Went through lots of recipes n didnt settle down for anything. Then suddenly an idea stuck me,. why not make Zebra Cake n MW. Took a recipe for cake from one of my cookbook made a few alterations n made this cake, Voila! In 10minutes I made the cake n if was sooo soft n delicious. I was very happy coz I not got the best cake but I was also able to give surprise even though I was sick.Sending them to Indrani's Spotlight- Baking without oven
