Three layered mava cake

REPUBLIC DAY SPECIAL 🇮🇳
THREE LAYERED MAVA CAKEThis is actually a basic cake batter with some khoya thrown in. The flavor of mava , carrots,dates and nuts make a perfect combination with a piping hot cup of coffee or tea on a cold chilly day . I  used left over store bought khoya  after making gajar halwa ( carrot pudding), another winter delicacy , to make this cake. It not only added flavor to the cake but also made it soft and spongy . Now over to the ingredients and the  recipe . Hope you will try it and treat your family and friends with a delightful creation just like I did .

Microwave mayonnaise mug cake

MICROWAVE MAYONNAISE MUG CAKE When I saw the recipes of mayonnaise cake/ cupcakes/ mug cakes on mobile , I was shell shocked . Never had heard of mayo in Cakes . Then I browsed through more recipes n also read the comments section . I was surprised that it's been done since the world war when commodities like eggs and milk were rationed . The mayo substituted for these . I wanted to bake this cake . But the hitch was mayo . First issue was would eggless mayo work for the recipe . The second problem was the taste .
