I saw this recipe on the video and was very much impressed and hence tried it out on my mom's birthday which fell on 2nd oct.It is almost a gift that a daughter can give for her mom who has struggled all through her life to settle the life of a daughter.Always mom is very precious.Anything in this world can purchased but a love of a mother can never be purchased.This can be a good tribute to a lovely mom.This lady has given and given up many things to bring us up so at least we can do something good for her,at least bring a smile on her face!Try this yummy cake for your mom.....(the beloved lady)
