Fall is really here now – the cold temperatures definitely show this. So this heralds the soup season…

It’s cake time! This is another reason I like the end of summer and the start of the colder season. It gets colder outside and a coffee & cake combo in the afternoon is just pure bliss.

Just as a little info – the cake is not super sweet with the amount of sugar, but just right, for my taste at least!
