I am back, wish I could say back with a bang. Let’s just stick to this simple cake for a while and then all the messy stuff on my disappearance. Apple, oh that is so fall, well just say I am thinking forward or more like I wanted to bake and apples is what I had on hand. We all know by now that I can’t keep things straight and simple so I added this amazing chai masala to the mix with some spelt flour. Spelt flour is a cousin of wheat with more nutty flavors. I am very new to alternative flours but this one is good to start with; less adventurous but flavors close to wheat. [Read more…]

Apple Buttermilk Loaf Cake
This month makes this blog one year old!! I started it with no direction and no set rules, well rules are for losers and over achievers; I am none. I like to do what comes to my ever wavering mind.

I want to take it to a level where it speaks about me and my fervor. Trends are for followers and I for once have never followed a rule in my life and believe in creating my own set of rules. I am blessed and ever grateful to, people around me who support me in every way they can. [Read more…]
Tutti Frutti Pound Cake
With so much uncertainty around us these days, I am truly saddened that we are grabbing the front row seats while watching a news channel as if the current events are part of some thriller movie. The future of this country is in a jeopardy, if I say I ain’t worried that would be false. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, it just doesn’t matter as all these things are not a political issue but a humanitarian one. I adopted this country as my own and call it home, as an immigrant I totally understand how these current affairs are making it difficult for some people. Since this space is about baking, let’s talk about this tutti frutti pound cake and it is special when it comes to food being memories for an immigrant. [Read more…]
