1 Year of Blogging: Cinnamon Nutella Cake

Remember when I marked my first week of blogging? 

It has now been a year. My baby blog is a year old! Clearly, this calls for celebration. And true to my blog's namesake, I've got cake.

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Afternoon tea is a tradition that's been ingrained in me since primary school. At least one afternoon each week, my mother would pick me up and we would go to McDonald's for a teatime treat of french fries, cokes and cheeseburgers (the stuff every kid dreams of). I'm not even kidding; I visited Maccas so often as a kid I managed to collect their practically their entire stuffed Hello Kitty collection, which I don't know if anyone reading this will remember or know about but I had about twenty of those dolls in my room all through primary school. (Then I gave them all away a few years ago.)

Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Brown Butter Spread

What do you do with leftover pumpkin puree?

For me, it's easy.  I turn it into pancakes.

And I think you should too.  And then I think you should stack them high, drizzle drown them with maple syrup and top with a generous pat of cinnamon brown butter spread.  Can I just repeat that last bit? Cinnamon.  Brown.  Butter.  

Yes.
