Keep It Short and Sweet!

As I rush to finish this blog post on Christmas eve, I have nothing ready! No tamales, no pozole, no empanadas, nothing! Lol! It will be a busy day in the kitchen for me. I am not including a ton of prep pictures today, but you get the idea.

You can literally take any simple cake recipe and add that special touch. Mix in some fresh ground cinnamon, orange zest and vanilla. Even to a simple store bought box cake mix! But it’s so easy to bake a cake from scratch too!
