Grand mom made tomato soup and kothimbir wadi and aloo paratha. The kids had a blast!!

Cake Method:

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degree F

2. Grease a 13*7 inch glass tray with butter or alternatively use the non stick PAM spray. I use an aluminum foil in a glass tray so that its easy to clean later and grease the foil with PAM spray.

3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, add all purpose flour. In the sequence below- add ingredients - sugar, room temperature butter. and eggs.

4, Use hand mixer to mix well.

4. Add vanilla essence and mix well.

5. Add baking powder at end and mix well.

6. Then place cake batter here.

7. Bake for 30-35 minutes on 350 C. The baking times may vary based on your oven. Use a tooth pick and pierce in the middle of the cake pan to check if the cake is done.

Decoration Method:

1. Whip Heavy Whipping Cream and 1 cup confectioners sugar in a bowl over ice until fluffy. I used hand mixer for about 3-5 minutes for this.

2. I now cut the cake finely into rectangle shape in 2 pieces.

3. Place one cake in the bottom. You can now add icing on one cake. Alternatively, drizzled milk on top of it

4. Then spread the cream on top of it.

5. Place another cake on top of it.

6. Repeat steps 4,5

7. Decorate as shown in the pictures or as you like.

8. Chill about 6 to 8 hours.

Enjoy!
