My grandmother enjoyed cooking and feeding her family, friends, and neighbors. She loved to host dinner parties and prayer gatherings, and every time, she made this rosewater bundt cake, dusted with powdered sugar. It was her signature cake, served at every “mehmooni” (which means a gathering or party in Persian).
My grandmother is one of the strongest people I know. I shared a little about her life and story in my blog post – Shrini Donmarki.
It is so special to have her recipe for her rosewater bundt cake, which I have veganized of course. 🙂 Her recipe was actually already mostly plant-based as she only used one egg.
