Hot Cocoa Almond Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

Life suddenly seems to got busy for me. I do took out time to cook, and bake. But, most of the time, I forgot to click the picture of these delicious dishes.

And then 1 day, I realized my readers are getting compromised because of my schedule. So, I  decided to bake an easy and special cake for my readers. And came around this event of Bundt Bakers. The theme this month, is Hot Chocolate. Well, chocolate is my all time favorite. I even carry, few chocolate in my lunch bag. When,I do not get time to eat lunch, and I am hungry, Chocolate works as a great energy booster for me.


This month's theme is Hot Chocolate, and is hosted by a wonderful cook and a baker, Tara, who also runs a blog, " Noshing with the Noland." Check out some delicious recipe here by her.


#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving Bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all of our lovely Bundts by following our Pinterest Board.

Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com .... But, altered it according to my taste... #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme....

I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was...
