Roohafza Almond Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

Well, I am back, after a long break. Wanted to come back earlier, but somehow wasn't able to accommodate writing in my schedule. Writing is something which, makes me refreshed, and I can share my experience with my friends.

Somehow, I feel there is always something to talk about, something to tell, something to share. And this time, I have lot to share. In past few months, lot of things changed, for me. I started working full time. So, my daily schedule completely changed. Like cooking and writing, designing is my passion too. my passion led me too, an architecture school, and it became my carrier. I always feel, one should select a carrier, which they love, then only they can give their full input. Happy from my work, but to make myself completely satisfied, I need to pull some time from here and their and keep on blogging.

I moved to another house. So, demanding job, demanding family, cooking, cleaning, setting up the new house and my determination to find out time for exercise, wasn't letting me to write and post on a blog. Though, I was cooking, but there was always very less time, for getting the pictures done. And then, I decided,I just cannot let the time slip from my hand. I have to use it as maximum as possible. So, here I am back with a new recipe.

When I saw this month's theme, only item came in my mind was Roohafza. Roofafza, is one of the delicious drink, I grew up drinking especially in summer. It is considered to keep our body cool. It is made of lots of herbs, fruits, flowers, roots, etc. I don't know for sure, but our elder's say, it is a good healant, when you get a heat stroke. Well, I really do not care about the so called good properties, what I really crave about it, is it's little sweet taste with rose flavor. And when mixed in a cold milk, it is one of the drinks which i can never resist.


So, here I am presenting you a delicious flavored cake, which is very close to my heart. This recipe is completely hit and trial, and I never thought, it will turn out so awesome.
