Baking Experiment: Pumpkin Spice Cake

After blowing off my baking experiments last month, I have some making up to do. I will probably be baking a couple of things this month. I started with a pumpkin spice cake, and use one created for use with the Haunted Mansion cake tin I got last year.

I used this recipe, and did not make any substitutions. The ingredients include a cup and a half of oil, which seemed like a lot. And right when I added it in to the wet mix, it did not incorporate in easily. However, as I mixed in the eggs, it all came together pretty well! It made a nice moist cake with a good flavor.

And-bonus-there was too much batter for just the haunted house bundt, so I had enough left over to make some tombstone mini cakes!

I’m not sure what the next bake will be – probably something for Thanksgiving. Do you have any special cakes or pies you make for the holidays?

Almost to Spring!

It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?

Disco Babushka Done!

Image
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage Jar. I just got the sequins from Amazon, and they worked fine. I have also been working a lot on a Christmas present project that I cannot share quite yet. However, we are going on a few holiday adventures in the near future, so should have something to share. I am working on catching up with blog reading – so sorry to have fallen behind on reading everyone’s posts! How are you all doing? What are you working on right now?
