Hi friends, I'm trying something after a break of almost 2 months. It is nice to be back and be among you all.
I just wanted try a chocolate cake for little one, but then after the break forgot to get baking powder. So tried this recipe and it came out well. I had to cut it when it was just out of the oven as the big and small stomachs couldn't wait any longer. So it was very moist during the snap session. Do try
