This recipe was given to me by a dear aunt who is my mom's neighbour. It was her who really made me fell in love with baking. She taught me to bake this cake way when I was still a teenager. My mom was working then unlike her, who was by then a retired teacher. Thank you auntie from the bottom of my heart...
I have given this recipe to many of my friends. The reason it is a hit is definitely due to its real simple method to prepare. This is also the very recipe I use with all the birthday cakes that I bake & used to sell.
