I’m cooking up a little something sweet…in the kitchen as well as at my stamping desk. We were out of lunch box goodies this morning so I whipped up a little coffee cake treat to send with them to school. It is a good morning when you have laundry on and baking in the oven by 7:10! I got this recipe from my SIL Robin and it is oh, so, yummy! Stay tuned for the sweet little papercraft project I’m working on later today.

This recipe is great for making ahead and can be frozen. I made mine in two 8″ round pans. They cook a little quicker this way (adjust time accordingly) an d you can freeze one of them easily. Not that that would ever happen with this large a family! To make it look as good as it tastes…I just take a few extra seconds to sprinkle it with icing sugar and drizzle the top with chocolate sauce.
