lights camera action...cake for a dear friend for his 50th birthday. ...i

20/04/2015

I have been craving a simple light sponge cake for some days. But couldn’t quite nail a recipe i wanted to follow. In these days of sugar craft and modelling chocolate , my heart was truly beating to eat a simple cake that I could pop in my mouth the moment i laid my eyes on it and not spend five minutes peeling of the sugar over dose. So, In the midst of a hot weather, my body temp hot from fever and throat inflammation, and making a hot and spicy CKP Style crab curry. (Oh i ll write about my experience to the Andheri Fish market in another post. ). I was still undecided by afternoon. Then as if by magic I remembered a Hot Milk Sponge Cake recipe I had seen. Christ! Do u get it, all along I had clues. Remember the common word ”hot” in the weather, curry etc. Life always gives us clues as answers, but we don’t get it, right?
So here you have it. My version of the Hot Milk Sponge Cake made with Whole Wheat Flour , scaled down sugar and only 57 grams butter, is blissful with a cuppa tea. True to its name, hot milk with melted butter is folded into whipped egg and sugar mixture to get that perfect yellow sponge and golden crust...My tea is long over but I can’t stop at one piece...M a happy girl...

Rustic Black Forest Cake - My Own Twisted Version

Planning my little angel's birthday parties has been like experiencing labor pains time and again every year. Ask me, I have been tolling for 14 years. With a large family the parties are always divided into 2, So its Double Mazza for her and double Trouble for me.

So now , for the party with her Maternal Side on Sunday afternoon, i had to decided which cake should be made .I had some Maraschino Cherries sitting on the counter and immediately Black Forest it was going to be. OK!!, Obviously after the teenager's approval. Ya ya,i hear you say BFC have been part of India cake culture for years. But, this one is with my twist - Brandy added to the Cherry Syrup and the leftover Homemade Almond Toffee Crunch Scattered in between the layers with cherries. Gutes essen!! ( I think it means Enjoy your food in German)

"A child gives birth to a mother and father". Our daughter Shanaia truly epitomises this expression and leads us thru this life so beautifully. On her 14th birthday she chooses a Erin Bakes design and her favourite flavour from the inhouse "bakery"- Whole wheat chocolate Mousse cake with Almond Toffee Crunch.

Chocolate Mousse Layer Cake. A Lovely Whole Wheat Cake layered with Chocolate Expresso Mousse , filled with a yummy homemade Coconut Praline crunch and finished with a Bittersweet Chocolate Glaze.

This cake will always be special to me. Made this on my last day at CA India or maybe my first day as a entrepreneur. I don't know if I ate more cake because I was going to miss all my friends at CA (sniff sniff )or just because it was yummy. My little one could wait to cut it..while I was struggling to get the pictures.

So dedicating this cake to all the lovely CA team that made the 17 yrs journey a "cake walk"...

I decided to participate in one too, except except, i did a baking marathon --So, I put on my baking gear and just baked baked and baked ; brownies , muffins , gluten free cake , cookies and ragi and almond biscotti ( i forgot to click a picture of the Biscotti).
