“It has to come from chocolate cows! It is hands down the absolute best chocolate milk EVER! DELICIOUS! Must be in the glass bottle. Something about how cold the milk is from a glass bottle. Keep doing what you do and change absolutely nothing!” – Joy Crumpler-Force

Orange Slice Cake

Orange Slice Cake

What better way to start the day than a moist, citrusy slice of cake? Typically cake isn’t served for breakfast.

However, this fruity cake, studded with nuts and coconut, is too good to pass up.

I like to have a slice with my morning cup of tea. Fortunately for you coffee drinkers, it tastes just as good with a cup-a-joe.

How to Make Orange Slice Cake

1. Mis En Place 

It’s a fancy-sounding term, but it only means to prepare all the ingredients beforehand. Grease and flour your pan, chop the mix-ins, and preheat your oven. This cake needs to be baked at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar

Beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take somewhere between 4 to 8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. This process, called “creaming,” incorporates air into the batter, allowing it to rise into a light and airy cake.

Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat at every addition, stopping once the yolk disappears.

3. Prepare the Batter

Dissolve the baking soda in buttermilk and pour it into the butter mixture.

A rich holiday treat, eggnog is a favorite drink for Christmas parties and other holiday gatherings. The secret to great eggnog is quality ingredients, and it doesn’t have to be difficult to make. While there are many eggnog recipes, this brandy eggnog is one of the easiest. With the same amount of effort you’d put into any other cocktail, a delicious glass of nog will be ready for you to enjoy in minutes.

For this recipe, you will need just four ingredients and a cocktail shaker. It’s very similar to the eggnog you might get at the bar, with a perfect balance of brandy and satisfying creaminess. You’ll find that it surpasses the taste of almost any premade eggnog you can buy at the store, too. Who knows, it may even bring some anti-noggers over to the nog side.
