Cranberry Apple Cake for a Snow Day

I used the above recipe and did the following changes:

1/3 or so cup of cranberries (I would add even more next time! yum!)

1 cup white sugar

1/4 cup vanilla sugar, big chunky sugar; raw sugar, also big chunky sugar about 1/3 cup or so, brown sugar about 1/3  cup a finer grain sugar; these sugars (the first 2) were mixed with the 

slightly OVER 2 cups of apples sliced into chunks and the brown sugar mixed with the cranberries,

which were added after the other sugars mixed with the apples. 

I added about 1/2 cup or so extra flour

about 1/3 to 1/2 extra of cinnamon and cloves

a bit of a heaping tsps of the baking soda 

1 cup exactly of cold (in fridge for over 12 hours) (instant!) coffee

1 cup canola oil (or maybe just a hint more, it was added first).

fruit was added after the batter was mixed.

I sprinkled a bit of the raw sugar on the top of the cake.

The heart shaped tin was done first, about 35 minutes or so.

Round one last I think.... 

a nice cake, not too sweet. 

I think I could of added even more cloves.

Maybe some ginger? (am thinking of my Koek recipe!)

It was really nice to do!

Well, it was a nice snow day.

Mr Husband worked from home.

Presanctified liturgy was cancelled because of the 

weather and rescheduled for Friday.

I got books delivered today!

I have a lot to do...

I am grateful.

We still got the same old unbloggable stress

but God is helping us enjoy what we have each day

and trust Him for the rest. 

I know we are very blessed!

God bless and help us all!

I know so many are suffering and I pray God's mercy

and deliverance for each!
