Kentucky Butter Cake with Bourbon Glaze

     I have lived in Kentucky my entire life and had never heard of "Kentucky Butter Cake."  When I came across the recipe, I knew I had to try it.  Kentucky AND butter? It just doesn't get much better than that!  Thankfully it tastes just as good as it sounds.  Think of a super moist pound cake with a rich, buttery taste.  The sugary, bourbon glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness and creates a slightly crisp layer around the edges of the cake.  As I've said in the past, I don't have much patience when it come to baking, but this recipe is super quick and easy.  I was even able to use my new Nordicware Bundt Pan to make the cake look so pretty without any extra work!

Spring Peach, Prosciutto, + Parmesan Salad

 I'm typically not a huge fan of fruit in salads but something about spring puts me in the mood for this combo.  This salad has a few of my favorite things: Parmesan, prosciutto, peaches, and pecans.  The flavors work together perfectly, especially the sweetness of the peaches and pecans with the saltiness of the prosciutto and Parmesan!  The lemony vinaigrette is a perfect light and fresh dressing for any spring salad and is the perfect topping for this one as well.  You can find all the ingredients + instructions for pulling this together below!
