After a  long gap I am with a interesting post. After enjoying Christmas vacation, I didn't update any recipes in my blog but making and clicking the pictures. Me and my husband had a great time in venice and rome. It took so many days for me to stick to my routine work after coming to home.But as usual  I was trying new dishes ... enjoying clicking and eating... 

    Day before yesterday I tried this cake. it came out very well. My mom made this cake  when she visited my chiti 's home. All were saying that  the cake was awesome. And  especially the kiddos enjoyed a lot. By hearing these comment i too wanted to try this. But when i made that cake  for the first time, the outer color was perfect, but the center of the cake was Gooey. I didn't know where i did the mistake. So i wanted to try another time to get the perfect one. ya..this time I succeed . The texture was perfect. The aroma was awesome. My husband loved it like anything, he was surprised how I got this texture without egg. And  he asked me to buy any backing utensils as his gift for the wonderful cake I made.

Here is the recipe... It is a foolproof recipe. without any fear follow the measurement and instructions. I am sure that you will get a wonderful cake . Come on...Give a try and surprise your loved ones...

See how beautiful the texture is!!!

Notes:

• Dont melt the butter. The butter should be in room temperature. 
• Make sure that milk and condensed milk are in room temperature.
• If you found your cake is browning at the edges and center is not cooked properly, dont worry.Take aluminium foil, prickle some holes, cover the backing tray with this foil, and bake it again  for 10 -15 mins. Now the center will be cooked well. and edges will not brown further.
