My hubby wanted me to make mawa cake for his colleagues. I had already prepared dry ingredients, Mixed, sieved and ready,,,the night before.
But the mawa i bought had developed some white spots overnight,,,, so discarded the mawa, made few changes to the dry mixture and made mocha cake out of it.
Hubby's friends liked it very much with coffee. So that's how this mocha cake happened 😀😀
