X MAS SPECIAL BOOZY DESSERT

Dear all,

There is no excuse for my vanishing act from time to time. But i have been crazily busy.

But am back with a boozy treat on this christmas eve for you all as a bribe for the vanishing act that i have been doing.

So get ready to make a cake with the fresh produce of the season and pair it with an equally amazing boozy sauce to cut the chill that the Delhi winters is bringing in for all of us.

The Li'l Princess is off to school for the XMas carnival and am thawing myself with a big mug of hot hot steaming coffee.
