It’s December and I’m finally getting around to posting something sweet.  I’m not starting out the holiday season with cookies, but I thought a Coffee Vanilla Beer Pound Cake would be a good way to get things started.

How’s your holiday baking going?  Do you have your tree up and your lights lit?  We’re working on it.  We had such a busy and hectic (but fun!) Thanksgiving we needed a bit down time.  We had sort of planned – well maybe planned really isn’t quite the right word.  We kind of discussed trying to do the decorating last weekend, but when I say we I really mean me.  I said we should, but never really established an executable plan.  I guess I expected a Christmas miracle and have everything magically appear.

The weather turned out to be so bad that we wouldn’t have gone outside to hang a bizzillion lights anyway.  The sleet turned to snow and I grabbed an Uber to Birdsong Brewing for their 6th Anniversary Party.  Then Chris hung out with the dogs while I baked up some cookies.

There’s nothing like baking cookies after starting your Saturday with an anniversary party and beer at 11:00 am.

Coffee Vanilla Beer Pound Cake

Ingredients

  • 3 sticks of butter slightly softened
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup coffee vanilla blonde ale
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325
  2. Cream butter and sugar together either using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer
  3. Add eggs, one at a time
  4. Add vanilla
  5. Add flour, one cup at a time
  6. Add beer
  7. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl and mix until combined
  8. Coat a bundt pan with cooking spray
  9. Pour cake batter into the bundt pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a cake tester or tooth pick comes out clean
  10. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 - 15 minutes then invert to a plate or cake stand
  11. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired

NOTES:

  1. I used Good Morning Vietnam Coffee Vanilla Blonde Ale from Wooden Robot Brewery.  If that option is not available, you can use a blonde ale with vanilla and it will be just as good.  If you substitute a darker beer like a coffee vanilla porter, it will likely change the color of your cake. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
  2. If the cake doesn’t easily slide out of the pan when you invert it, just walk away and leave it there. It is likely to come out eventually on its own.

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

Y’all will be relieved to know that I’m over my funk and have a super positive attitude – especially now that we are rolling into the weekend   Woot!  And it’s almost Valentine’s Day, so we’re getting a little crazy and rolling out the red velvet.

I have to admit that I’ve never really been a fan of the red velvet, but I just couldn’t help myself. Cheesy as it may be to jump on the red velvet bandwagon just days before Valentine’s Day, it happened.  Don’t judge me.

I also have to admit that we’re not huge celebrators of the cupid holiday.  Sometimes we go out for dinner, sometimes not.  This year we decided to avoid the crowds and expensive restaurants and go to our favorite hole in the wall one man show Ethiopian restaurant.  It works for us and the food is AMAZING!

There was one year that we had a pretty special Valentine’s Day.  There was a romantic and fancy dinner that I’ll never forget.

That was the year I got a diamond ring.

And Chris got a cordless drill.
