Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

Friday is here again and that means cake.  This week I have made Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake with Cream Cheese Drizzle Icing.  It was almost a year ago that this recipe was last baked so I decided that it was about time to make it again.

Enjoy!

Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Icing (Frosting)

This week there were fresh blueberries waiting to be used hence, Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake. There was also some cream cheese icing. So instead of dusting with icing sugar, I topped the cake with it.

Enjoy!

French Fruit Braid

This week the suggestion was made that I bake something using apples.  However there were not enough apples to make an apple pie muffin cake (there were only two in the fruit bowl).  I set about looking at recipes and decide to make the French Fruit Braid which uses apples and raisins.  The recipe calls for 1 lb of apples and ½ lb of raisins, a little shy on the quantity of apples I augmented it with some homemade apple butter.

The icing (glaze) was made up with lemon juice instead of water.

I first made this recipe for the office back in 2009 and again in 2016.

Enjoy!

Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake

The months seem to be flying by, it is now the first week of August.  Despite the heat I had a busy day yesterday, baking three different flavours of cake, one for the office and the other two to be used as a sandwich cake.

For your enjoyment I have baked a Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake, using lemon zest instead of orange (as lemons were the citrus available to me) and mandarin orange juice.

Enjoy!
