Never Fail Cake

This cake is so true to its name.. it never ever ever fails! 


Amma & me have made this cake countless times in varying quantities - most often in bulk ..ha..ha.. 

Well, this was our hostel cake. It was more of a tradition which started off with a chocolate cake that I took to college after my holidays & everyone loved it so much that everytime I had to had to get the cake on my return. Infact my classmates would wait for me to get back to pounce on the cake.  So this was Amma & my favourite cake to bake simply cos it was easy and it tastes nice and moist and never fails! Amma was famous in Chetta and my college/hostel as the Cake Aunty and I'm not surprised about this, cos she really bakes a hell lot of cakes and all of them are exceptionally great. 


That's probably where my interest to cooking started , with baking. Thanks Amma for that - I hope that I turn out to be half as good as you in the kitchen and off :)


Anyways, here is the recipe :
Never Failing Cake :

I have done a ganache on the cake and decorated it with some sprinkles. Its this beautiful recipe that I got from Joy of Baking, one among my favorite sites and its nice and detailed too.
