Do you have a recipe for the frosting? That sounds yummy.

Well, it's the one my mom makes, and i've made it, but i don't really measure....

Depending on cake size, one or two packages cream cheese (the 8oz size)
powdered sugar
butter
semi-sweet baking chocolate
black coffee
evaporated milk or regular milk (or almond milk, whathaveyou)

Soften the cream cheese, then add about two tablespoons butter and about two tablespoons of whatever milk and about the same of coffee. Blend that a bit, then add softened semi-sweet chocolate. Blend that some more (I just use a hand-mixer), then start adding powdered sugar until the icing has the desired consistency and taste. You really won't want to add much liquid *at all*, because a little goes a long way, and if it's too thin, it won't stay on the cake.

Or you end up trying to add more powdered sugar to stiffen it up, and it gets super-sweet instead of being the dark, slightly tangy/cream-cheesy chocolate. The coffee doesn't stand out (I hate coffee, so if it were really strong, I wouldn't like it), it just adds some depth and bitterness to the icing so it's not overpoweringly sweet.

You'll just have to give it a go and see what measurements work best for you/your tastes.

Thanks! I have a bunch of recipes like that, where it's add to taste, but this is a good start.

You're welcome! And good luck. I make banana bread like this, too - add this, add that, try this, a dab of that.... Generally, it's all good. :)

I have a cake called "dump cake" because you just sort of dump whatever you have in the house- raisins, nuts, chopped apples, whatever!

Nice! I made a cake with bits of apple in it once, as an experiment. It definitely changed the texture, but it was really good.

I have a recipe for apple cider muffins, where you chop up apples and use fresh apple cider. It's a good breakfast muffin.

Oooh. That sounds tasty. Care to share? :)

I believe this is the recipe (I usually make in the fall and apparently the old link I had no longer works)

http://boysahoy.com/apple-cider-muffins/

If this is the same recipe, I used just regular flour instead of alternating with whole wheat. I may or may not have added the cloves depending on if I have any in the house.

It's frustrating when links change!

It is!
But thank you!
Yeah, whole wheat flour in a muffin sounds weird to me. :)

I appreciate it!
