Dorie, what an honor for you to comment on my humble little blog! Speaking of mornings, your comment was such a pleasure to wake up to.

Thinking about being a secret agent at 5 am is a whole lot more fun than thinking what I usually think, which is something along the lines of “Tell me again, why am I up now and can’t I go back to sleep — pleeeeeeeeez????!!!”

I’m really glad you and your husband liked the cake.

Thank you so much for mentioning my new blog. At your suggestion, several of your friends have “mozied” over — wish I could have given them cookies, but …

Tanna – Thanks and yes, Dorie’s book is so much fun.

Connie – Aw shucks Connie. Well, I would happily give you the honor of being the earlier waker upper if only my class schedule would allow it!

Sher Cermak – I wish I could give you one!

Jeff – Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be a personal chef, like for a celebrity? Cause that’s essentially what they do. I wonder if it’s an enjoyable job?

Naomi – Haha, I’m happy you like it.

aka Nik – Banana is a great addition to baked goods of any kind, bread, cakes, muffins – yum!

Matt – If only my blog were interactive, I’d share my food with you all!

Garrett – Me too, especially when they’re called nanas.

Nikkipolani – He would have forgiven me, but then it wouldn’t have been a surprise.

Tali – Mission accomplished!

Anali – It’s so true, when you really want to be quiet every little ting sound like a big bang!

Laura – I’m so glad to hear it turned out well and go you for substituting buttermilk. Too often people give up on a recipe when they don’t have the exact ingredients but if you know what can be switched for what baking is never far away.

Ivonne – No doubt about it. Except maybe super late night baking? Hmmmm.

Kristen – It was. Oh it was.

Helen – You go running at 4:30am? Goodness! Isn’t it still dark? I’m trying to imagine the look on Oreo’s face if I told her we were going to go jogging at 4:30am. She’s not a morning dog. (Mini chocolate chips are a great addition to this cake.)

Carolyn – Thank you and you’re welcome.

Paz – Me too! Luckily he makes me breakfast all the time on the weekends.

Mary – I’m sure it was, good thing the hubby didn’t know about it or he would have been laughing at me, lol.

Christine – I agree!

Laurie – Well I’m not going to hold you back from adding a bundt pan to your kitchen or making this cake!

Lydia – I bet there are some pretty amazing bundt pan patterns out there, I hope you do a post about your collection sometime, I’d love to see it.

Susan – Did you make it? I hope you enjoyed it!

Abby – Yea, Dorie is pretty awesome. It’s difficult not to bake from her books every weekend but alas, I can’t let my other baking books get jealous.

Asha – No, I can’t. My hubby says I have way too much energy. Those mini bundt cakes you mentioned sound scrumptious.

Ruth L – This cake did have a fantastic texture, just right for cutting into with a fork and following up with a drink of hot coffee.

Patricia – Those bluberry citrus muffins in the first section are pretty spectacular.

Brilynn – Me too! Dorie is the best.

Damselfly – He’s a sound sleeper, I don’t think anything short of an earthquake would wake him up… maybe not even that! I wish I were that deep of a sleeper.
