Cake House

I am glad that I have reached a milestone with this 100th post. I thought this is the perfect post for celebrations and a perfect sweet post to celebrate Diwali.  All though I am still considered as a “newbie” in blogging, I have come so far in my blogging world.  With this blogging I have found very supportive blogging friends from different parts of the world, a level of confidence which I was lacking in cooking, my food photography skills have improved a lot (still I am struggling to get the best shot ..), I have become better in my day-to-day cooking and always trying different varieties of cuisine and experimenting them on my poor Husband and my sweet li’l cutie pie:). I am really thankful to all of you, for all the support, love and care you all have shared with me. Thanks a lot for all your encouraging comments. And another happy news to share with all of you is that my little space will turn 1 within a week. I am all excited and looking forward for my blog’s birthday....

You all might know from my previous posts that for each and every bit of cooking I would call my mom or my MIL for help. This dish I learnt from my friend, whom I met here and who cooks perfect Kerala dishes. I didn’t know that a wonderful tangy and tasty curry can be made out of amara...

H ello my dear friends, I am back from Kerala after a short vacation. Had a lovely time there, enjoyed a lot and now with a lot of holiday hangover, I am back to my daily routine. In the meanwhile, I tried making this apple cake, which is very easy to prepare and bakes quickly. This will be loved by all, as my parents who does not have too much of a sweet teeth also loved this and were not stopping with one or two. I grew up eating the vanilla cake which my mom used to make and in those days, there was not much of such special fruit cake preparations.  Recently, as there were so many apples left over at home,  I thought of giving it a try and made this as I had a recipe ready in hand. This is a very easy and simple cake within minutes. Apple cake is a popular dessert in which the main ingredient is of course, apple. In this, various spices such as nutmeg powder or cinnamon powder can be added which gives the cake an unique flavor. Ingredients: Apple (washed and diced)- 1cup Al...

Will be back soon with more recipes for you...
