Chocolate Maltesers Cake

It always feel good when you have someone to take care of you; someone who enquires whether you had your food or not from time to time; someone who cares about your sleep, health etc. No matter how old we are- we are still children for our parents; and they remain our parents forever.  I got to stay and spend some time with them last week and those days were awesome. We rarely get a chance to be a child at this stage of life when we have to be and act like a matured mom who never does a mistake and who is always right atleast infront of their kids.  To get pampered is a girl's/lady's fundamental right; Isn't it? ;)

It felt like suddenly we fell back into 90s where we stayed together with sisters and bro. The only difference was that my younger sister was not there and we missed her terribly. 

This cake is made by my sister, Hanan on her son's birthday and tasted awesome. The flavor of horlicks blended together with chocolate and maltesers on top was all in all a good combination and melted in mouth within seconds. What all you need ?!
