Seriously suffering from the lazy blogger syndrome , I have wanted to blog and have stared at the blogger template with my mind wandering...but my fingers JUST weren't moving!
Almost like they were just taking a break.Protesting because of finger fatigue.
Actually,the brain totally comprehends.
Wonder if it is because of the constant racket caused the loud speakers blaring the music in honour of Maa Durga , she is the reason we celebrate Navratri.
In that case it should be ear fatigue,right?But the fingers still don't comply.
It has taken me another two days...
After many requests and a profile photo change....
The days of fasting are over , now we feast.
And tell you how to go about baking an egg free cake the nth time over.
And to tell you that this is a different cake.
Yeah..I know...different!
It was so moist.A cake that does not taste like a desi mithai...actually tastes of cake, and you cant tell it is made of oil...Sweet child's discerning palette rejects oil cakes...that is the reason for all the butter cream frosting.
And so easy.
New friends in town, one with a son who is allergic to egg. More than religious sentiments, the health factor is of greater importance...so as far as we can help it...egg less it will be.
This is my mums old ,old recipe,turns out that this recipe is from Nita Mehta.Quite similar to my recipe from the Egg free/Egg less Tiramisu.
I have no idea if this is the same or modified, or the same as the original.
But I do know that the result ,added to the butter cream frosting( which some kids were trying to lick off before the birthday girl got to the cake)was AwESoME!!
If I may say so myself.
There were NO leftovers...very few second helpings, and a sullen sweet child.Only because he did not get a slice of cake before the other kids....
Children...
And then sweet sister complains about the tantrums baby Sanskriti throws....
