Belated Mothers day dear readers :).Baked this Pure chocolatey cake yesterday on the occasion of Mothers day and to welcome my sonny boy who is returning from UAE today.Well,Sanju didn’t have patience to wait until this morning,so the cake was already cut before Praths reached home.Well not to forget to mention,even I was very tempted to test the texture and the taste. Sanju gave full marks and that is more than enough. Sanju says I search reasons to bake cake,do I ?Again this cake recipe was in my to do list and I’m happy that it turned out super good.I adapted this recipe from my favourite baker friend Divya Kudua’s blog and when I choose her recipe I can simply close my eyes and bake.Yes we don’t have to worry of the outcome,it will be simply perfect. Divya you are right, anybody can reach into a chocolate nirvana by eating this.The cake cutting ceremony was done again for the second time this morning by Praths this morning.Happy we 🙂
