So it happened on this Sunday when I had this sudden craving for eating a Cake with some fresh fruit as ingredient. I didn't know of any recipe hence searched the web and found couple of links. So this recipe is just reproducing them with very minor tweaks which suits my style.
Visuals energizes me and makes me invincible :) Just after having a sumptuous lunch on a Sunday afternoon, I got the visuals of fresh fruits which are melted and infused into a pound cake. Smell of it encircling me , each bite levitating me to the world of happiness and instant peace.. Wow ! I thought. Despite the tiredness, I decided to hunt for a recipe and made a cake which is super easy and contains all the goodness of a fruit... Orange Cake.. here you go...

How to attain Nirvana :)
On a rainy evening, prepare a strong tea. Get your favorite tray, place one large chunky piece of cake and piping hot tea. Go to that room with a view or pull a comfy chair near your garden. Smile and slowly sip tea and take a small bite. Enjoy the softness and that mild acidic sweetness and the occasional punch of bitterness in your mouth. Close your eyes and feel that moment. Dear ones, you have just now attained Nirvana :)
