So annoying.

I know this is so lame, but if I ever told my husband he was "so annoying" as much as any Kardashian tells their husband/boyfriend that, I'd expect to be single.  It's SO RUDE.  Even if it's joking.  It's just mean. 

And I know I'm ridiculous because it's the Kardashians.  I know I'm not always sunshine to my hubby but dude, dude, DUDE.  Be respectful.  Please? 

Happy I'm married to a respectful person.  I should be a little nicer to him I think.  I love that guy.  For sure.

Gingerbread swirl cake with maple icing

Normally, I don't like gingerbread cake or cookies.  They are always just so overpowering and weird.  BUT I love the smell.  So I thought I'd try something new. I love the boxed gingerbread cake mix that Trader Joes sells this time of year.  So I buy 4 or 5 and the kids and I make cookies out of them and decorate them to give to the neighbors.  But this year I wanted to do something different.  Call it, change!

So I'm writing this on my blog for next year so I remember what I did.  Because, it, was, amazing.

And so freakin easy.Bonus!

 For the cake:
1 box gingerbread cake mix
1 box yellow cake mix (I used pillsbury)
*Follow directions to prepare both cake batters in separate bows.

In a greased 13x9 pour in the yellow cake batter. Pour the gingerbread cake batter over the top of the yellow cake batter.  Use a knife to swirl the cakes together and make sure to lift up on the knife to really get it mixed.  Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick trick.  Cool on a wire rack and then turn over onto a platter for icing.

For the icing:


3 tablespoons of maple syrup (or 1/2 that of maple flavor)
1 cup of confectioners sugar
splash of milk.

Mix together until smooth and not too runny.  If it's too runny add more sugar.

Pour over the COOLED cake.  Cut into squares and eat heaven.

Seriously.  YUM!
