Sapota/Chikku Milkshake

I have noticed that my son follows a cycle when it comes to drinking milk.....He would gulp down his milk with no fuss for few days; next few days with a litle fuss but still would manage with cornflakes or chocos along with it and finally he would totally refuse it!!! This is when milkshakes come to rescue....I had few home-grown chikkoos with me, which I had brought down when I had gone for holidays.....So, this time the chikkos saved me.....

Moreover, chikko milkshake reminds me of a famous restaurant in Bangalore...I think it was known as Kebab Corner. They were famous for their shawarmas and chikko milkshakes. They had a shop in Jaynagar, which was quite close to our college. We used to go there once in a while to have dinner....They used to serve ice-cold chikko milkshake and it was quite filling tooo!! Ohhhh...how I miss those days....

After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy!

Happy Birthday Princess!!

Yes, the time flew again and she celebrated her 4th birthday with a White Chocolate Cake..... Unlike, the previous years , this year I asked her what cake she wanted for her birthday. And she surprised me saying she needed a white cake, the one which we buy from bakery....Well, I knew what she wanted was a White Forrest cake..... Since, we never preferred a White Forrest Cake, I decided to stick with her choice of a white cake.... And like any other time, Rachel Allen's Cake gave me the exact cake I was looking for.....And so here it is White Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Ganache.....
