really a star !

    My 13 year old daughter wanted to bake it all on her own without any help from anyone else. I was very doubtful about the end result but I allowed her to do it as learning to cook is a step in the right direction ( and definitely better than sitting on the phone or computer). She found it very easy to make with all those detailed photos and the cake itself was perfect . Your blog has helped my technology obsessed daughter get an interest in cooking, thank you from all of us.
