PINK SPONGE CAKE !

Hi All,

CAKES!! The name itself gives me pleasure ..I love cakes of any types! So baking a cake also gives me so much happiness.Whenever I fell depressed or not in a good feel I immediately move to kitchen and will start baking something , baking is like doing meditation to me :) lot of peace to mind :).

I baked this PINK SPONGE CAKE for my husband to celebrate Father’s day.My husband loves rose milk flavor and during summer I use to prepare rose milk frequently,So I thought of surprising him with his favorite flavored cake.I added few drops of rose essence to my normal sponge cake batter and baked this cake.And the cake came out to be too good.. very spongy , soft , fantastic aroma ,color and flavor! Very happy with the results.

On fathers day I gave this cake in my daughters hand and she took it to her father with a fathers day song :) and he was so impressed..Also the next surprise is cake,he loved his favorite flavored cake too.

That’s how the father’s day celebration went happily this year.
