My friends have a wide variety of talents imbibed in them. While some consider photography their asset, for others looking at photographs clicked by others is a great talent in itself! One of these friends is a former student of mine in cooking and is showing great talent in the kitchen, if I say so myself! The mother of my talented friend wanted to drink a glass of orange juice. Now, my innovative friend could not stand the thought of serving her mother a glass of plain orange juice. Therefore, she set her mind to work and created a quick and innovative ‘Orange Pulp Cake’ that literally blew away the minds of her family members.
Lucky enough to try out a slice of the yummilicious cake, I can say for a fact that my eyes filled with happy tears at the pure creativity and finesse shown by my former student. Excited to share her innovation with my readers, here is the recipe of this quick and easy to make ‘Orange Pulp Cake’. Do let me know how it was!
