Yummy!!! I just wanted to try this or I can say I decided to give a try when I saw this cake recipe in Shilpa's blog Aayi's Recipes. You can find step by step procedure here. Though I also taken photos step by step, Iam not posting it because complete credit goes to her. Thank you shilpa for sharing such an easy and very tasty cake recipe. Every body at my home and one of my friends also loved this cake a lot:-)) Those who did not give a try yet..do give!!..Trust me friends its real tasty. My friend and my family members could not believe that it was made with sooji( ravva). I gave my touch to this cake by decorating it with vanilla and chocolate Betty Crocker's frosting cream also I used 2 long bananas instead of three which is in actual recipe. Next time Iam going to try with three bananas. Still the result was tooo yummy!!


Steps For Icing or Decoration:
-----------------------------------------
I was quite much inspired by the cake preparation and respective designs on the cake from Archana's blog. Do check , different cakes in her blog...you will just love them all. Not much like her, since I have some idea of preparing cakes which I did some in my childhood and learned from my mother. To name few of them..Pineapple cake, Chocolate cake, Vanilla cake..etc. Now since this generation is in weight reducing race (in which Iam one among them:-) we are avoiding lot of sweets and cakes. But they become exceptional on festivals or birthdays:-)) Iam Happy!!! So away from weight reducing race for some time, I did this cake ......

1. I used Heavy Dark Chocolate frosting to cover the whole cake except base. Since it is very heavy I did not use for writting up or designing on the cake.
2. For that designing and writting up, I used The Lightest & Fluffiest Whipped Vanilla Frosting.
3. To give a lovely touch to the heart on the cake , I used a small piece of straw berry(You can see in the above pic)
4. Finally, to give some colors, I used some colorful candiles (Irrespective of any age group, which you can do a/c to the occassion and age group)
5. Once the cake is cut, that final small piece was very delicious to eat

Note: Do any icing or decoration on the cake only after it cools down to the room temperature. I did after half-an-hour. And I, my family members and my friends could enjoy the cake for next 3 days. It was yummy all over:-)) Enjoy cakes in this beautiful festive mood..coming days are thanks giving and christmas celebrations...In advance Happy Thanks Giving and Merry Christmas to all my readers and friends.Enjoy!!

Sweet Made with Whole Wheat Bread and Banana

Wish You A Very Very Happy Dassera!! to all my readers and to my fellow blogger friends. I wish a very good and peaceful life to all of us. After a week Iam back with a sweet dish, made for this festival. Also this is my entry for Jihva for Ghee and Butter for this month october declared by Cooking Medley. Iam bit late to post this as far as jihva for october month. Since, today is the festival Iam able to blog today.I hope she will accept this entry. Thank you!!!

1. Mash banana and keep aside.
   
2. Make small pieces of bread slices and fry them till brown in color in 2 tsp of ghee in a wide non stick pan. Make sure they are not burned. Keep them a side.
   
3. In the same pan add 1/2 cup of sugar to the 3 cups of milk and water as mentioned in the ingredients.
4. Allow milk to boil. Once it starts boiling, add mashed banana and mix well. Allow to cook for few minutes.
5. Now add bread pieces to it and allow to boil. Since bread absorbs milk fast, overflowing of milk from the container can be avoided soon by just keeping it open till the bread absorbs the milk.
6. After that, cover the pan and allow to cook on medium heat.
7. Meanwhile, prepare for garnishing the dish. Heat 1 or 2 tsp of ghee in a small different container, and fry all the nuts and rasins till they turn light brown in color and keep them aside.
8. It took 25 minutes for me to cook this dish. Cook till the halwa separates from the container. Just before removing from the heat add all fried nuts and raisins along with ghee into this halwa and mix well.
9. In between cooking time, do mix the halwa frequently to avoid any burning.

Note: Serve this dish warm in cold wheather or cook when you are watching an intresting movie and want to have this halwa. Hope you will all like as I did very much:-))
