Winter always sneaks up on me. On the lucky days where the sun in shining bright, I tend to forget just how crisp and cold the outside air is here in Canada. We\u2019ve lived up here for five years now, and with Thanksgiving in October, I feel like the holiday season gets extended… and I love it.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Before we dive straight into peppermint<\/a><\/strong> and eggnog<\/strong><\/a> everything, I wanted to create this subtly spiced, decadent cake. I\u2019ve been craving cozy and the combination of chocolate, cinnamon, and toffee crunch in this recipe is like a giant hug – like cuddle under your thickest quilt with a warm hot chocolate kind of comfort. The piped knit details bring it all together.<\/p>\n

The chocolate buttermilk cake doesn\u2019t have a lot of rise but is so fudgy and moist. My new favorite. I love the crunchy element in the form of toffee that interrupts the smooth, silky chocolate buttercream. Chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream is underrated – every time I use it, I questions why I don\u2019t smoother it on everything I bake. A bit of cinnamon sneaks into the different elements to add a bit of spice in each bite.<\/p>\n
