Since years, this is my favourite cake. Easy to to make, with a warm golden color and a pleasant spicy flavor – just the right thing to enjoy with a cuppa tea on a rainy sunday!
I used ginger syrup, which my sister in law gave me as a gift. Unfortunately the hubby hates ginger, I do not know why. Well, who wants a grumpy hubby at home?? So I reserved him a thick slice of banana bread. This should keep him happy.
Yes, I know, VD is over (I am not even mentioning the name), but that should not stop you from having a sweet and hearty breakfast together with milk like those peanut butter cookies. Whilst I am at it, I also have some leftover table decorations pictures from the day I am no longer mentioning. Moving on to spring then, not such a bad idea anyway.
This weekend I was planning on making some S’mores over the campfire. Well, lot´s of rain, so no campfire. However, with a little bit of creativity S’mores can also be fun indoors. I melted the marshmallows in a pan and instead of cookies I just added some cereals and put the chocolate on top. It´s quick and easy with only one more thing to add: „calorie counters you better stay away from them“.
Today my friend Julia (the one from my book who makes the Macarons, www.monkeyjolie.de) is visiting. Although, it´s kind of sad, as she’ll be moving to Switzerland soon. In order to make sure not to become too melancholic, I decided to bake something that combines her two most favorite cake ingredients. Apple and Cinnamon. I am sure she likes it.
A Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread served as a French Toast is the perfect thing to put your new year`s resolution stamina to the test. Do you still obey your ‚less sweets in the new year‘ resolution or is this rule melting away in this rich maple syrup topped piece of yummieness?
