November cakes!

Maggie Stiefvater's November Cakes

I discovered today that Maggie Stiefvater has invented a recipe to go along with the November cakes she made up for her book The Scorpio Races (see previous entry). Considering the fact that my 3YO requested pancakes for lunch because of Peter Sis's FIRE TRUCK book, I figured I might as well continue the theme and make more book-inspired food.

I was supposed to put them in muffin tins, which I noticed after the fact, and I did add a little extra flour from what the recipe called for, as I'm high elevation, and the dough was too sticky to knead. But I think they turned out nicely. The inside has orange instead of cinnamon, and the top has a caramel glaze and then a white frosting drizzled over the top. The recipe is here.
