This Snickerdoodle Pound Cake is a dense cake with a crunchy cinnamon sugar crust and a cinnamon sugar cream cheese center.

Dear To-Do-List,

Only one thing got done on you this weekend.

And while it was nice to have clean towels instead of doing the smell test (you know the how bad does this smell, can I used it again test?) I needed to get more stuff done.

That being said I much enjoyed the distractions that kept me from the to do list.

Dear Winners of the C3 Adult Rec Hockey League,

Congrats to you. My team lost again.

The sad thing is we lost to you and yet still had a much, much better time.

Not only during the game (like when we stood up and cheered for you) but after.

I’m glad that you guys won, you wanted it far more than us (as your scowling faces and the guy who told me to stop smiling at him this was a game would indicate).

You had the guy that got a hat trick with the way he was jumping up and down and screaming (with a higher pitch than me…just saying) who I thought had won a new truck.

At first I was pissed because I was mad at the league for not telling me about the get a hat trick in the lowest division when you are a higher level player and get a free car thing.

I would have had my better players try hard so that we could win a truck (and then sell it to buy new hockey jerseys!).

But just turns out he was wanting to win it so bad.
They had even made their team a trophy.

So my team got green participant ribbons that I found at a local awards shop. 😛

Dear Danny Briere,

Thanks for proving to me so far this playoff season why you are my favorite NHL hockey player.

Dear Universe,

Thanks for starting to pay off me surrounding myself with good people.

Dear Snickerdoodle,

I love you in pretty much every form so I thought I would make you into a pound cake.

A Snickerdoodle Pound Cake.

Still love you.

This is a dense cake (duh, it’s a pound cake) with a crunchy outside that gives it a nice texture contrast.

While not nearly as much snickerdoodle taste because of it’s side, all the yummy elements are there.

If you want to skip the cream cheese center you can, but I find it adds a nice extra something to the cake.

P.S. It’s a great day to buymy cookbook.
