You can also call it a dump cake. Back from a vacation, jet-lagged, lazy, tired and missing friends. So the best thing I thought would PERK us back to routine is an easy n simple “Food Processor Cake“. I mean what can be easier than throwing a couple of Ingredients in a food processor, pulse, bake n voila you have a CUTE, SHINY & YUMMY Cake. So this is my version of an easy-lazy cake, nothing too fancy but packed with a punch of lime & chocolate chip, it definitely improves your mood. So I call this my “Happy Sunshine Cake” :))
