    Carrot Ginger Mini Bundt Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I always feel that after a vacation, I will be reluctant to enter the kitchen but it somehow turns out to be just the opposite. I only get more excited! It’s been a couple of days since we came back from our dream-came-true trip and I have loads to share with you. Hopefully, I will soon be done editing the gazillion photos that we captured. Yes, gazillion! What can I say, we visited Paris and Rome, and it was our first time to these beautiful places. We just couldn’t get enough of its beauty. I will share the travel post soon, I promise.

     

    Today, let’s enjoy the Carrot Ginger Mini Bundt cake.

     

     

    It’s been pouring all-day long and the weatherman said that it would remain the same for the next few days. For some weird reason, I am actually enjoying the rain and the cozy feeling that it’s bringing along with it. I am also enjoying the smell of the cake and the simple flavors, which go so well with a cup of hot tea. Perfect for the season, I say.

     

     

     

    I personally feel that the combination of ginger and carrot always works! Be it in a savory soup or a sweet cake. I also added some lemon to it for a refreshing flavor. It’s one of those easy, effortless baking recipes that can turn any gloomy day into a pretty happy one!

      I love rainy and cozy days-) I don't feel guilty if I watch an extra TV or bake something extra nutty -)) Your dessert looks so good, I just love the combination of these flavors. Winter is the season when baking is part of it, we should enjoy every moment of it.
