Farmhouse Current Cake for turning 25!

Arun's birthday (my younger brother) and he has turned 25. We all just wanted some good time together. My brother in law came home to stay with us and join in the pyjama party. We all spent time talking, catching up, laughing at corny jokes, sitting up in the night and enjoying ourselves. A special thank-you to Zee for having come at 12am and adding to the late night entertainment and be able to eat a good slice of goodness..


Ingredients:
Self Rising flour - 1 3/4cup
Milk - 1/3cup
Eggs - 3
Butter - 200gms

Frosting Ingredients
Cream cheese - 100gms softened
Butter - 3tbs softened
Grated lemon zest - 1tsp
