Lemon Cornmeal Cake / Guest post for Nandoos Kitchen

Last Updated on

Old fashioned cakes are my favorite, to me it looks pretty on its own without any thick blanket of sugar frosting.

This is a guest post for Lisha of Nandoos Kitchen  ( most people call her by her blog name Nandoos thats so funny right !)  We haven’t met each other in person but share the same hometown and that explains why most of her posts are familiar to me. Some of her simple curries are like hearing some old melodies that  awakens nostalgia in me.
Few days back I was feeling really sick and had no appetite yet had  to make something for the family. I was lazily glancing through the blogger updates and there comes a recipe with nice tart flavors from Lisha.  Though I make something similar often a change in few ingredients makes all the difference right!  I knew I had to try it immediately, sick or not.She has fiery looking version of soya chunks thats also a must try.

Please head over to Nandoos Kitchen  for the guest post.
