Hi all I always wanted to try baking a cake at home. This was my first cake. Its a plain Vanilla cake. It was not a bad attempt at all. Because i was scared how it will turn out to be. One of my friend by name sheeja said that i can tell that it is a pudding if its too soft and biscuit if its too hard. But it turned out right. Thanks Ramya akka (she was my senior in college) for the recipe.
