CAKE!

This morning I woke up too late to get in a work out but just early enough to bake an easy blackberry cake. There's nothing better than waking up to the smell of fresh baked goods. Lucky Newt ;) The cake took only 10 minutes to prepare and another 50 to finish baking. It's an easy recipe with a flavor. Give it a try
