Almonds Dates Payasam / Badam Khajoor Kheer

Payasams are so much versatile and they bring festive delights and celebrations when made.. I made this payasam from here and we all loved it. Payasams and sweets are every kid's love (yeah though most kids prefer Pizza and Pasta now a days) and am happy to share this in this month's BM for Kid's delight. You can adjust the amount of sugar and dates according to preference. You can also use regular white sugar or light brown sugar if you cannot find the cane sugar or the nattu sakkarai.

Eggless Chocolate Cupcake

Cupcakes are small cakes made and these cakes are so soft and so moist and are full of chocolate flavor and taste. I got this recipe from a few websites and made changes according to our taste and preference. The rich and deep chocolate color comes from the Dutch Processed cocoa. If you used regular cocoa powder, the color could be much lighter. Cupcakes are everybody’s favorite and it is a recipe that surely is a kid’s delight. I am sending this to BM for Kid’s delight – Desserts.

Eggless Cauldron Cakes

Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013

You learn so many new things daily... one such learning was this new type of cake. This is designed with the Harry Potter Theme... When Gayathri announced this cake for the Eggless Baking Group challenge, it looked very exciting and it was like food modeling. We were designing the chocolate cupcake to look like Cauldron ( a large metal pot) from the Harry Potter. When my daughter saw the cupcake, she shouted with excitement - handbag cupcake!!!! Yes she is too small to watch Harry Potter and to her it is Handbag cupcake and we all liked that name!!!!
