I developed this honey lemon cake recipe several weeks back in the middle of winter – it accomplished all I meant it to, to be the cake that warmed my heart and provided me a reason to slow down for a cup of tea. Its moist and delicious, and has the wonderful addition of hazelnut flour (one of my favorites!). I strongly recommend making this as soon as possible and settling in to enjoy the last bit of winter that we have.

In other news, I’ve had a pretty exciting (and full!) last week! Here’s some fun things to note:
