Happy Spring!
Easter is tomorrow, and I have the perfect cake to make.
Both the cake and its title are mouthfuls.
You may know by now that every season, I make and photograph a cake that is representative of the specific season. Last summer was this Very Berry Chiffon Layer Shortcake, the autumn brought this Apple Orchard Caramel Layer Cake, and from the winter stemmed this Winter Wonderland Coconut Angel Food Layer Cake. And this spring, I am bringing you this Carrot Patch Cinnamon Coffee Bundt Cake with Nutella Icing. What’s not to love?!
