All-in-one Holiday Bundt Cake...

Who knew you could have all the holidays thrown into one shiny bundt cake mold and it would actually taste good?! This pumpkin cake is dotted with cranberries and walnuts, and has a really soft, yet hardy crumb. It's actually quite nice. Again, this is another outstanding recipe from Dorie Greenspan's book, "Baking from My Home to Yours."

Perfect treat for a gray & cold morning...

When I got up this morning, I was so tried from not being able to fall asleep last night. Stress and cold temperatures do that to me. Anyhow, I couldn't see any sunlight peaking into my curtains. All I could see were gray skies, when I looked out the kitchen window. It was (and, still is) cold! I immediately turned on the oven and decided that I needed to make something warm and comforting for breakfast. So, I asked my mom what she wanted and she said that she had found a nice Cinnamon-Apple Coffee Cake recipe. I checked it out and decided to give it a try. Once I got the coffee cake into the oven, I whipped up some fresh heavy whipping cream to have along with the cinnamon-apple delight! As this scrumptious treat was baking the whole house filled with the delicious scent of apples, cinnamon, and a few little secrets that I added to the batter. It emerged from the oven a lovely cinnamon-sugar coated, golden brown beauty! I'll post the recipe in the next couple of days when I get a chance to type it up! Enjoy the pictures!

Coffee Cake...turned into a muffin! :)

A Lovely Treat

I haven't had much time to bake, lately. I promise, I try to squeeze in as much baking as I can, though! However, this week has been quite hectic. So, my sister, Chrissy, took over the baking for a a couple of days. She surprised us all by baking this lovely Apple Coffee Cake. She found the recipe on several baking blogs, but this is the one she posted a link for: 80 Breakfasts.
