Hi Aunty,

What is the purpose of alkaline water when recipes call for this water?

How unusual.I have never heard of alkaline cake before.Care to elaborate on the cake please?Is cocoa powder used to obtain the colour?Is this a traditional delicacy?How does it taste?

Love the prose on your Mother's Day post.Wishing the same to you as well.

Hi angela,

I did not use cocoa powder. The alkaline water caused the cake to turn brown and i also used brown sugar.
