Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Highly recommended with this cake --> hot vanilla custard.

As is a cup of hot coffee (or tea!) because this is a coffee cake. And no, much to my disappointment, it does not contain actual coffee.

I was discussing Eid-al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice) with my nieces last week and one of them said she didn't really get it. Eid-al-Fitr is the celebration after fasting the entire month of Ramadan but what about Eid-al-Adha? I knew exactly what she meant.
