Another special treat for the new year Eggless Cardamom Cake Recipe. I made this cake for my hubbys office-mates also they didn’t wanted eggs hence made an eggless version for them. My hubby’s office-mates loved the Eggless Cardamom Cake and it got over very soon. I also loved the taste and aroma of cardamom in this yummy cake. If you love cardamom then this cake is for you 🙂 🙂

However I couldn’t post all the sweets I made as was quite busy making them (: but I will make the rest of sweets in small quantity and post them in due course of time. My hubby loved all cakes especially chaklis and rose cookies as he isn’t so fond of cakes.
Before the network jams and new year comes wish my readers a Happy Newyear. Hope 2013 fulfills all our needs and dreams. I wish my blog does better and gets to a level where I want to 😉
Had been for shopping yesterday and got tired. As it was quite crowded and the clothes were more expensive than the rest of days. Anyways I wanted to buy something ravishing however I bought something which is neat and descent and can be worn anywhere thanks to my hubby for helping me buy stuff. I do like to shop but peacefully and when I want to else it feels frustrating to shop.

Hi Maria,
Just a quick question – when you say home made cream cheese, do you mean paneer?
Thanks.
maria says
Sukhwinder creamcheese is made from paneer but it’s not as firm or solid as paneer. Once you make paneer home just don’t allow it to become dry. Grind the paneer with some whey and store them in the freezer for future use of cakes etc. Hope this helps you 🙂
Sukhwinder says
Thanks Maria. I will try using your method. Happy Easter.
maria says
Thanks Sukhwinder do share your feedback one you make them 🙂
Iffat says
After topping pistachios it looks like a Desert (kheer), soon after baking turned to cake. Instead of Baking Soda can we use Yeast ? please advise. Thanks and Appreciate in advance.
maria says
Thanks Iffat 🙂 haven’t tried yeast while baking cakes hence don’t know how it would be.
