One of my amazing women I work with at a small, local coffee shop has a blackberry bush in her backyard. Apparently, she is up to her neck in blackberries and is trying to get rid of some. She brought a bowl of the berries into work today and told me that she knew I would love to bake with the berries and I could return the bowl when finished. It's as if she read my mind! Before she finished her sentence, I had already begun thinking of all sorts of goodies to bake. Once I got home, I thumbed through our new Cooking Light cookbook to find a potential muffin or cake recipe. A couple caught my eye, so now I have to make the big decision: which will I bake tomorrow?
...Okay I made that sound more epic and trying than it really is. I'm basically deciding between a blackberry pound cake in cupcake or mini cake form or a blackberry lemon muffin. Considering I recently [well, a few weeks ago] made blueberry muffins, I may try the cake, but I wanted some opinions first. So, let me know what you think! Which should be my next baking adventure? Also, your own recipe suggestions are welcome! I'm always open to new ideas.
Coming soon: oatmeal bars with homemade fruit spread!
About Me
- Erin
- Cleveland, Ohio, United States
- I'm now a college graduate, with a psychology degree from Ohio Wesleyan University. I love to bake in my spare time, which I still don't have as much of as I would like. I also enjoy taking pictures of my creations even though I have no real photography experience. I'm not quite sure when my passion for baking really kicked in, but I've always loved food. My grandmother was, and still is, and amazing cook and baker and I think she's the one that really inspired me to get in the kitchen.
