Radhika's my friend from college.... Another one to have a chip on their baking shoulder..... She was also bitten by the baking bug and ventured where Gauri n I haven't been... Baking in a Microwave....
The cake came out very well... clean on the sides.... soft, spongy n in Radhika's words "Coffee n Rum Cake..wt Coffee Sauce Drizzlin'...purely edible!!;)"

Verdict:
Thanks Radhika, It was just YUMMY.... I loved it.... most of my blog will tell u I love coffee flavour n this was a total treat to have, the first cake by rads...... totally awesome it was....
The rum n cinnamon was adding body to the cake while the texture was soft n spongy.....
The center needed some more cooking though.... next time.....
