I am a four-season child too… That cake is very tempting! Yummy!

Cheers,

I totally agree about the seasons and you have certainly given us another way to think of cake on a chilly day. But I know what you mean!! What could be better?!

I would love to live in a place that allowed me to appreciate the four seasons..Ireland does not allow this..you could get four seasons in one day here!! This cake looks sinfully warm and tasty. I HAVE to try it!!

I have always lived in a 2 season place and have envied those who get to experience 4 seasons! You are lucky indeed I have to bake cakes while my kitchen itself already feels like an oven!

Oh, I completely agree-four seasons make the whole year feel exciting and fresh. I get impatient for new seasons to come, no matter how much I love them all!

This lovely yeasted cake looks like a divine way to celebrate the true winter cold that has just hit Toronto!

Here’s to warmth and yummy cakes

Love the four seasons… the different bounty and foods and spreads. Just wish winter was only 3 months long! But for me also, winter seems to be an excuse to eat cake. Your cake is very inviting.

Oh, thank you for expressing just EXACTLY how I feel in February! Yes, crawling inside a litle house of warm sweet cake would be the most fabulous fantasy. But for now, I’ll make do with just making my own little house smell like cake. And this coffee cake looks wonderful. I usually skip over yeated coffee cakes because a quick sour cream coffee cake is just easier, but I might have to make an exception.

I’ve never experienced 4 seasons. Living in Las Vegas it goes from COLD to HOT! It be wonderful to experience the transitions between seasons because I love Fall when the leaves change and fall.

If there is room I’ll join you inside some cake.

I am VERY much a 4 season girl.. born and raised on the changing of seasons!

I tried the Nutella Swirl cake and felt like it needed something–more vanilla perhaps? I cannot put my finger on it. Any ideas?

Cream Puff – Nice book, I would like to peruse that one and make something chocolately…or lemony. I grew up with change of seasons and it IS nice to have that to look forward to.

I love the idea of crawling into a cake: a very comforting image. I hope it gets warmer soon where you are.

Not just because I love to eat them, but also because I love to imagine crawling into them.

and thank you for bringing this book up again…i am know adding it to my wish list

thanks for this great review! not that I need more cookbooks, but this one looks like i’ll have to go get it ASAP

i’m preparing dinner, but would love your coffee cake instead as a meal. is that wrong?

i wouldn’t mind being wrapped up in freshly baked cake myself right now. and this one looks soft, sticky and delicious!

I am the same when it comes to enjoying the seasons. I get this excited feeling whenever the new season arrives; the first snowflakes or the first autumnleaves, o and the first hint of green that comes back on the trees… and not to forget ‘glorious summer’…
Now that cake does not need to be eaten only in winter as I am sure I would love a bit of that in summer too!

O and I just ordered the book…

there is a wonderful novel called “Eat Cake” by Jeanne Ray and the main character imagines herself inside cake as a coping mechanism…wonderful

I agree about the 4 seasons! it would be so sad to miss out on them, though I think I would prefer to have my seasons a little more distinct…in the “in between” months we seem to jump from one extreme to another here in KY: 60 degrees one week, 6 inches of snow the next

Well, here is another cookbook I need. Oh my that looks soooo good.

Heartwarming cakes…utterly charming. Really like the sound of the book. That yeast coffee cake is calling my name!
