The theme this month is A Thousand and One Nights. Listen to how Lara from Tartacadabra got us to get involved:
Let Scheherazade's tales ensnare you as they ensnared Shahryar. Let them inspire you to bake something with the most suggestive ingredients from Arabic, Persian and Indian kitchens.
Use pistachios, almonds, dates, raisins, cashews, spearmint, saffron, cardamom, rosewater, orange blossom water, figs, dried apricots, coconuts, sesame (obviously!)... anything you would expect to be served at Aladdin and Badroulbadour's table, while belly dancers entertain them and their guests.
I hope that you will enjoy this combination of orange and mint, and that you will be swept away by the romance of Arabic, Persian and Indian kitchens!

Bundt cakes seem to be all the rage lately. I've been seeing so many recipes of bundt cakes that now I think I need to make one myself. :)
ReplyDeleteYUM!! I do enjoy a good Bundt can with tea. I don't think I've ever had mint in one.
ReplyDeleteOrange and mint go together so nicely, and your cake looks delicious. I think I've always been afraid of bundt pans - isn't that silly?
