recipe of honey cake (eggless)/marudhuskitchen

Despite of the fact that bakeries never make the exact bakes with all the same taste there are countless number of outlets I mean to say about the Iyengar bakery brand name craze.As all may know the root growth all started from Bangalore(Iyengar bakery)and their reason for success during those days was that they supplied freshly baked goods every day right from the hot oven!even during my college days there was a craze for some selected items like vegetable sandwiches,khara buns and even for the biscuits they make.But even today some Iyengar bakeries are living up their life in full swing giving their lovely Indian style bakery products competing with many modern unique bakery shops.This recipe of honey cake is one such delicacies that I loved and tasted during my school days!a colourful jam topping with cake dunked in honey syrup and all the sides of the cake would be perfectly covered with coconut.The very sight of this display in the Iyengar cake shop would be so tempting and nowadays I don’t see these cakes available as far as to my knowledge because couple of times when I visited the near by bakery they were not there of course they may be available at other shops.I recently got the recipe from this site and did it with minor variations(sponge cake recipe I didn’t follow her) it came out very well and am thank full to her for giving me such a wonderful!the exact iyengar bakery style recipe.
