Today is the first day of Spring Sweets Week and we not only have some wonderful Sweets to share but also some awesome giveaways from our sponsors!!!  Keep reading to learn more.........

Welcome to #SpringSweetsWeek 2023 hosted by Heather from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks! The sun is shining, the weather is getting warmer, and we are celebrating the beginning of spring with plenty of spring sweets and a fun giveaway! This year 20 food bloggers from around the country are sharing over 75 sweet recipes that are perfect for spring. So get ready to enjoy amazing spring treats like cupcakes, cookies, pies, jams, and even a few beverages! Thank you to our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors that are helping us give away some great prizes. Thank you to Melissa's Produce, Anolon, Taylor and Colledge, and Selefina Spices for your generosity and support. We have an incredible giveaway with four amazing prizes and would love it if you would take a moment to read about it and the prizes that you can win!

I used two sponsor products in this first sweet that I am sharing with you today.  I received this wonderful 9" square aluminum steel cake pan from Anolon.  The fact that it is not coated makes it perfect for mixing and baking in the same pan.  

The recipe I am sharing also needs vanilla. You can use vanilla extract if that is all you have but I don't bother with it ever since I began using OrganicVanilla Bean Paste from Taylor & Colledge.  I was first introduced to Taylor and Colledge Vanilla paste several years ago and it is now my go to.  You only need half the amount of paste to extract.

My husband holds CPL classes and I provide a lunch for the students.  This cake is a great dessert because it is always so well received and all I have to clean up before the students arrive are measuring utensils and a spatula.
