Friends, I think you have noticed that I did not post any baked item in my blog so far because I was not having OTG in my home.Yesterday My hubby brought a new OTG for me seeing my passion for cooking.. It was really a pleasant surprise for me.Today morning I thought of inaugurating that by preparing any dish on that and so I started with making the simplest form of a cake using available ingredients left in my kitchen as I couldn't resist myself anymore from trying my culinary experiments on that. I usually make this type of cake in pressure cooker but it came out so nice in OTG that I got impressed by its spongy look and lovely taste and I succeeded in giving my hubby the first oven baked cake. He loved it very much. So this recipe is definitely dedicated to my dear hubby. Thanks a lot dear .. Happy Valentines day.
