The Birthday Cake

The Amateur, the professional, the fresher…..The difficulty in remembering two hundred and fifty grams of Flour, Butter, Sugar and ten eggs, with an addition of fifty grams of cashew and raisins mixed together. Indeed very hard to remember for Mr.Sapan (matlab Dream) a fresher or an amateur in cooking. The list of ingredients were written in a small piece of paper, folded and carefully placed in Mr. Dream’s pocket, the reason it’s his birthday the day after and he wants to prepare his birthday cake. Ah! What a birthday to remember…

Sirji, you do the purchasing and I’ll pay for it, is what Mr. Dream said, my reply of NO is to make him to learn a little bit of purchasing, Mr. Dreams excitement lingered around a few seconds after his exit. The purchase ended the same day after three to four phone calls from him the same evening.(clarification of indent!!!)
It’s he who prepares and I just help him, the creaming of butter with sugar, the long time beating of eggs, sieving of flour and baking powder together with an addition of cocoa powder everything went well. He sounded more like a professional in baking, and it sounds like he completely didn’t knew the functions of Ingredients, and most importantly one should know that a wrong measurement will turn a pro into amateur in baking. I am sure that he learned how to mix, though we didn’t measure the ingredients and I could literally see a finished baked cake in his eyes.
Looking at him , I stopped asking him the functions of ingredients and the reason for mixing, sieving and creaming, after twenty plus and another thirty minutes at Two hundred and twenty degree Celsius, my calculation of equal amount of flour , butter and sugar didn’t deceive me. The cake was perfect with awesome flavor and color, for the taste I have to wait till the midnight. Just a look in his eyes, I could say how the cake taste. The real reason behind this simple yet a beautiful cake is, not just the ingredients and the oven, along with a dash of Mr. Dream’s Love and passion, which made it all wonderful. I shouldn’t have used the word Amateur Isn’t it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ……
Everyone is green in culinary, we learn something new every day. HAPPY COOKING!
