sofia i love ur bhel puri...recipe plz!

GRtttt...thanks you i will make it hmmmm probably next week :)

Hi Sofia,

That food looks gr8, do u work / own / dine at a restaurant everyday? Bcos u have a really good variety of pix everytime which look really professional.

Ira how long did you leave it in the oven? the recipe says 2 hours for the large cake but how long should it be left in the oven for smaller portions? also, which caramel topping did you use?

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Maha, for the smaller cake shown in the pic i posted, i baked for 45 mins and it was done when i took it out. Also, previously i have used the mexican cajeta but this time i didnt have the chance to go to a mexican store so i used Smucker's caramel topping and honestly, i didnt think it was too bad. It wasnt rich like cajeta but it certainly did the trick.

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Thanks so much Ira... I'm going to make it tomorrow and hopefully it will turn out as good as yours did :) Just want to make sure that you bake the bigger version of this cake for 2 hours @ 350 degree, right? I'm planning on making both versions... thanks for sharing the recipe...

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Yep i used a fluted bundt cake pan like shown in the pics and i also baked two small ramekin sized ones. The big cake took 2 hours during which i did not check the cake once. I also refigerated it overnight after it cooled, before unmoulding it.

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

IRA....i really want to try this recipe...but i don't have the fluted bundt pan...:(
I don't think the regular 8" cake pan will work....

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Chipsy, you need a 12 cup capacity pan, atleast. This is a big cake. I am so craving this cake, i think i will make it again, without pretelling hubs so he cant stop me :devil:

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
