My new pan, two successful coffee cakes :) |

Put two layers of cinnamon crunch inside the cake this time |
In the upcoming months I will need some help from friends so in my world that means a lot more cooking and baking. I am so lucky that people enjoy what I make as I can barter my way for services if people are open to that, if not, I just pay cash. I do have to admit there is something much more satisfying in bartering. I was also able to trade doggie care for baked goods and my wonderful neighbor went above and beyond her care of my other dog and I will be baking for her until the day I die :).

Well, if you are in my neighborhood and you cannot go to work in the morning because of the snow, throw on your snow shoes and stop by for a cup of coffee and a slice of coffee cake, if my kids have not eaten it first. The kettle will be on!
