This COVID-19 lockdown is making people to walk down to their long-lost hobbies like reading and baking. Celebrity wife Mira Rajput seems to have turned to baking during her period of self quarantine. Recently, she took to her instagram to upload the picture of the cake she baked. While sharing the picture she wrote, “Back to baking after many years! Marble Cake on its way 🥮 #goodolclassic #lifeisbetterwithbutter”
Mira even posted a picture of the batter of her marble cake. It is believed that the marble cake first originated in 19th century, in Germany, when marbling two different coloured batters was the norm.
Mira also shared the recipe of the cake, which is easy to make and is perfect to be served with the evening tea, or simply as a dessert too!
