Hello sweet friends!
Most of you know that Ecuador, my country too, has suffered one of the worst earthquakes since 1949... and I so want to thank all the wonderful, sweet, kind and generous friends that prayed for Ecuador at my request and on your own as well, even before I even knew you had heard of the tragedy in the news and for thinking of me and my family.
I will be forever grateful!
Today's post has a title which is just that! "I'm so sad, I baked a cake."
While looking at the new posts you my friends sent out today, one caught my eye and it's from; "Living the Gourmet Blog and the cake is, New York Style Crumb Cake."
I have a little secret to tell you... most cakes I make, I give hubby a piece and the rest I give it away to family and friends. I hardly ever eat one piece, or just maybe a tiny one when it's a new recipe and this one is a new recipe to me, so I had a 'huge piece' for a change, you can tell by the cut. I feel better now!
Let me tell you, it is delicious, so yes, go ahead and try it with a good cuppa of steaming hot tea in pretty dishes too !

| It looks and tastes superb ! There's a little glass container with pure honey, which I swirled a little on top of the New York Style Crumb Cake from Living the Gourmet Blog... for a little more sweetness, lol.. |
 |
| We had some tea in this beautiful set of dishes. I don't know the brand as they have the name of the store specially made for them, where I bought them several years ago. |
 |
| Ain't it petty looking? Boy it tasted great too! Someone said that cake is the ultimate 'comfort food' and I totally agree. |
 |
| This teatime afternoon happened here, on my farm house table, that came here from our 'real farm house' where we lived before, so it's my nostalgic piece of furniture and it helped raise my spirits up remembering happier and simpler times back in our 80's when our little girls were growing up. |

| I was so happy to have a big piece of this luscious cake; it sure raised my spirits up, as I knew it would ! |
