Mom Style Tea Cake

TEA CAKE

Hello Friends,

This tea cake recipe I am sharing is a recipe inspired by my mom’s cake. She is no more with us today but I still miss the amazing cake she used to make with fresh cream. I have tried to come up with something that would taste similar, couldn’t get the exact taste though. Mom was an amazing cook and getting a taste anywhere near to her taste also is a big achievement for me. This cake turns out moist and grainy and tastes just amazing. Do try it out and let me know how it turned out in the comments section below. Happy Cooking 🙂
