Eggless Malibu Rum Cake

Here comes yet another yummy cake.....
But this one's kind of exotic. Tried a fusion of tropical flavours , and it worked well!!
It was my husbands get together party at home, and instead of going for the conventional "Mitha"  made this cake ....
It was a moment to cherish for everyone , when this cool blue beauty came with a lit candle amist a dark room....and everyone sang cheers together and pounced on the cake!!
Guess the cake made me the Star Of the Party!!
So its not just for my Kiddo that i m his Super Mommy.... made it to my husbands Super Wifey too!!
Cheers!
