So Viji asked me to pick my choice of secrete ingredient . I picked Orange Fruit and I made this eggless orange soft cake. Another one special thing in this recipe is, I grab the recipe to make this tasty cake from Viji's space. I really thank her to share this wonderful recipe on her space. I am proud that I got lot of appreciation from my friends. IT really made me so happy. I thanked viji immediately through email, but I want to thank her in my space.
