I love hosting contests and giveaways, so that I can send some cool gifts to my readers and make them happy. The Valentine’s contest that I had hosted was a big hit, surprisingly so many of my readers participated and I was overwhelmed to know that many actually try my recipes. I felt extremely happy to see all the pictures clicked by my readers.\u00a0I had been thinking of hosting the next one and somehow it got postponed. Today, I thought less and acted more and so started making the banner. Yes, it’s going to be Eid contest and giveaway. All you have to do is to share your favorite family recipes along with a picture on my website, you could submit the recipe here<\/a>.

It had been a while since I had baked a cake, the reason for not baking is due to sheer laziness. Today, I told my man that I wanted to make Boston cream pie topped with ice cream and whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup. My man without a second thought replied ” a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”. I was surprised to hear this and this made me pause for a while. Then he added: “You better have that ready, I am waiting”. Now, that’s my man! Well, I wasn’t that excited about making the Boston cream pie, I was more excited about making a light and fluffy cake.<\/p>\n

Whole cinnamon has been widely used in Indian cooking for making savory dishes, in fact one of the ingredients in Garam masala is cinnamon. However, ground cinnamon wasn’t used much in making desserts in India, while in India I had never had a cinnamon cake or any pastry that had cinnamon in it. After I moved to the US, I found that ground cinnamon is widely used in making desserts here: cinnamon rolls<\/a>, cinnamon cake, cinnamon pastry, the list is endless. I couldn’t resist the aroma and the flavor imparted by ground cinnamon to the desserts, I instantly fell in love with it. I had tried cinnamon rolls<\/a> and a few other desserts that called for ground cinnamon. Today, I made this easy to make, light and yummy cinnamon cake. This is a perfect cake to serve along with coffee or tea, the cake just melts into your mouth.<\/p>\n
