Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake … delicious mouthful!
It's this particular version, the Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake, that I found we loved the most. It has a bit of everything, almost like a Christmas fruit cake and as delicious! There's something about the pairing of orange, chocolate chips, cranberries and pecans that makes the taste buds come alive. Fresh, exciting flavours, a wonderful bite to the already rich crumb, absolute simple goodness!

Coffee Chocolate Chip Pound Cake …and my basil gang!

THOUGHTS OF NUTMEG TRAPPED IN A POUND CAKE…& FOODBUZZ
“Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I’m taking with me when I go.” Erma Bombeck NUTMEG POUND CAKE…spicing it up NUTMEG, the spice of choice for this months’ Think Spice has weighed heavily on my mind. Ever since I saw that Aparna @ My Diverse Kitchen, a fellow DB & an Indian blogger (like me) from Goa, was hosting the event this month, I decided I had to send something in. Freshly grated… Piney, terpeney and citrus-like aromatics combine with sweet and bitter tastes to provide Nutmeg with…
