Kentucky Butter Cake
How have I never heard of a Kentucky Butter Cake? How did I miss its existence? Pound cake soaked in a butter sugar syrup? Can we say yes, please!? Now on the face of it I admit it sounds almost too rich.
#Bundtamonth: Strawberry Jam Glazed Spiced Pound Cake with Buttermilk and Orange
This Bundt-A-Month was tough for me. Not because I don’t like jam, the theme (I do!!), but because figuring out how to successfully incorporate the jam into the cake was hard for me. My first cake was a pretty big flop. Like throw it out for the birds and squirrels kind of flop! It was…

Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake
Like many people, we tend to get into ruts where breakfast is concerned. This problem is even worse for non-morning people, like myself, because we are not going to get up earlier–even by 10 minutes–to add cooking time to our morning routine. Nor are we capable of much thought, let alone creativity, for a good…
