chocolate upside down sponge cake

Recently my friend had told me that friend had made sponge cake easily.
They say Too many cooks spoil the broth. In my case, I can accomplish that just by myself.

I ma be that many hands
popping things in
not in the recipe
but in the pantry
sliced almonds from
Viennese brownies
chocolate chips
from god knows when
and for what

In Telugu, theres a saying 'padi mandilo paamu chaavadu', Between ten people a snake doesnt die. with the you do, I do the task never gets done.

I started making Grandmas warm milk cake. You might think, heres a recipe, whats the fun in following it since you know the end point. 'Execution, Execution, Execution'. In the time you say and do that. So many things happen. I have already written about the Mindless eating which wasnt in the recipe. Later when I was searching more about the cake, this Grandma warm milk sponge cake reference along with the consistency that I saw make me believe that it is also a sponge cake. The highlight of the cake was not totally fathomable at first. When I couldnt get the cake out of the pan first gently and then violently, I wrote off the baby. My friend tasting the cake let my husband in on a secret.
'Do you want chocolate? Its at the bottom of the cake.'
I thought more about the cake, specifically about the sunken chocolate chips and how that doesnt happen in cookies.
With a simple recipe, I have learnt of the elusive sponge cake and the heaviness of chocolate chips.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
