This Pumpkin Pound Cake with Maple Glaze is a moist pound cake with a yummy buttery maple syrup glaze to make this a fall favorite.
I was having writer’s block (still am) and insomnia from the Sudafed and so I thought I would just write random crap.
And since I have had this recipe ready for days but nothing to go along with it.
I think I am going to put my dog on a dog shaming website.
She has a serious used Kleenex problem.
She used to try and hide it like all good closet snot eating dogs should but NO she has gotten so brazen that she really doesn’t care if we are standing right there.
I had a college moment today where the machine was down and I needed gas or else I wasn’t going anywhere.
So I had to scavenger my car for money.
Just a little over $6 in change.
I felt like a moron paying the guy mostly in nickels but hey, it is what it is buddy.
I had the slight need to punch him when he suggested that I only get $5 something in gas and buy a lotto ticket with a spare dollar.
After months of searching I finally found Key Lime Pie Vodka…pretty much about as yummy as expected.
Now I am wishing I never found it. 😛
Oh and I found Pumpkin Pie vodka too.
That has yet to be touched…but don’t you worry, I’m sure something will be done about that. 😀
Amazingly I made it out of Target for under $30…I get some sort of award for that right?
I found an old mix tape when cleaning the other day.
I listened to some depressing music as a teenager it’s a wonder I made it out alive.
My friends too…we all listened to it.
My very pretty blue background was made by my husband and his daughter who was nice enough to paint it for me.
I love helpers.
Don’t run a blog about your family talking about how poor you are that you aren’t going to have Christmas.
And you can’t afford to feed your kids or throw them a birthday party (they are two make them a cake and be done).
But just a week and a half before take pictures of the new clothing you bought they young kids and Sparkly Blue Tom’s shoes for yourself that cost $50.
Then get donations from people so that you can still throw the party.
Ummm, here’s a crazy idea if you really are struggling skip the party and I don’t know use the money to feed your kids.
Because I am going to guess that sparkly Tom’s shoes don’t taste very good.
This Pumpkin Pound Cake with Maple Glaze is pretty darn tasty.
If you have pecans throw some in it.
I didn’t have any so they got left out.
But I think they would have gone nicely with the cake.
Hubby polished off a mini loaf in the blink of an eye…so apparently he thought it was good.
Can you freeze these?
If you want to freeze these you can.
But you want to freeze them without the glaze on them.
When you are ready to use them you can make the glaze and glaze the loaves.
P.S. It’s a great day to buymy cookbookHoly Sweet!
