Live dont just exist!

Exams, Constitution, One hour and a cake.

Its raining cats and dogs, and no i dint step into a Poodle, infact i havent stepped out of the house in more than 48 hrs, really, havent even gone to the terrace, and that doesn’t mean I was studying or anything, coz I wasn’t, infact I spent a lot of that time watching Disney channel. (Yea I still watch Disney)

I have the whole of this month off, do u believe it, I mean I can just hang around, do nothing and while away time for the entire MONTH! Those who ve read my posts know how my college conducts exams, well we have loads of holidays and a few exams in between, this time we have 3 exams and I haven’t studied a thing, well ok I have studied a bit but then not much, I just shopped, partied, and had fun, and celebrated Pooja.

Well it’s pouring outside, and Ammuma has a terrible cough and it’s really sad to see an old person suffering because even a small cough becomes a catastrophe when it hits the aged. And to bring about a smile on her tired looking face I baked a special cake for her, she seems a bit better today but still looks really tired.

And I thought I l post a really easy cake here, it just takes around an hour to make it but is yummy, infact I discovered this cake quite late and made ‘difficult’ cakes that dint taste as good but required twice the time and effort.

To make this ‘one hour cake’ you need to go shopping first, of course all good things start with shopping for it, like Diwali and Onam. Now when you shopping for the cake remember to buy all of the listed things

Shopping list

White sugar (Powdered) – 1 cup

½ Cup Butter

2 Eggs

2 Teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ Cups Flour (Maida)

1 ¾ Teaspoons Baking powder

½ Cup Milk

One Street Wear Super Gloss Lip gloss

Ok, you can skip the gloss if you want but then all my shopping lists have a brand new lip-gloss so I thought I d put it in anyway. You can also buy a few pots, pans, and forks if you have none at home, but then presuming you do lets talk about what you should do once you get home.

Now that you are home and have tried out your new Gloss,

-Preheat oven to 175 Degrees C (350 Degrees F)

-Grease and dust your cake tin/ pan

-In a moderately big bowl, cream together the sugar and butter, beat the eggs one at a time in another bowl and add them to this, then stir in the vanilla.

-Add the flour and baking powder to this creamy mixture and mix well, finally stir in the milk*, beat for at least 5 minutes until the batter is smooth.

-Pour the batter into the prepared pan

-Bake for 35- 40 minutes in the preheated oven.

-Your cake is done ; you can also practice your icing skills on this.

*You may need more than ½ cup but then in most cases you wont, if you feel your batter is too tight add some more milk.
