Sweet Kathleen's new Recipe Blog!
CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE
Cake
3/4 c. chopped pecans
1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 2/3 c. granulated sugar
6 lg. eggs, room temperature
1 T. vanilla extract
1 c. sour cream
2 T. heavy cream
Glaze
2 c. confectioners’ sugar, sifted
2 T. light corn syrup
4 T. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or spray with nonstick baking spray containing flour. Sprinkle the pecans evenly in the bottom of the pan. Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Set aside. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Sift again. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed 10 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture by thirds, alternating with the sour cream and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just enough to blend the batter after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream.
Spoon one-third of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar mixture. Top with another third of the batter, then remaining brown sugar mixture, and cover with remaining batter. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and place the cake on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Spoon glaze over cooled cake. Serves 16.
Prepare glaze: Put all glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir until smooth. Remove from heat. If necessary strain with a mesh strainer. Cool 1-2 minutes before using.

The joan and lucy show
"The joan and lucy show is a romantic and magical world, unlike any
other. Step into this feminine wonderland and remember what it feels
like to feel truly beautiful. Artist Diane Cowman know how real
beauty is captured, through true personalization and refined
individuality. Almost all her creations are one-of-a-kind, giving the
wearer the special confidence that comes from having a truly special
item that was practically made for her. How does Diane do it? After
collecting for over two decades, the findings for her works come
from every corner of time and space. From the flea markets of Europe
to her own hometown of Los Angeles, CA... each crystal, ribbon, touch
of lace, charm or morsel of porcelain seems to tell a story. Diane
borrows inspiration from the Victorian era as well as the early
decades of the 20th century to create her distinct jewelry, clothing,
and accessories; the result is the joan and lucy show and its
exclusive style.

A Thank You note from our November Treasure Box winner!
It was a real pleasure opening up the box..and I decided to dedicate an entire tree to the beautiful ornaments I found inside. These are some talented folks! It was so generous of them all to contribute something to the give-away. I am also sending some pictures of the tree I just finished decorating. It looks so pretty in my dining room!The items that couldn't go on the tree are underneath, and the ornies that were a little more "prim" are going on my grapevine tree...couldn't ask for more!
Thank you also for the generous gift certificate to the Shabby Lane Shops...it will be difficult to decide where to use it..each of the shops are special in their own way.
Again, many thanks to all of those involved, and have a Happy Holidays!
