A picnic without a cake is like having dinner without having tea after, like something is missing and the meal is incomplete!

Just like what Andre Simon said, “Food without wine is a corpse; wine without food is a ghost; united and well matched they are as body and soul, living partners.”  Undeniably! But we are not saying that it is a must-have. We are not saying either that we cannot live without a piece of sweets, but the more you can’t have what you want, the more the need lingers into your senses. So why deprive yourself from the satisfaction when you can just make it? And indulge while you can have it!

Everyone has his own sweet tooth. A majority of us loves even just the idea of having a saccharine treat on our plates by just imagining that mouth-watering decadence! Much more when those ideas proceed to deed, when in fact you can actually taste it, feel it, smell it and savor every bite it can offer.  So here is a picnic recipe that is full of yumminess and there’s no doubt, it’ll also bring happiness!

But wait for it; this is not just the creamy chocolate cake Audrey Hepburn mentioned. This is a chocolate chip Bundt cake with white chocolate glaze!
