Being a dry cake on its own, the sponge can soak up all the sugary syrup goodness very well and would make a perfect base for pastries, gateau or any other dessert.

It is recommended to lightly dry roast the semolina before storing it in an air tight container. This not only enhances its flavour it increases the shelf life and keeps pests at bay.

For better results dissolve the cocoa, coffee and cinnamon powders in 3 tbsp lukewarm milk before adding to the batter.

For an extra creamier taste n texture you can also add about 1/3 tin of condensed milk and then adjust the quantity of sugar to be added according to your taste

You can take the liberty of creating your own Salami flavours.
e.g. – Add 2 cubes of cheese or a table spoon of Schezwan sauce for flavour variations of choice.

As a standard measure you can take a medium sized egg to be 50 – 60 gm, weighed with its shell.

Do not discard the vegetable juices. Add this nutritious juice to any Dal or Curry that you are preparing in your Kitchen.

For the Cake’s flavour to stand out you should use an oil that is unflavoured and does not infuse its own identity into the cake.  Canola oil is one such.  Though, you could choose from any other neutral ones too.  

Garlic Butter – Crushed Garlic Cloves and 1 tbsp Butter Microwaved together for a minute would give you flavourful Garlic Butter.

You can also steam the Crème Caramel on the stovetop in a double boiler, but be sure to cover it with foil so no steam sneaks in and messes up the dessert.
