I had about 1 cup of custard powder which I wanted
to finish. Then I searched for a baking recipe with it and found a recipe for
cupcake. I altered with few ingredients and got a spongy yellow cake with the
strong aroma of Vanilla. My 7 year old son relished this cake who doesn’t usually
certify homemade food!
