A delicious cake, quick to make and quicker to devour! The pureed fruits make it moist and soft and a wonderful alternative to the market bought frosted cakes.

Also, individuals with hypertension need to know that this cake has slightly high amounts of sodium (from baking soda and salt).

Egg-Salad Finger Sandwiches
This is one recipe that begs the question of any parent - Did the chicken come first or the egg? Ok, bad joke!
Show your parents that boiling an egg is a piece of cake. (But it's always a good idea to be safe and on the side of caution when cooking, Right??)
Here is another piece of interesting trivia - did you know that you can keep boiling an egg at a very low but steady temperature for a very long time, e.g an hour and it still won't overcook, so long as the temperature is kept very low. Why? Check it out kids!
