Ribbon Cake was a childhood favourite .My mom and aunts often made this for rosaries or for any gatherings in the family .Made this recently for a rosary at my place .It was loved by all many asked for the recipe so thought of sharing it here.The recipe is pretty simple and the ingredients are all available in the pantry..
1 cup and 3 /4 cup all purpose flour /maida
2 cups powdered sugar
200 gm butter softened
4 eggs at room temperature
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
few drops of pink and green colour
method
