06 Recipes To Impress Your Husband

Life after marriage is not all play and games. The ground reality is you can’t just impress your man by looking pretty and sweet-talking. You have to put in some time, effort, and dedication. In most wives, cooking for their husbands out of love and impressing them with their dishes is in-built and if you are up to trying to impress your man with the right dishes, we have got you covered.

01. Chocolate Cake:

This is my favorite dessert to satisfy my husband’s sweet tooth. This recipe is particularly special for women who don’t have electric/gas ovens because it’s a microwave cake recipe that results in the softest cake.

• Take half a cup of cocoa powder, melt it in 1 cup hot water and mix them well on low heat.
