Yummly
It’s been two months since I have baked a cake and that is because my oven is playing pika boo with me . After resting for 1 month in the workshop last week I got my oven back . Tuesday was my In laws marriage anniversary and I want to bake a cake . As oranges are seasonal so I tried my hand for an orange cake . While I was looking for an eggless recipe I found this recipe on the back side of our astrology calendar . This calendar have lots of recipes and I always bought it every year just for the sake of getting more recipes.
Finally I baked the cake and immediately after the cake is done that oven again started giving a beep sound. Gosh ! It is down again and I don’t think this time it will by any chance get fixed. It seems I have to buy a new one and I am thinking for an OTG. Hope everything works out as planned. All right coming to the cake , I sent this cake over my In laws place and they liked it so much . Out of generosity I didn’t want to cut the cake as it was for them . But for a single click I cut a slice took a pic and insert the slice back to it’s place. And I was thinking Omg ! how far we can go for the clicks . Well I am sending this cake to +srivalli jetti ‘s CCChallenge . So let’s start the recipe . Yum
