HCB Free Choice: Apple Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake and Chocolate Apricot Roll with Lacquer Glaze

There are a couple of cakes from the book that I made last year but never blogged about. I was going to at some point but things other cakes got in the way.

This weekend I told myself that I should blog about them. No excuses! Even if the photos makes me cringe, especially the Apricot Roll one, where the sliced photo is all blurry. I took 8 photos of them and none were in focus. *@)*&)*%#_*#)!

There's not much to say about the Apple Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake as I don't remember much. Which to me means two things: the cake was easy and the taste was not bad but not super good either.

I do remember that we love the crunch of the topping on top and the slight crunch of the apple in the middle.

HCB: Zach's La Bomba

The name of this dessert makes me think of the 1980's song called "La Bamba." Do you know this song? It goes like this:

Para bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Ay, arriba arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Unfortunately I don't have the song so I didn't quite dance to it as I was making this dessert (yes I know Monica will say she wants to see a video of the dancing! FAT CHANCE my friend LOL).

Back to the cake. This is the last week of the official HCB club. So sad!!! The last year and a half had been so fun. And yes I know we are still continuing, but without Marie! Marie, will you do a guest post or a LC NC sometimes? Pretty please with a cherry on top?????
