ORANGE JAGGERY DATES CAKE

 ORANGE JAGGERY DATES CAKE ( used my air fryer and the microwave )
Oranges, jaggery and dates are rich sources of  vitamins and minerals , thus boosting our immunity and general health . These three ingredients are the stars of this healthy and delicious cake , proving it wrong that ' healthy food ' can't be tasty
Air fryer _ pre heat 180 degree celcius for 5 minutes
Baking time 18- 20  minutes
Baked it for  15 minutes in the air fryer . However,on checking with a tooth pick to see if it was done, I felt it needed  to be given some more time .
  So  microwaved the cake for 3_4 minutes more .

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish .
