This is one of the best sponge cakes you have ever tasted.

The first time I made this cake on my own I was 12 yrs. old. I think my mother did a great job by teaching me this recipe.You can never go wrong! Try it and let me have your feed back.

You would not miss the eggs in this cake :-)

A yummy treat for the hot summer days!

Rich and Creamy Rice Pudding served at jhandi's. eaten with puri makes it 10 times better!

This is a pudding made all around Guyana, commonly in Hindu homes on the 9th day after the birth of a baby. The morning of the 9th day, prayers are performed on the mother and baby, and after the sun prayers are done, cooking sweets and celebrations begin! Eaten with roti, it really is a delicious dessert! No need to wait for a baby to come to make it! At pujas, a pudding called lapsee is made, this is similar to lapsee, except it is curried.

Sweet dessert served at prayers

Dessert flat bread. Used for puja's, and served with other sweets including parsad, and pera, this dessert can be clasified as a rich thick, dense, fried bread that can be crunchy, or rubbery and chewy. Roath with a cup of tea is a tasty treat!

Sweet coconut doughnuts with a hard sugar glaze. Rich, soft, melt in your mouth coconutty goodness! Always look forward to these when my grandma has her annual puja!! :)

Cassava, condense milk

Mixture of dried fruits, soaked in wine and rum used to make traditional Christmas cakes in Guyana. Black cake, brown cake or fruit cake. When aged for years, it makes a really tasty cake :)

Known to all Guyanese as Christmas Cake, Brown Cake or Fruit Cake, around holidays, this cake along with black cake and ginger beer permeates the air all around :) It definitely is a rich, delicious cake. When eaten with almond paste spread over the top, it is nothing like any other cake you have ever tasted!

Coconut cornmeal pudding :) yummm, not many know about it, but it is a delicious dessert from Berbice side where I am from :) Enjoy!

At every Hindu home when they have prayers, this sweet is served along with parsad and mithai in little bags :) MMM Sweet, milky, slightly crunchy, but velvety and smooth, its like a bit of heaven!!!!

The recipe for pine tart is very simple.  Fresh pineapple can be used, but the canned is quicker, easier, cheaper, and lets just say better
