9 months of blogging and my 100th post…feels great. The journey so far has been a learning experience that allowed me to explore and nurture my culinary skills.

Zebra-striped cake made with patterns of vanilla batter and cocoa batter is one of the impressive looking cakes. It looks complicated to make but in fact its very easy to get the patterns.

It’s Christmas time and lots of baking going around which inspired me baking a cake too. After lots of online searches i found my friend Nidhi S Raj’s recipe of Tooti Fruity Cake as the best and worth trying. I followed the original recipe from http://soulandspicebox.com/eggless-tooti-fruity-loaf/. The recipe was precise and easy to follow. As i wanted to try my hands on an eggless version, hence this recipe came out to be the best. Though the original recipe doesn’t have dry fruits but i chose to add some to make it a lil more rich.
