♥...Friday Food Review ~ Eggless Chocolate Cake, 4th recipe!...♥

Image
Hi friends...Happy Friday to All!!! I baked an Eggless Chocolate Cake again yesterday. Spread chocolate ganache and chilled overnight. Gave some to my son for his break time in school today. I'm aware of his craze for chocolates, that's why I added choc chips in the batter and choc rice over the ganache. Hehe... Being an addict to eggless choc cakes, I too liked this cake. Truly chocolatey, delicious and spoon licking good!  I bookmarked the recipe at Veg Bowl quite some time back. The foodie, Ms Mallika has one lovely, yummylicious Vegetarian food blog. She posts variety of dishes, cakes and desserts, made vegan way! Do stop by her blog and drool at her excellent food presentation and photographs... A good friend of mine, Kak Roz from HomeKreations had also baked this cake and given her verdict.

Hi friends, good day to all!! First of all, lemme thank all of you for your loveliest birthday wishes to my Hubby! Hope every wishes and blessings come true for him and us!!! Sorry, am not posting any food today... This year Thaipusam falls on 20th January..ie tomorrow! Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February). Lord Muruga is the main deity of Thaipusam. Celebrated nationwide in Malaysia, government declared Public Holiday for some states here, and Selangor is one of them! In Batu Caves , Penang and Ipoh , Thaipusam is celebrated in the grandest manner starting off with chariot processions a day before. Devotees will perform their spiritual offerings to Lord Muruga by carrying kavadis and milk pots after 48 days of fasting and prayers on Thaipusam. The number of devotees and visitors thronging these famous temples during Thaipusam is unbelievable! Don't be surprised if you get

♥...Lemon Yoghurt Muffin & Pongal wishes from Love2cook...♥

I've been baking muffins quite often now. Passed few trials with delicious results...a few with little disappointments. But that did not stop me from "muffining"! Hahaha... Was eager to bake some muffin as per my fellow blogger-friend's recipe, but unfortunately I did not have the main ingredient in stock! Too lazy to shop for it, I changed mind and baked Lemon Yoghurt Muffin instead. I sticked to this recipe after 2 trials and some adjustments to fit our taste buds. I must say that I have a soft corner for lemons ever since the Lemon Butter Cake happened! I did try some other similar recipes too... Now back to the muffin. Combination of yoghurt and lemon gives great oomph. I baked them a little longer to get the crusty top! I loved it... Check out the recipe to know more... LEMON YOGHURT MUFFIN by love2cook Ingredients :~ 220gm all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp baking soda 160gm sugar a pinch of salt 1 egg 3/4 cup plain yoghurt ( U
