Marbled Loaf Cake

If you are a foodie and you get a chance to travel, you tend to subconsciously pick up certain textures and tastes that linger on long in memory. And they needn't be something elaborate....usually it is the simple rustic things that stay back with me. So my today's post is actually dedicated to a slice of Marbled Loaf Cake that I had in Starbucks enroutè Edinburgh. It was light and simple but its texture n taste was simply yummm. I am not intending to replicate it here...but that slice did remind me of the fact that my blog doesn't have a recipe of this vintage beauty yet!! So here is my recipe of this classic cake. Please note that this is not a copycat recipe of Starbucks cake...but flavour n taste-wise is better than that, as it is homamade with love, and without any added preservatives/chemicals.....hope you will love it as much as we do at our home.....

NAAN-KHATAI: EGGLESS CINNAMON COOKIES



The word "naan-khatai" always rings fond, nostalgic memories for me; it being associated with my naani (maternal granny)....no....not just literally ("naan" khatai!!) but through her cooking. She used to bake the perfect naan-khatais, and keeping our little hands off it was impossible. This was always a featured request from us kiddies, on all her visits without fail. Her recipe eluded us a lot after she was gone, as there was no documentation. Somehow after many years, I found her recipe, quietly tucked away in my mother's recipe diary....and obviously my joy knew no bounds!! So this is my grandmother's recipe that I'm going to share today.
