Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never
been hurt and dance like no one is watching.

No- this
blog has not died yet. At least, not as of now. And Yes, I Know it’s been a
while since I posted.
A lot
happened since the last cake that I baked, and it’s almost after a month and a
half that I baked something today. And while going through the camera, I found
this. I realized that I must post this wonderful cake that I had baked early on
for a New Year celebration, simply because it looks so pretty. Also, it being Valentine’s, which I’m not
really much of a believer in- This cake is perfect for those who would want to
indulge in the reds and strawberries and the chocolate. I adapted the Sponge Recipe from Passionate AboutBaking- one of my favourite blogs, and did the icing myself from a unique trial
and test that I have done over the years. A must try, very simple to bake, this cake disappears
sooner than one would imagine- the cousins for whom it was made, finished it within 24 hours. Serve it with some whipped cream or a scoop of Vanilla
or simply have a slice by itself.
Most often, despite
the troubles, it is only the simple things that add joy to our life.
