It's the birthday month of the blog and the blogger :)
I know it's not a typical birthday cake recipe, but I love plain cakes! If you ask me they are the bestest!
I've been wanting to bake this cake forever and finally baked it the other day. Though its a no frills cake, it tastes wow!
Just imagine a perfect buttery moist cake with golden crust and tender crumbs that melts into your mouth…it's pure happiness in cake form ;)
You can have it plain or you can dress it up with some custard/whipped cream and berries/fruit compote. Either way it's fab!
MM celebrates 16th birthday this month!! I'm happy that blog has come this long, though there is much scope for improvement ;) Thank You for being a part of MM!!
I do really hope you give this recipe a try and love it like just we did.
