Chocolate Almond Flour Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting {We’re Back!}I know what I’m thankful for this year!
For starters, I’m thankful that the list of things I have to be grateful for is much too long to put here. I couldn’t begin to scratch the surface.
I thank the Good Lord every day, but especially on Thanksgiving, for giving me the best mom in the whole wide world. I have no idea why I am so lucky. She has held me and hugged me and loved me unconditionally since the day I was born.
She has always told me I can do anything. Even join the track team, which was a very bad idea on my part. And even though I turned out to be a wheezing heap moving glacially along the track, she has always believed in me. I’m sure she has her reasons.
And I probably up threw up on her as an infant, but she kept me anyway. Now, who could ask for better?
No one, that’s who.
I am grateful for my friends. Like, unspeakably grateful. If you know me in offline life and are reading this please know I love you ardently. My friends touch my life, help me laugh, and, on rare occasion as needed, let my cry in their laps. (Some names that spring to mind are Foamy, the Duckling Queen of Acting, the Boy, Favorite Friend of the Sweet Morning, Mamma Duck, Flower, Accident Prone and Lovely, Squashie, Christi, Fro Yo, Arispect and Altoid. Let’s pretend this is an exhibition of my hypothetically fabulous nicknaming skills.) You guys rock.
And you, my dear dear internet friend. I am eternally grateful to you for gracing my corner of the world and I with your amazing presence. You make me smile everyday. I love you and thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I hope we can be friends for years and years to come.
So let’s think of this as gratitude cake.
I know how popular you are, so you probably have a boatload of people at your house being enchanted by your marvelous hosting and storytelling skills after the Thanksgiving feast. But they probably want to eat something. Hmm. You need something easy and delicious, and breakfast dessert is the most important meal of the day…
Lightbulb! Cake!! Duh. Cake solves everything.
After you’ve whipped up your 27 second cake batter while your guests ooh and aah, all you have to do is make the magical streusel topping. And you do it in the same bowl! Saving dishes? Impressive.
Now just swirl together your masterpiece.
And voila! Wait, who took that piece in the corner?
This coffee cake isn’t going to last long.
