What is it about fall that just makes you want to bake?
I love the spices, the newly in season ingredients, and pumpkins!
this cake is a treat on a crisp fall day with a cup of tea or coffee ~ a little spice a little subtle earthy pumpkin flavor and this great zip from the yogurt.

Recipe:
1 1/4 sticks of butter, softened
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
3/4 cup of pumpkin
2 cups of self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp of freshly grated cinnamon
preheat the over to 325°
Place the softened butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Add the yogurt and beat well until combined. With a spatula fold in the sifted flour. Finally hand mix in the pumpkin until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased bunt pan or into two small loaf pans. Bake for 60 mins or until cooked through (if made in two pans cooking time will likely be shorter than 60 mins).
Remove from oven and let cool then turn out of the pan. Serve warm with tea or coffee on a crisp fall day!
enjoy
I spied these sweet little dresses over on asos and couldn't resist giving them their own post. From Lulu & Co they are sweetly nostalgic in shape and anything but with their playful prints!!
cute, non?!
fall colors abound.
Yesterday was the most perfect of fall days and it was a beautiful day to stroll about the city and usher in the new season. the farmers market was full to the brim with every sized gourd, squash, green and orchard bounty.
Lovely ~

Do you ever find at times you feel more inspired than others? I am sure you have probably felt this way at some point. Thats how blogging has felt the last few weeks, lacking inspiration.
But the change of seasons always inspires me and I am off to new york on wednesday and very much looking forward to it. It has been too long since i was last there. I have a list a mile long of things I want to do and places I want to visit. I am so excited to see old friends and simply stroll for a while in a city that is not mine.
I am feeling inspired already!

this smooth slivery room that feels full of late summer breezes
and this photo. I haven't seen it before and I love everything about it. It feels like a moment captured on one of the last days of summer on the Cape. When the sun is still strong but the air has turned and a chill laps at its heels.
My most favorite kind of beach day!
