So I was looking through my recipe notebook/idea book yesterday for where I’d written down this recipe. This is the book that ends up with all the random inspirations I have, notes, reminders, and of course recipes. As I was scrolling through it though, it occurred to me that to anyone else looking through the pages, it would look like complete gibberish and most likely have whoever was looking at it questioning my mental stability.

Ha, when I see those people who seemingly have it all together with those cutesy little decorated bullet journals and a separate notebook where they’ve compartmentalized there lives and planned out what time to brush their teeth I’m like “Who are you!?!?!” or “I’m sorry, I don’t talk to mutants.” Let’s just say I could be a little more organized.

I’m getting there, guys. Slowly, yes, but I’m way more organized than years ago when I started. Also, is anyone else getting lots of snow right now. I just woke up to the most gorgeous layer of white fluff coating the world outside my window an I’m loving it…….but I’m also slightly annoyed at it as well because it makes driving a bit of a challenge. You see, I haven’t been driving for very long because during the 4 years I lived in Chile I didn’t drive much because the majority of vehicles there are manual and I haven’t really mastered that yet. That’s why I’ve been really enjoying living back where most of the cars are automatic and I can drive myself around.

Anyway, the snow and I have this love/hate relationship going on right now because driving in it is another thing I haven’t mastered so it makes it harder to get out. Ugh, but it is sooooo pretty and I’ve missed it all these past Winters while I lived where there wasn’t snow. Clearly, I’m on the fence about the snow.

I think baking is such a great way to spend a snow day though, at least that’s my favorite distraction. This cake was inspired by the current weather because nothing says cozy and warm quite like a hot cappuccino and some sweet white chocolate in a cake form.

For this recipe I like using espresso powder for baking but if you prefer a more vanilla cake with less coffee favor feel free to lessen the amount of espresso powder.
