Mum's Magic

After  three months of constant studying,living on crappy mess food, surviving through a month long exams, am back home for 2 months vacation. Nothing better than mom's food to help recover post exam fatigue :P And my sweetheart  mom has pampered me to no end !!! :)
 I get my love for cooking from her and this time she took it to a whole new level! She outdid herself trying to make new things for me.

Milkshakes, falafel, pizzas, burgers, kebabs, biryani oh the list can go on(all home made)

Carrot Milkshake

Carrot Milkshake

I hated carrots as a kid. No amount of coaxing,scoldings by my mother could make me eat carrots. then one day she made  me drink this milkshake saying its mango. after that i never said no to carrot milkshake. (Oh I still hate any sabzi made with carrots!! :P)

this rich, creamy milkshake with all the goodness(vitamin A,Fibres) of carrots is super easy to make

Super Moist Vanilla Sponge Cake

Who doesn't love a good ol' slice of cake? Now a perfect sponge cake should be light,fluffy,moist and soft. Bangaloreans would know about Variar Bakery who makes the most amazing sponge cake I've had which is how my love for sponge cake started.
I am a sucker for these cakes either plain or topped with stuff like caramel sauce and whipped cream, chocolate sauce(even better with nutella), ice cream or even condensed milk. I personally love a warm slice with nutella. yum!!

This is the final recipe my mother came up with after tweaking and twisting the numerous recipes she came across and the final out come was this amazing super moist  cake.

Chocolate variant can be made by adding coco powder and a little instant coffee to the same ingredients. I like to add a little extra of both to give it an intense, deep chocolate flavour that is truly decadent. You can even make a frosting of your choice for this.
