  1. It was a good cake... the only thing was it was a bit on the dry side.... even though it was not mentioned in the recipe i did moisten the insides on both the layers of cake with milk mixed with about 1 tsp. coffee. Other wise a great recipe. Every one loved it at home... reminded us all strongly of Bombay Bakery back in Hyderabad! =)
    btw thanks for posting this recipe... i will be making it again for sure!
