This cake needs no introduction. One fun fact about this
cake is that it’s named after the colour. Well, the first thing that comes to
mind when I think of Raya cake is this cake. But of course, I don’t just wait for
Raya to bake this cake.
I've lost count of how many times I've baked this cake.
I still can't understand how such a simple cake can taste so great! I
believe it has to do with the ingredients.
Honestly, I was not a big fan of this cake until a few
years ago. It all changed when I happened to taste it at a friend’s open house.
I was instantly hooked. So I made it a point to get the recipe then and there and ever since, baking this cakes is one of my fav Raya traditions. No Raya is ever complete without this
classic treat cake on the table.
Trust me, it's definitely a crowd pleaser because I
really find it very difficult to stop eating this cake, it can be addictive! I have seen kids and adults gushing over this cake. You can also use this as as dessert for a party and it is ideal for a potluck party too.
