Separate the eggs which should be of room temperature taking care that no trace of yolk remains in the whites. Heat up the oil and transfer into a bowl. Sift the flour and cornflour together and add gradually into the oil and mix by whisking while the oil is still warm. After all flour has been mixed add liquid milk and whisk again.

In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks and add sugar slowly till well dissolved. Add this mixture to the flour mix and mix well by whisking. Keep it aside.

In another bowl whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and vanilla essence by an egg beater till foamy and firm peaks form. Now add a portion of meringue to the cake batter and gently fold in. When it is homogeneous, add the batter to the whole meringue. Fold in the batter very gently and slowly with a spatula so that the foam doesn't break and all the fluffyness is lost.

Line a cake mould with oiled parchment or normal paper and pour in the batter. The batter should leave some space above. Tap the cake tin on the table to get rid of any bubble inside. Fill a bigger baking tray with hot water and place the cake mould in it. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 170°c at the lowest rack. The cake will be ready in 50 to 60 minutes. My one took 55 minutes. Take out the cake tin, dish out the cake after a while, remove the papers and enjoy the super soft cake!

Red Velvet Heart Cake ❤🍰
A Valentine's Day special... made yesterday for Valentine's Day this year. #valentinesday2020It doesn't need to be 100% perfect but as long as you stick to the recipe, it'll give you outstanding results. Like all my other cakes, this cake was baked in the microwave because, I have no electric oven at home... unfortunately. If you want to use electric oven with right temperature settings and a bundle of parchment papers, go ahead and feel free to.I divided this recipe into 2 halves or batches and baked them separately. The first batch of cake batter was baked on a square-shaped pan and the second batch was baked on a round pan and also... there's an easy hack to shape this cake into a heart. No need to cut with a paper template, no need to bake it on a heart-shaped pan. Just, turn the square into a diamond position, cut the round cake into semi-circles and attached those on the diamond-shaped cake and that is it... an easy heart cake! Just make sure that both the cakes are even and in proportion.Normally, cream cheese frosting or cream cheese buttercream is used for this cake but here, I decided to use the 3-ingredient American buttercream instead. If you want to use cream cheese, I recommend a bar of Kraft's Philadelphia but this part is entirely optional.I'm an amateur cook, not a professional and I bake to express creativity and for fun.

🎤🎹 Keyboard Cake 🎵🎈
A birthday cake I made for the (fictional) vocalist/keyboardist of the virtual band, Gorillaz waaaay back in 2016. Thought about sharing the recipe here. It was his (2-D's) 'supposedly' birthday yesterday and this keyboard cake, which is chocolate both inside and out was one of the best birthday cakes I've ever made for him. He's my favorite Gorillaz character and I've had this heavy crush on him ever since I first saw him and his (fictional) bandmates on TV as a 9 year old girl 19 years back!!Due to ingredient shortages at home because of the lockdown caused by the ongoing covid-19 outbreak, fearing the virus, I couldn't run down to the store to get my usual cake supplies and bake him any new birthday cake this year. It's sad but sharing an old recipe won't hurt anybody, I suppose.I divided the recipe and baked this cake separately in 2 square tins since I didn't have any rectangular tin with me at the time. If you have a rectangular tin, bake the full recipe in one go! If you're in a hurry, you can bake this in the microwave for 04:00 minutes like the way I did. If you're using the usual electric oven, remember to pre-heat your oven first. Afsara Mehrin -

Curry Mee(Best Fish Curry Ever)
In this recipe I share my 'Secret' Fish Curry.Many people in Bangladesh love prawns, if you peel them, never discard the shells and heads. Keep them in the freezer and make this gorgeous dish when you feel like making something different.The chilly paste is also very versatile and can be used as a condiment to other dishes.Tofu is hard to find in BD as I know, feel free to replace it with more fish or some veggies.
