This is an absolutely delicious soft , moist cake , easy to make and goes well with a lovely cup of coffee too . To make it juicy and soft , here , I have used coffee flavored syrup . It tastes best when you cool it in fridge . I am sure , once you’ve tried this recipe , you will make it time and time again .
