Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cinnamon-Ribbon Bread

July 19th, 2013Tina6 Comments

Whenever I host a brunch I always love to serve some type of bread or loaf because I think it’s perfect for late morning or early afternoon time and it pairs well with the other typical brunch foods. This bread is not really a bread, like you’d make a sandwich with. It’s a wonderful spice cake. The ribbon of cinnamon sugar in the middle of the loaf is similar to a streusel in a coffee cake, but there are no nuts in this loaf.

Are you a muffin or a scone person? You may certainly enjoy both (like I do), but everyone seems to gravitate towards one or the other. I prefer muffins, my husband prefers scones, but either of us will happily eat either. 🙂 I love baking with blueberries when they are in season (so they taste better and cost less than the net worth of a small country) so I put them in all sorts of goodies. These scones have a lovely vanilla flavor base and they’re loaded with lots of plump blueberries. Blueberry Scones Recipe (8 Servings) Ingredients: 2 and 3/4 cups …

The Perfect Crumb Cake

June 27th, 2013Tina35 Comments

Coffee cake crumbs and powdered sugar are two of my favorite things! Put them together and I’m obsessed with the creation, whatever it is. This this crumb cake has both, how great is that? My father-in-law said this was the best crumb cake he’s ever had… and I happen to agree. 🙂 Are you ready to meet the perfect crumb cake?! There is a better than 50/50 ratio of crumb to cake going on here. Hello crumbs! The cake is one of the most moist cakes I’ve ever made. Plus, I sprinkled a ton of powdered sugar on …

Lemon Blueberry Loaf

It’s officially summer today. What foods remind you of this time of year? For me, it’s fresh fruit and especially lemons. I cook with them and use them in my home decor. Today, it’s all about baking with these fabulous bright yellow citrus treats. Plus, I’ll even take it one step further and add blueberries because lemons and blueberries are an amazing combination! Everyone says “yum” to a moist cake! Honestly, I can’t even describe how moist this loaf is. The cake is lemony and buttery, which pairs perfectly with the tart blueberries.
