This
has been the longest silence ever I guess….Life has been busy but I am not
complaining about it. I like it this way rather than warding of boredom. I spend
most of my weekends baking cakes these days, making peoples life sweeter! Not
doing it professionally yet but with encouragement I get from friends I have a
feeling that I am in the wrong profession !
My FB friends already know that recently
I took part in two Bake off competitions and won prizes in both and I have to say it has
boosted my confidence a lot to try out new recipes and this eggless cake has been
a result of that. So this recipe is for my future reference really. I have
tried few eggless cakes before but was never happy with the results, but this
cake has got a nice texture. It is soft, spongy and light. I don’t have a
picture of cake slice to show you the texture as it was made for a friend for
her hubbys birthday, but she saved a slice for me to taste and I was really
happy with the outcome J
