It's the prettiest cake I've made all winter 🩷

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

I've got a fun one for you today, this tender pound cake is easy to whip up and it's such a thrill to cut open a blood orange. A couple of tablespoons of that antioxidant rich juice makes the prettiest glaze ever.

Blood Orange Pound Cake

If you're in a pound cake mood, I have lots more pound cakes, simple loaf cakes, and quick breads on the site. They’re the kind of recipes you can make without much planning and I can usually count on having the ingredients on hand.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Food should be fun!

About a year ago, I made a simple, delicious change: I started eating salmon two to three times a week. It wasn’t a hard sell ~ I adore it, and so does my whole family. At my most recent checkup, my lipid panel...

Cozy British Baking & Comfort Food 🇬🇧

Hey friends❣️ The British really do cozy better than just about anyone ~ from afternoon tea with scones and clotted cream to simple cakes, shortbread, puddings, and savory pies. We owe them a big thanks, because so many “classic” foods we love here in the U.S. trace their roots back to British kitchens. British Recipes You Need to Know My love affair with British food started after college, when my husband and I lived in a small flat just outside London and got to know the cuisine through...
