Skanda's (my nephew) 6th birthday was approaching, and there was a function organized for that. So I took that as an opportunity to bake a cake for him. Since he loves chocolate, I decided on a marble cake (vanilla and chocolate) with chocolate butter cream frosting. Sounds fancy right? :D
This time ditched my oven and used one of Amma's good old reliable griller/cake maker. (forgot the name). The cake came out pretty good and I spent almost an entire evening preparing the icing on the cake! Creaming butter and sugar with a spoon was tiresome! Anyways, the effort was worth it as the kiddo loved it! Even mom, who does not appreciate baked stuff, liked it! Don't have a pic of the cake when it came out of the oven. But there is one with the icing on. It does look amateurish, but hey that's my first attempt ok! Be nice! :-D
And oh! Don't remind me that an 'A' is missing!!
