The drop in temperatures has gotten me, like many others in the baking mood. To beat the grey and gloomies I have been feeling the past few weeks, my sister Zoë and my friend Alicia came over for a baking day. I was inspired by a Pinterest recipe I found by practicallyhomemade.com, and decided to give it my own twist. The result was this beautiful bundt packed with gooey goodness that didn’t last more than four hours, a total crowd pleaser!
