Honey cake,the heavenly delight

I have a big sweet tooth.Big in the sense biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig..And cakes are a big time favourite.
I love cakes,not the fluffy,sponge ones,but the dense,moist ones..
My absolute favourite is Honey cake.
I tasted it for the first time when I went to Karnataka for my UG course.There was some function arranged by the seniors for the freshers.And there I tasted this little piece of pure bliss for the first time.It was dense,soft and juicy.That was the first time I tasted a cake that is juicy.I never tasted anything like that in Kerala.I asked my friends its name and I came to know it is called Honey cake.I tried to found out from where they got this little delight.But was scared to go and approach a senior with this question.:)
And later on as I became acquainted with the city,I found a bakery which sell this awesome Honey cakes.And just 5 rupees!!
I was happier than Columbus when he discovered America:)
From then Honey cake became easily accessible for me..And we used to have this for many functions in college and hostel.
I hadn't started my habit of googling for each and everything then. So I  never bothered about the recipe.

I was always fascinated by the art of baking.We had a microwave oven back home.And I tried few cakes in that.Some were flops and some tasted distinctly like cakes.And after coming to US,I got an oven all for myself.And the baking enthusiast in me woke up.But I was scared to even operate this.So I started searching high and low in the internet for baking tips for beginners.And during that search I came across a Honey cake recipe by Vahchef..I was so excited.I felt like I met a dearest friend unexpectedly after many years.
I wanted to try it.But I convinced myself that I will try it only after mastering baking.I don't  want to destroy my liking for Honey Cake by my culinary experiments..One day,one day I will surely make this honey cake..
But when will that day come?

About the blog

About me (Rather about this blog)


Hi,
   I am an Indian girl(I cannot hold myself up to call me a woman :) ), from a small town in Kerala.Recently I moved to the United States since my husband is working here.It is a big transition for someone who has never been outside India.I was nervous,worried and a bit scared about the big move.So this blog is a platform for me to vent out about my transition and coping with it.

 I thought of starting a blog in 2013 when I got married.As any bride-to-be I was googling exhaustively for information regarding bridal wear,make up,decor,photography etc etc.I stumbled upon many fab blogs,but being a Kerala bride I could not find any blog catering those specific category.So I thought why shouldn't I start a blog to express my experience of getting married in God's Own Country.But laziness got the better of me then.
So I guess  there will be some bridal posts in this blog

Then after coming to the US,I thought of starting a blog as my skin was behaving weird and I could not find a product that fits my condition even after extensive searching .So I thought I could compile whatever helped me in combating that.Again laziness came to act there.
So I guess there will be some beauty related posts and product reviews in this blog.

And above all this blog is mainly about my random scribbles,be it some recipes,travel diaries, poems (okay, I cannot find the correct word,so please excuse me) .I dare not to call my scribbles poems or 'Kavitha' since it is just my random thoughts and doesn't even remotely resembles a Kavitha.:)

Basically I am going to ramble about anything which comes to my mind.Hopefully it doesn't affect anybody's sanity:)

And regarding the name of the blog,right now I am in that transition phase.So the confusion.Oh now I am confused,should I change the name?:)
