A Choco-Vanilla Checker-board Cake - A Birthday Treat For the Special Man!

I am back to posting after a long gap! Life is going tough these days with lots of additional responsibilities on personal and professional fronts, so that my favorite baking projects are also being neglected. These days I am not a regular baker anymore - baking only in special occasions. In last few months, though I had baked few items and the recipes are pending to be posted here. I was not being able to make any time for my blog, but this time the credit goes to my sisters to give me a real push for updating my blog after so many days. My dear sisters, you know, who you are! Thank you so much my dearies, you all mean a lot to me!!

So here I am with my latest baking project - Choco-Vanilla Checker-board Cake!

My Birthday Cake - Death by Chocolate!

I am back after a long gap! It was more of a writer's block, along with other family affairs including my laziness to water-mark the pics for the blog and then posting it here. However, I must admit that this time I am back for a bunch of young ladies, who have pushed me to overcome all these hurdles and to be back with my blog!! Thank you my dear girls (You know, who you are) !!! 

Today I am going to present the recipe of Death by Chocolate cake. But before that, a little bit of background story. 

Merry Christmas - My Favorite Christmas Cake

"It's the most wonderful time of the year"....

Yeyyy... Christmas is here... the year is going to end with a happy note for me and I wish for all of my friends, too. In this festive season, how can I stop myself from baking more and more cakes... No I could not...

Actually in last few months I shifted to my new apartment and I took some time to organize everything, particularly the kitchen - because that is one of my favorite places at my home. But baking was on - with 2 school-going kids, I really cannot afford to stop baking. As I said earlier, I always prefer to slide in a slice of home-baked cake instead of the store-bought ones. So, I have my stock full now to share with you - more recipes, more cakes and more stories...

This time, I am back with a bang... And that is the easiest Christmas Cake recipe with dry fruits. I can tell you, this is going to be a show-stopper for sure.
