5. Pour the batter in a greased baking tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out almost clean.
6.Cut small pieces once cooled and keep aside.

Procedure for the cream

1.Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and doubles in volume.(Mine was thick enough and that shows in the photo too.)
2.Fold in the sugar and vanilla essence.
3.Fill the cream in a piping bag and keep aside.

Putting it together

Serve chilled or as it is.
