Gingerbread Bundt Cake
This gingerbread Bundt cake is spicy, molasses-y, and oh-so-tasty. Sweet and warmly aromatic, gingerbread cake is often humble comfort food, but baked in a decorative Bundt pan and dusted with powdered sugar, it's elegant enough for any holiday table.
Pumpkin Sufganiot with Cranberry Jelly
I wanted to combine Thanksgiving flavors for a Hanukkah doughnut. This dough is very forgiving, and will last in the fridge, well-wrapped, for 3 days. That makes it easy to break up the recipe into batches and fry the doughnuts when it's convenient for you. This makes a great holiday breakfast or dessert! Makes about two and a half dozen, depending on your cutters.
Healthy Aussie Bites™
My take on Aussie Bites™ with a little more added to them. Use a mix of chopped dried fruits such as raisins, dates, figs, cranberries, etc.
