Mother's Day

M...is for the Many times she is been there for me

O...is for the Open arms she has for me

T...is for the Time that she devotes to me

H...is for the Help she gives me when I am in need

E...is for Every holiday that she makes special

R...is for all the other Reasons that make her the best mother one could have!



With Mother's Day right around the corner, I hope that everyone will take some time to thank the mothers in their lives and let them know how truly special they are. Whether it is a card sent from across the miles, a day spent at the local spa, or an elegant brunch hosted in her honor, treat your mother to something that tells her how much she is appreciated!

I want to share with you a recipe that my paternal grandmother used to make that would compliment a Mother's Day brunch so nicely. This cake is effortless to make and can be a delicious and easy dessert for even the novice baker to make...

"Sock-it-to-Me" Cake

Ingredients...

1 package of store bought butter cake mix
1/2 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of canola oil
4 eggs
1 cup of sour cream
3 T brown sugar
1 t cinnamon

Preparations...

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Grease and lightly flour bundt pan
Mix all ingredients, except brown sugar and cinnamon, together in an electric mixer until well blended. In a separate small dish mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Pour 1/3 of the batter into your pan. Sprinkle 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter. Pour half of the remaining mixture into the pan and repeat with the cinnamon. Pour remaining batter into pan and sprinkle the last of the cinnamon on top. Bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour.
