I have recently discovered the exotic beauty & taste of browned butter! I could go on & on about how I am gonna be browning butter to extract all those nutty aromatic flavor for all of my cooking, not just limited to baking.

Browned Butter Coffee Cake

1 cup of butter
2 cups of brown sugar
1/2 cup of pecans
3 cups of flour
1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1-1/2 cups of yogurt

Browned Butter Icing

Directions:

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until it is brown & fragrant. Cool
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small bowl and set aside.
In another small bowl add pecans, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the browned butter. Mix together until crumbly; set aside
Comine the dry ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside
In a large bowl mix together the remaining butter and brown sugar until fluffy; adding eggs one @ a time.
Stir in vanillla. Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt to butter mixture.
Pour half of the batter in a greased tube pan, sprinkle filling and then pour the reamining batter on top.
Bake in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees for an hour or until done.

Browned Butter Icing:

Mix the 2 tablespoons of reserved browned butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cooled coffee in a small bowl and stir until smooth enough to drizzle.

This summer is quickly coming to a close. As usual my life is a chaotic swirl of possibilities. This flu really threw a monkey wrench into my to do list. I’m getting back on my feet but my energy level is still low. My body is just not accomplishing everything my mind wants to do.

But I managed to have a wonderful photoshoot with photographer Jaha Zainabu…..She has such a great eye, and made me feel really comfortable in front of the camera. She immediatellly got my Shabby Chic lifestyle. Take a look.

I got paint/ I got tshirts/ I’ve been prepping for that moment that I can get my print on….Stay Tunes. Gotta Stay on My Merch….I just wish my body would get back to 100% ASAP
