Congrats!!

Baking with the Pioneer Woman.

 

I am baking in my kitchen.  She is at home in her kitchen.  So why do I feel like she is right there with me?

Its just how magical her new cookbook is!

Not only is it beautiful and amazing, its personal.  She has found a way to totally engage her reader and make them feel like they are right there with her.

Well, you know I just had to make a cake.  The Coffee Cream Cake called my name!

Although the recipe in the book varies slightly, it is almost identical to this Coffee Cake from her site.

 

In the book she has a recipe for the whipped cream frosting (in between the layers) as well as the mouth watering coffee frosting that I slowly drizzled on the outside.

Then right in my mouth.  Sorry.  I couldn’t help it.  I mean, its coffee frosting.

The Pioneer Women’s Coffee Cake (slightly adapted)

Coffee Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Start by melting the butter on a saucepan on the stove. Once the butter is melted, add in the instant coffee. Pour in the boiling water and remove from heat. Whisk until full combined and then set aside.
  3. In large bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Pour butter mixture over and whisk together.
  4. In separate bowl mix buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over batter and whisk until fully combined.
  5. Prepare pans. I used two 8in rounds. Pour batter into pans and cook for 13-16 minutes or until am inserted toothpick is removed clean.
  6. I let the cakes cool to room temperature then cut them each in half, creating four layers instead of two. I them placed all the layers in the freezer for tow hours.
  7. To assemble cakes, place one layer on cake stand and cover in whipped cream cheese frosting. (I used a can whipped frosting) Place another layer and add more frosting. Continue until all four layers are in place.

The last step is to pour the amazing coffee frosting over top.

The recipe in the book is a slight variation of the recipe on Miss Ree’s site.

I gotta tell you, this cake is scrumptious.

Enticing.

Delightful.

I hope you get the book so you can make it too!

But don’t tell your family or friends.  Then they will just want a piece and that will lead to sharing that we just cant have that.

    My favorite thing about The Pioneer Woman is the personal touch she adds to her show. I enjoy hearing about her family life and day-to-day activities as much as I do the recipes.

  2. Her recipes? Her humor?! ;)

    She is so witty! She always has something great to say.

  4. Yael says:

    Her gorgeous husband. ;)

  5. Julie says:

    My favorite thing about her is that the recipes are REAL. Real people food. Rarely does she use some weird, expensive ingredient that I would have to shop for hours to find in my hometown.

    Her step by step instruction. And how she always makes jokes when she forgets to photograph a step. :D

  7. amy marantino says:

    I know it seems silly but it cracks me up how much she dislikes bananas — most chefs won’t fess up to the food(s) they don’t like, but Ree *owns* her distaste for bananas! :)

  23. lynn says:

    I love her friendly, genuine style. She is so knowlegable, devoted to family and really enjoys her job!!

    Only true Okies will understand when my answer is, “because she’s a small-town Okie.” That word wraps up all the goodness, sweetness, neighborliness, and her countless other wonderful qualities all at once.

I think her stories are so interesting and she puts me right there beside her. I love her photography tips too. But I can honestly say, every recipe I’ve tried of hers has been a winner. I haven’t tried too many yet, but she’s batting 1000 with me so far! :)

  41. Marianne says:

    Her recipes are for the most part things that my family will eat, they make a beautiful presentation without a lot of the fuss of the other cookbooks or bloggers that I read. My family loves everything I’ve prepared from Ree’s recipes.

  77. Charity Hoot says:

  78. Dawn Fraizer says:

  79. Ladette says:

  92. Jen B says:

    She is real. I want to meet her someday.

  93. sylvia swartzel says:

    My favorite thing about the pioneer woman is how laid back she is and that she really strives to make recipes anybody can do. I love that she doesn’t realize how amazing she is which makes it easy to relate to her as a fan. I also love how open and honest she is.

  100. Kim says:

    PW is awesome, what’s not to like? She encourages me to work on my homemaking skills, a wonderful gift to my husband and boys. A real challenge since I have a fulltime job, but she helps me want to cook for them. I would do an even better job with a new cookbook!

    I love the Pioneer Woman’s down home recipes! Thanks for the giveaway!

  136. I think we found our OWN Oprah that cooks. She is honest,witty, and good "ole fashioned cooking" says:

    I finally found a new and refreshing cook,baker and actually takes step by step pictures of everything she does and uses. I love her iced coffee. She cooks the way my mother did on a farm in Iowa. You don’t have to cook it in “30″ minutes and look all over for various ingredients. Her cookbooks are one of a kind and interesting to read. I could go on and on. Very different from the other hgtv cooks!

  137. Tara H says:

    The variety of things on her website. Food and recipes (AWESOME!!) to everyday life and vacations. Love check in daily to see what is new.

  138. DENISE PENDLETON says:

    I first saw her on the Paula Dean show and fell in love with her and her family. I like the way they all share in the show and let you know just how good the recipes truly are. I try to catch her on every show she does and have gone to the food network and used some of her recipes from there. She writes them in a easy to use format and they always turn out good (and I’m not the most experienced cook at all). I would love to have a copy of her book to have all the recipes and stories at my fingertips. Keep up the good work Ree!!!

  139. Hannah J says:

    I love that her recipes are what REAL people want to eat. Nothing too fancy or uppity. Just amazing, tasty, get-in-my-belly food. Yum!

    I may have a slight crush on Charlie and Walter.

  156. Marian B says:

    Ree!! Fell in love with her blog in 2009 after a friend share a recipe and a link to her website. Laughed and cried, as over several days I read her account of her romance with the Marlboro Man! Ree is always a smile when you need one!! Her recipes are yummy too!

  157. Ann Marie Bridge says:

    I love Ree’s down to earth personality and of course her amazing recipes!

  170. Karen Ford says:

    I love Ree’s recipes because they are family tested. She explains and illustrates each technique wich is great for the beginning cook and for us old hands! And she in unpretentious — what you see is what you get — that is what makes her approachable and believable.

  171. Krysten O says:

    She is just so stinkin cute! She reminds me of some of my best friends. They don’t take themselves too seriously at all!

  172. Marty R. says:
