Cappuccino Bundt Cake

I like compartmentalizing my time. Saturday was for work. Sunday was for leisure, and Monday was for recovery and regrouping. I definitely was in need of the extra day this weekend. It gave me some time to process the end of my beloved summer.

San Diego summers last well into October, so I’m not willing to throw in the towel just yet, but I am willing to give way to a little bit of fall inspiration.

It’s September now, so school is officially back in session, and people are starting to adjust to a new routine. I know that for me, every change in my life, every new step, starts with coffee.

There’s something supremely comforting about coffee. It’s the symbol of the dawning of each new day in this house, and the jumping off point for pretty much everything I do. It’s like a starting gun for new possibilities. I’m in love with coffee.

I figured as an homage to the drink that I love so much, and in honor of new beginnings, I’d make a delicious cappuccino bundt cake. Fall is a great time for baking, and for drinking warm drinks, so even though the temps are still high here in SoCal, i’ll make this small concession and honor the onset of fall.

Starting off a new season fully caffeinated can only mean good things are on the horizon. As much as I hate to say goodbye to summer, I am starting to feel the fall love…..just a little.  The spicy and comforting flavors of fall are definitely something I’m looking forward to, as well as soup (my favorite!) and getting to wear my slippers again.

I hope you’ll all stay tuned to check out the new stuff I’ll be bringing you in the coming months. I’m kind of insanely excited about it, but that might just be the coffee talking.
