Eye Candy Friday




Here's my Eye Candy Friday photo:


Today I made a Swedish Coffee Ring from the Betty Crocker's International Cookbook with a couple of modifications. This coffee cake is made with a yeast dough flavored with cardamom and has an almond filling, yum! I love baking almost as much as knitting, but knitting is probably better for my waistline!

  2. You made a beautiful coffee cake! How did it taste? I love almond filling - yum! Pat yourself on the back for making such a lovely bread!

    I love bread baking, too, just don't have the need as much lately since our kids have flown the coop.

    Bake/knit on!

  3. Suzannerose and Denise, thank you both for your compliments :)
    This was my first time with this recipe and it is definitely a keeper. My family loved it. Told them not to get too used to me making it with the almond filling. Almond paste is so exspensive...so I thought next time I would try substituting chopped apples, raisins and cinnamon. How do you think that would turn out? I'm always up for an experiment!
