I wanted to make this before the weather turns cool. In Michigan the temps go back and forth from 60s to 70s to 80s as we transition into Fall. I am a big fan of hibiscus flavored beverages and this one from Millie Peartree via New York Times Cooking sounded so good. This recipe serves … Continue reading

This loaf cake has it all with a tender crumb filled with fresh strawberries, a cream cheese filling and a light lavender-lemon glaze drizzled on top.
