Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our  home page . Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm is hosting February's Bundt Bakers group. When I read her prompt - "Share a Bundt that you made to show your Valentine(s) how much you love them" - I immediately thought of a Persian Love Cake. I have made Persian Love Cake before. It's a fragrant rose-scented cake flavored with ground cardamom and almond flour. And it's topped with crushed pistachios and candied rose petals. So, I  decided to adapt that into a ...
