November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

 BismEm


This is a nice and simple cake.  I don't know why it's called "Texas,"  there's nothing Texan about it.  It's just a good coconut cake.  With all those food dyes, preservatives and additives being used in cake mixes sold in food stores, it's a far better idea to bake a cake from scratch in our own kitchens.  This 'texas' coconut pound cake was posted by a lady at the Recipe Club.  She says it's her mother-in-law's recipe she shared 45 years ago and it's still one of her favorites.  Okay .. good.  So let's try it.



As you can check from the link, the original recipe is not health friendly either, in that, it uses plenty of unsaturates for preparation.  So we will replace crisco veggie shortening and butter with corn oil and salt-free Bacel margarine.

Here we go:

Ingredients

2/3 cup corn oil
About 2 tsp salt-free margarine
3 cups white sugar (you may make it a little less if you like)
3 cups all purpose flour
5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Half tsp baking powder
I cup full shredded coconut
2 tsp coconut extract (optional)

Preparation

Cream oil, margarine and sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating each one well before adding.  If you want to use the coconut extract, add it now.  In a separate bowl, sift flour and baking powder.  Gradually and alternately add flour and milk to the sugar mixture.  Then add shredded coconut.  Mix the batter well.

Spread the batter by dividing it equally in two 8" greased cake tins.  Bake at 325 to 350 for 1 hour or a few minutes longer if necessary.  Check if done by inserting a toothprick. 

Optional:
If you prefer to put icing, you can make a glaze with powdered or icing sugar, milk and a couple of drops of coconut extract.   Apply over the cake when cool. 

Enjoy !!  Wink Cheesy
