that looks great Anh! pistachio and saffron are favoured ingredients with indians, and adding figs to it is a neat idea..I think oranges would work great too!

wonderful pics, btw:)

What an intriguing combination -- and I love the little mini-cakes. And your photographs have me drooling on my keyboard!

Anh, I love the photos - gorgeous! And I couldn't agree more. I just packed 20 boxes of cookbooks and magazines (they're in storage until we get our own place) and having been at my daughter's for a mere 2 weeks, I've already bought 2 books and 8 magazines. And now I'll have to buy at least one more. French sounds awesome.

Beautiful cake, Anh. It looks tasty and I love that it's small - it looks more personal that way.

Dear Anh, wishing you a very Happy mothers day

I've been looking for a recipe to try using figs - this may be it! Beautiful photos too!

i'm with you about the books...it's a bad habit & with a family to feed certainly even worse :D
but look what you get when you buy too much book...another wonderful baked good!

Tiny bundt cakes! But with an amazing combination of flavours! They look and sound wonderful AND you have a great blog!

2007-05-11T16:51:00.000+10:00

This is my first time seeing individual bundt cakes. They're sooo cute! The combination of fig, saffron, and pistachios sounds wonderful! I love buying new cookbooks too. Buying kitchen stuff is my guilty pleasure, replacing purses and shoes. :D

I am familiar with the cookbook affliction! Sigh...but if you're happy then it's all worth it :) Now you have given me a new cookbook to check out!

That cake looks darling and the flavor combination delicious!

Sher, your comment always makes me happy :)

Sushma, thanks dear.

Nora, I just discovered your lovely blog yesterday through Eva. :)

Eva, thanks dear. I know you are a perfectionist! ;) In terms of texture, I notice that the cake is more moist. The crumbs are larger, too... I guess that it is because this technique prevents overbeating of the cake, especially after the

Wonderful cakes - I especially like the last picture! With this new technique, do you think it affected the texture in a particular way? Moister, bigger crumbs or anything of that sort? Or was is rather to overcome problems of the usual techniques? You see, I'm still looking for the perfect way to make pound cake...;-)

I love the combination of pistachios and figs...yo...

2007-05-11T07:54:00.000+10:00

I love the combination of pistachios and figs...your cakes so wonderfully moist. This cake would be a good excuse for me to start using the cute silicone mini baking moulds I purchased.

I love all those ingredients! Saffron and figs and pistachios--I can't think of anything better, really. The pictures are wonderful--the cake looks so moist!

2007-05-10T14:37:00.000+10:00

Jaden, thank you.

Sharmi, take care dear. Dry figs are my daily snacks and I love them. It is really beautiful in the cake.

Pat, thanks sweetie. I will remember your name in my cookbook craze society.

Angie, I like individual portion too. :)

Gattina, *hug*. I like to expose to different cooking techniques and ingredients. But somehow the celebrity chefs fail

These are truly lovely Anh. The photos are so appealing and the ingredients are divine. I'm tagging this one right now!

2007-05-10T06:09:00.000+10:00

'cooking is more than that', how ture!!! And Anh, my both hands (and feet too) up to agree with you about 'quick & simple'... I mean, living with ease is also part of living quality, but when it's said too much, and seems the only thing what they said, I'll lose my appetise.
And I feel your little beauty calling me name!!! Fig! Saffron!!! And butter!!! I don't know anything about this

2007-05-10T00:13:00.000+10:00

Anh, I love small individual portions, looks so dainty :)

2007-05-09T23:33:00.000+10:00

Anh, I just love the ingredients you put together. So delicious. And what a beautiful color it is. I love making food/baking in individual portions. Looks lovely.

P.S.: If you ever start an anonymous society for cookbook addicts, count me in. ;)

Hi Dear, hope you are doing good. was a little busy with my little one's school so could not blog much.
Loved your pound cake it looks very pretty. I am going to buy the pound cake molds. figs might be tasting nice in the cake right?
