Rich Chocolate Coffee Cake



















It was one of those weekends again, eggs in the fridge, bottle of essence lay untouched for a while.. and I thought, well maybe it's time to attempt a cake. Now this was a few weeks ago.. before I made an awesome discovery.. but that will have a post on it's own.. titled, the most amazing baking thing to ever ever happen to me.. but for now, the star of this post.
As always..recipe is found here:


Changes made
1. Since I only had baking powder at home, I used 3 teaspoons of baking powder.
2. Replaced brewed coffee with instant coffee of my favorite kind- Colombian Coffee from Bru. Remember to not add milk, and you're alright.
3. Had some pumpkin seeds from the time I turned vegan, so I sprinkled some over the top after toasting it for 3 mins in a hot conventional oven. Ofcourse you could just do this over the stove in a heavy bottomed pan..
The cake turned out delicious but a little dry.. the secret to making it as awesome as the recipe intended would have to be the next post.. the one on measurements... (I found the baking holy grail!!).


So to fix it I creamed Amul Cream, some vanilla essence, icing sugar and dark rum to make something that tasted similar to Baileys Irish Cream. The measurements, in all honesty, are as you please.. so feel free to experiment. Froze it and topped it on the coffee/chocolate cake :) and it made smiles happen :)

When he started his journey, it was the soles of his feet that were in contact with the ground, but now as he pulled himself closer to the station, it was his whole body. His elbows were scraped, bloody and fresh scab peeled bled out to leave a trail of red on the wicked hot dusty ground of pain and suffering. All around him slow moving bodies crawled towards the direction of hope, all along leaving patterns of blood, sweat, skin and pus. These bodies had seen civil wars, droughts, genocide and lived to tell a tale of a people who now belonged to a nation listed as one of the poorest countries in the world. This is now, but before the list, was a struggle of massive proportions, under reported and quietly hidden

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . The Temple Widow A narrow dirt path, generously peppered with tiny pebbles, tiny miniatures of their gargantuan ancestors, leads to a bridge. It hangs, rickety and old. Old but not well used, old like abandoned and not frequently used. The bridge hangs low over a small stream that slowly gurgles past, happy unlike those that visit the place. The bridge leads to a temple. It is not very big, only perhaps the size of a small hut and at the most the size of an average temple hall. The temple has no deity; the temple has no one corner that doesn’t look like the other. It is clean, well swept, and empty. It has no furniture, and excepting a series of well spaced out windows, the walls remains uninterrupted. She stumbles in, the lady. She is not very tal

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . I haven't got the memory of a vedic tantric. Neither do I ever claim to remember all. All I know is what I know, question my memory if you want to. I don't ask you to remember, I don't ask you to believe. In fact, I'm not asking you for anything at all. It is your choice to be here, to read this. So no, I don't owe you a favor. I happened to chance upon a watch, on one of my travels. Turning the dials of such a watch, could transport you to the past, to the future, to any time. But time, my friend, is not how you think it is. It is not a straight line, and you cannot just by chance hop into the world of dinosaurs and wooden weapons. It is a series of transparencies, like films of clean sheets of paper laid on top of each other. You look from above
