Iam a blogger for the past 7 months who entered into this beautiful world of blogging without any basic knowledge of computers.Today when I look back Iam surprised and happy that I learnt a lot and content that Iam sharing a lot of things in common with my blogger friends.

A vivid reader of various articles in newspapers and magazines I came across an article on blogging.As I also have a passion for cooking and have a large collection of tried and tasted recipes I thought it apt to start a food blog.After all the trial and run methods I finally created my blog.Inially I did not know how to go about but kept posting.It was then I happened to speak to my dear friend Bharathy of SPICY CHILLY who also had just started her food blog.It was with all her guidance and support today Iam contributing the 100th post.

I would like to share this wonderful Chocolate Cake recipe which would melt in your mouth.If you are lazy and do not want to cook just bake this cake and your children will not trouble you for food.I bet they will have this for breakfast,lunch and dinner as well.This happens in my house.The only thing is I need to spend a whole day to make a minimum of 3 recipes as just a cake is over in a jiffy.Iam instructed to bake thrice or don't do at all.

An icing cake is usually bought for birthday.I wanted to try my hand on icing after nearly 3 years and not bad I satisfied my son.My children have approved of my icing skills now and I'll practice my hands on it too.

So here is my treat for the 100th post
