Angel’s Food Cake and a Wedding Story

Hai Friends...Hope you had a great day...I am having my Happiest Days in my Life...

Its raining heavily over here.I particularly like this weather a lot..This is the time when you can bundle up yourselves in blankets and drink tons and tons of piping hot coffee...I don’t feel like cooking today,so we have ordered some delicious food from near by restaurant,I am getting hungry already,waiting for the food to get arrived... YUM YUM..

And I have a special thing to share with you...Without any delay I am delivering it..

I AM GETTING MARRIED...YES YES...(Blush BlushJ)

YES...I am getting married to my loved one soon...We waited so long for this (ofcourse for years).And finally we made it..I am in my peak of happiness,just floating in skies and clouds(he he)..Marriage will be somewhere between next may,why such long time means we have so many things to be done before marriage..So still have to wait for a few months..And I will...

So you can hear so many wedding updates in my coming posts...

In order to celebrate this special day,I have a special cake for it...Yes Angel’s Food cake..Can you hear Angel’s singing next to me..

This cake is traditionally done in a bundt pan or a angel food cake pan..But I made this in regular pan and it came out great..The main thing in this is the cake rises beautifully in the oven, but it sinks a little when you take out ,because of that pan..But the cake came out so soft and tasty...

If you have one of that cake pan you can bake in that..you will get perfect cake...If you wish to decorate that cake you can cut it like that and proceed...

Hope you all try this and let me know what you think..
