I am posting in this blog ,recipes which my 87 years old mother used in her cooking. Some of these are her own, some from her friends,some hand me downs from her elders etc etc. So the variety is awesome and as an admirer of his grandma's cooking, my son Arvind created this blog so that my mother's age old recipes can be shared with one and all .I have also posted some of my "tried and tested" recipes, especially the Non-vegetarian ones.I thought a purely vegetarian recipes' blog can be made more interesting with some non-veg recipes thrown inbetween.

  • Coarsely powdered roasted cashew nuts : 1 cup
  • Milk : 2 to 3 Tbsps
  • Powdered sugar : 1 cup

Method :

Crush the Marie biscuits to a coarse powder. Beat sugar and butter well. Next add the milk and cocoa and mix thoroughly. Now add the crushed Marie biscuit and raisins and mix well.
Grease a rectangular baking dish, preferably made of metal and spread the mixture in it evenly.Next sprinkle the powdered cashew on top. Keep in the refrigerator freezer for a short time till it hardens then transfer to the shelf in the refrigerator. Cut into diamonds or squares and serve. Kids will love this!

Thanks a lot for the recipe. I had made this long-long back (more than 15 years back), and I could not find the recipe. Being a guy, baking is not my forte, but this cake was the first dessert I ever made and I surprised everyone at home including myself. Now I hope to suprise my wife too. Thanks once again for posting the recipe.
