PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla in a medium microwave safe bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and vent with a small hole. Microwave until the milk is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk vigorously until the milk mixture is foamy, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the espresso or coffee into a large mug and add the foamed milk. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

LATTE

Steps:

• Make around 35ml espresso using your coffee machine and pour it into the base of your cup.
• Steam the milk with the steamer attachment so that it has around 2-3cm of foam on top. Hold the jug so that the spout is about 3-4cm above the cup and pour the milk in steadily. As the volume within the cup increases, bring the jug as close to the surface of the drink as possible whilst aiming to pour into the centre. Once the milk jug is almost touching the surface of the coffee, tilt to speed up the rate of pour. As you accelerate, the milk will hit the back of the cup and start naturally folding in on itself to create a pattern on the top.

EASY LEMON BUNDT CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• With a standing mixer or a handheld mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add granulated sugar and lemon zest to the butter and mix until it is well combined.
• Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, whisk salt, baking powder, all purpose flour and cornstarch together. Set aside.
• Mix lemon juice, milk and vanilla extract together.
• Alternately, add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until everything is just combined.
• Add in sour cream and mix until just combined.
• Grease your bundt cake pan well and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean (if there are a few moist crumbs stuck to it, that's fine). (My oven took exactly 49 minutes.)
• Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes, then remove the cake from the bundt pan and allow it to finish cooling on a wire rack or plate.
• Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest together. Once combined, drizzle over the cooled cake.
• Allow the icing to set, about 5 minutes, before serving.
• Enjoy!
