Last week I was inspired to pull out the bunnies, colored eggs, chicks and tulips to set the stage for Spring's arrival (one week from today) and Easter at the very end of the month.
The cotton branches adorning the top of the hutch were a gift from a friend. I once mentioned to her how amazed I was the first time I spotted cotton growing in a field along the country road I was driving on. Not something one sees in my home state of Michigan. The next time I saw her she presented me with a huge bundle of cotton from her brother's farm. At Christmastime I put it up there thinking it looked a bit like snowballs. Now I am letting it morph into cottontails for the Easter season.
See?
One little cotton ball that broke off has turned this bunny into Peter Cottontail.
Yesterday I had a guest coming for an impromptu dinner.
Wondering what I could come up with for a quick dessert, I remembered this recipe for King Arthur's Original Cake Pan Cake.
It goes together super quick with ingredients that I generally have on hand. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that it is one of King Arthur's most requested recipes.
Wondering what else I had on hand to fancy it up a bit, I opted for a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh raspberry.
Moist, chocolaty and they'll never know how easy it was.
