My husband is a huge fan of cakes but I kept postponing telling lame excuses and blaming busy office work. this Christmas I got a gift from my husband with a beautiful electric hand blender and inspired me to try my hands on it.
This cake is dedicated to my husband and I must admit I became huge fan of it too. I am 100% inspired to make many more pastries from this sponge cake.
