I saw this recipe on facebook (it was made and shared by a spanish woman- and i cant remember her name…am feeling totally fustrated) and it fascinated me. It was a yogurt cake with strawberry topping and was totally EGGLESS!!! I was happy and asked my family if they would eat the cake if i baked it ( they cant see beyond chocolate or saffron cakes) and i was told NOT to bake it!! My fascination continued so i asked some of my followers on facebook if they were prepared to try a recipe for me and some agreed. Well Sajna Basant of Bangalore made this cake acording to the recipe and sent me the pic. Thank you soo much Sajna… i cant take credit for it , except for the fact that i came across the recipe. I cant even rememeber the name of the spanish lady and i am feeling so bad. Once i get to know i shall credit the recipe to her. Meantime talking about the recipe. Sajna Basant gave it her own twist…topping it with chocolate sauce instead of strawberry jam!! So now we have two versions!!! Its eggless….and butterless, oiless but in the LEAST TASTELESS!!!!!!!!!!! So thank you Sajna for making it and thank you whoever who actually put up the recipe…And…you all can thank me when you do try it out !!”wink wink”!! Pinky Nagdev…my sweetie do try this out 🙂
