Non Alchoholic Spiced Sangria#SundayFunday

When we visited Spain, enjoyed having different flavors of sangria, they were all alcoholic. Sangria is a typical Spanish beverage and it’s usually made with wine red or white, chopped fruit and some sweetener. Once you taste this drink your hooked to having more than glass at a time. Here I am making this awesome drink spiced nonalcoholic with  apple juice.    Let me tell you this is also divine and irresistible. 

Had guest for breakfast who do not have tea or coffee, hence decided to make this drink. Made it the previous evening and kept it in the refrigerator to chill. But as this was brewing , the house was full with aroma of spices and sweetness ... that was drawing me to kitchen to taste it. Oh My God! it tasted divine. You must try this. My guest were flabbergasted after tasting this drink.

Eggless Orange Bundt With Orange Glaze#BundtBakers

This is soft and moist delicious cake.  Sent this for my Delhi family, they were very happy to receive an homemade Eggless delicious cake.

Ingredients 

1 Cup All Purpose Flour
½ Cup Caster Sugar
¼ Cup Thickened Orange juice - see method
¼ Cup Oil
½ Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ Cup Yogurt
1 Teaspoon Orange zest
¼ Teaspoon Orange Essence
For The Glaze
½ Cup Orange juice
½ Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Orange zest - cut into thin strips

Method 

Take 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and place it on medium flame till it reduces to half by boiling or till it is only ¼ cup. Cool this completely, then only use it. 

Grease and dust a bundt pan with flour and keep aside.
 In a big bowl add the  yogurt and add the baking soda in it and stir well and Keep aside  for 5 minutes

In the meantime, sieve the all purpose flour and baking powder together. Then add the  orange zest mix this well into the flour and keep this aside

Now to the yogurt baking soda bowl, add the caster sugar and oil, orange essence and mix well.
Now dd the dry ingredients  with the reduced orange juice  make a smooth batter. 

Pour the batter in a greased bundt pan  and bake in a  preheat oven at 180 C for  for 30-35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove the cake from oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes. 

Then un-mould and cool it.

As the cake is cooling let's make the  Orange Glaze

In a sauce pan add the orange juice, sugar and  orange zest  strips and bring to boil. Cook till the syrup thickens and reduces to almost half.  It should be a  thick syrup with glaze like consistency.

Use a thin skewer or toothpick to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour the warm s syrup all over the cake so that it soaks through.

Spread the thick glaze over the top of the cake. Add the orange strips also on top and leave to cool. 

Enjoy with a hot cuppa of tea ️ or coffee
