In both Arabic & English a Bakers Royale Recipe of Orange Chocolate Cake | طريقة عمل كيكة الشوكولاته والبرتقال

Orange Chocolate Cake | كيكة برتقال وشوكولاتة.

Ramadan is incomplete without dessert right after your main dish. I am writing this blog post during the Holly month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast for a whole month. The beautiful thing is that we only fast from sunrise to sunset and then we can just indulge and enjoy what we prepare. Fasting is a way to examine self restrains and constrains. A beautiful spiritual month, where family and friends unite, everyday, for Iftar after they break their fast.

Today, I decided to share with you one of my favorite recipes besides the Fererro Rocher Cake. For both chocolate and fruit lovers. The taste combination of Oranges and Chocolate is just enriching. I personally can never get enough of it.

I found this Recipe on the Bakers Royale food blog, and it was the first time for me to try any of the recipes. This one turned out to be great, delicious, soft and tasteful and worth sharing. I changed minor things to the original recipe, and translated it into Arabic.

Click here or on the photo for the full recipe, and make your loved ones remember you forever. 

Have a wonderful Iftar or dinner everyone.

Morning Diary 20 – Strolling the hipster corners of Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

When I travel, I usually like to find the unusual and most artsy shops. So I do my research and read what other bloggers have to advice. In my below photos, I have decided to follow one of the online travel guides for 12hrs in Barcelona which I highly recommend you checking out since I truly had an incredible time hoping from one shop to another and experiencing the most tasteful artful and urban shops in Barcelona. Of course, you will always find your little something in between, so while you follow someone else’s advice do not hesitate switching gears and following what calls on for you. From Sant Antoni, to Ramblas, Boqueria market, Carrer del Carme, Gotica, and El Born. I will be talking more in depth about them as soon as I add Barcelona to my travel tab, meanwhile enjoy this indie song by Zack Sobiech, clouds.

Morning Diary 16 – 24 hours in Zurich Switzerland – Part 1

Zürich – Switzerland

At this point and stage, I was just living, I let go of all my boundaries, and I decided not to plan my trip in Zürich, but to just join my beautiful friend who was very generous to take me around. Zürich is breathtaking, similar to Solothurn but much bigger and more cosmopolitan. Life is Zürich tempted me, and in my mind all I can imagine is living there in one of their guild houses, on the last floor with their gothic windows overlooking the cities lake and busy streets and night lights…

Healing thoughts: We live in a random life of a cycle that keeps rotating rotating and rotating until it stops… And who knows where it will stop.. It’s like gambling, you can live all your life practicing to predict where you will stop but even if you predict… it will stop anyway… Why bother? Why spend so much time searching for ways to predict ? What will it change ? What kind of preparations will be useful ? Just go round and round until it stops and your destiny is your destiny … Running from or to it will not help you form anything … Just be.. Be yourself, fill your life with the presence… Fill it with the instruments available to you today, fill it with the joy that is around you… The real joy is the joy of ones self satisfaction of nothingness. What is yours will always be yours and what goes away from you was never yours. So Believe… Breath and Be.
