Today its 10th of November ,Time for Muslim food bloggers challenge and we are completing one year of this challenge… Alhmdhulila All thanks to Rafeeda who started this challenge .. For this month challenge we can select any of the previous month challenge and do . so I selected C 11 which is ‘ cooking a bookmarked dish from a Muslims blogger’
So I selected this Egyption Coconut cake from Rafeeda’s blog “THE big Sweet tooth” which I have bookmarked when she posted..
This is one of the easy to make dessert . A one bowl cake just mix everything and bake till done.. then soak them in syrup .so it will be a moist and juicy cake. Here we are adding syrup which is mixed with condensed milk that make the dessert more rich and creamy.
