Tea Time

My mom and I do this monthly-ish thing that we have to cook for. Tomorrow’s theme is Swedish food. I’m sure there will be swedish meatballs, but we were in charge of dessert. In that case, I made a recipe that turned out so well and I’m so happy! These Swedish Visiting Cakes are almost like brownie-consistency. They are moist and dense at the same time, and are just sweet enough to not be overwhelming. The layer of cinnamon in the middle just makes them that much better. I actually didn’t use white chocolate since I don’t like it. It didn’t make the slightest difference. They are so great! They’re perfect with a cup of coffee or a midnight snack. Let me know if you have any other ideas for Swedish cuisine.

Coffee Cake Muffin Tops

There’s nothing like a cold winter day trapped inside a cozy house. In front of the fire place with a giant mug of coffee, I love to sit with family, talking or reading. I made these over Christmas vacation and they were a huge hit! I didn’t use the chocolate, which made these muffins very cinnamony and perfect to have with a cup of coffee or cocoa. They became a great addition to my typical Christmas routine!
