Now that the summer heat has gone and the flurries have started to fall, I find myself hanging out in my kitchen more and more. There is just something about filling my house with warmth from my oven and the aroma from a yummy dessert. My children get so excited when they come home from school and immediately know that I have been baking.
And when they find out it is my grandma’s Homemade Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, they just can’t resist. I still remember being their age and always asking for “just one more piece.” And just like grandma, I can’t say no!
