Eggless Custard Powder Cake

Cake - the word means party and celebration... Until recently where I am making cakes or tea cakes or snack cakes which do not have frosting and are mildly sweet. This is perfect for evening tiffin, to take to travel, have as a breakfast or give for your kid's lunchbox.. I got this recipe from here. This cake has a beautiful light yellow color and the tutti frutti in it makes it even more attractive.
