Wholewheat Strawberry topped Vanilla cake
The new year has begun and for me its mostly on a celebratory note.
Its the birthday month for half of my family, including me.If that is not enough reason to bake and celebrate every week..the month is interspersed with wedding anniversaries.
Unlike many past years where I promised my soul of many worldly achievements like
I will quit this job and find a better one.
I will lose weight minimum 7 kgs
I will upgrade this to that
I will strive for new friendships and maintaining the existing ones
...... This year I just hope to spread happiness, create love and find more joy in things I do. Intrestingly , there is short cut to achieve all the above in
oneshot.Bake a cake.
I find baking very theraputic and find my nirvana in the oven at times.
When you start baking something, the eagerness and anticipation of your loved ones around, gets you going. When you realise their hopes with a delicious outcome...the cloud of happiness generally envelopes everyone.
Here is one such cake that I baked yesterday...that painted us with the emotion of happiness. I hope you create that happiness ,for yourself and everyone around, when you bake this simple cake. The tart strawberries create pools of jam on the cake surface and compliment the sweet vanilla cake very well...Go ahead..give a try.
