Home Sweet Home #321

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  This week I shared Cyrus the Lord's Chosen One. 

Then I summarized the message you are getting from the Lord in the last 5 posts I have shared in, The Word of God.

 There are so many wonderful posts each week, here are a few that I enjoyed.

Orange Marmalade Cake

I am taking a step back in time today for tea.  I am having tea on my great-grandmother's Hoosier cupboard.  

This cupboard is perfect to serve a casual tea.  Hoosier cabinets were manufactured in the 1920's and they were made for storage and workspace in the kitchen.

My cake was adapted out of one of my favorite new cookbooks, Honey & Jam by Hannah Queen.  The recipe was Peach & Tomato Preserves Cake (pg.116).  I didn't make the preserves called for in the cake; I did make an orange marmalade topping, recipe follows.  This little butter cake is a winner!  It was so moist and delicious you would never make a boxed cake again. I also liked that for tea, it only made one 8-inch layer.  

Orange Marmalade Cake

For the cake:

1 1/2 cups (170 g) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) butter, room temperature

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

3 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
Topping:

1/3 cup (80 g) orange marmalade 

4 tablespoons (30 g) confectioners sugar

1/2 tablespoon butter

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C).  Spray a 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pan with non-stick baking spray.

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and the sugar, about 3 minutes.  Add the eggs one at a time scraping down the sides of the bowl after each egg.  Beat in the vanilla.  Add alternately the flour mixture and the milk to the mixer bowl, beginning and ending with the flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.  After 10-15 minutes turn cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

For the marmalade topping:

Heat marmalade in a small pot over low heat until melted; whisk in confectioners sugar and 1/2 tablespoon butter until smooth.  Pour warm glaze over top of cake allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Cool before slicing.  

I actually served this cake a little warm and it was amazing!

Serves: 8

Recipe adapted from: Honey & Jam

The little teacup is by The English Tea Table. 

The teapot is by Johnson Brothers and the pattern is Blue Denmark. 
There is nothing cozier than baking with tea for fall!

September Tea/Garden Journal

It is time for the September Tea/Garden Journal.  The garden is now down to just a few enjoyable flowers and herbs.  We had a very wet year here with fungus and pests that were a problem.  In my garden today I have zinnias, mums, rosemary, crabapples, and the lavender is having it's second bloom. 

September always seems like a romantic month to me.  It is where summer gives us it's last kiss and fall ushers in the coziness of cooler temps.  It was sunny in this window a few minutes ago and when the clouds rolled over I started taking my pictures.  I always will prefer cloudy moody shots over bright sun.  I love the way the light is coming through this beautiful lace curtain.  Lace curtain provided by Heritage Lace.

My teacup today is a brown transferware pattern called Charlotte made by Royal Staffordshire.   

The teapot is adorned with oak leaves on it's top that remind me of fall. Teapot made by Home Essentials. 

My book is The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. 

Thank you to Heritage Lace for sponsoring me and providing these Coventry Lace Curtain panels.

The Last Rose of Summer

It is literally the last rose of summer this week.  I might have a few more in the garden but by then it will be fall.  

The post is inspired by this little antique teacup I found recently.  I liked it so much because it was brown.  I don't see these teacups made in brown ever.  It has no marking on the bottom so, I don't know the maker.

I had sheet music to fit the post.  It is really old piano/organ sheet music.  I would say at least from the early 1900's.  

The treat today is a s'mores crescent pastry. They are super easy to make and the children loved them.  

I used a package of ready-made Pillsbury Crescent rolls.  I rolled them out and spread marshmallow fluff and milk chocolate chips over that.  Then I rolled them up and baked as directed.  When finished I melted (in the microwave) some Pillsbury Fluffy Vanilla Marshmallow frosting and drizzled that over them and then I melted some of the chocolate chips (also, in the microwave) and drizzled that over the rolls. And then you have a plain crescent roll turned pastry!     

Enjoy this last bit of summer.  It is going..going...gone.
