Sourdough Coffee Cake & the Perfect Morning Cup ☕️

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to slow down just a little, only a little.

The kitchen is warm. The sourdough starter is bubbling. There’s a coffee cake on the counter, and the smell of freshly ground beans fills the air.

This week I’ve been making my sourdough coffee cake — tender, lightly sweet, perfect with a hot cup in hand. And it reminded me how much the coffee itself matters.

If we’re intentional about our flour…
If we care about our ingredients…
If we bake from scratch…

Then what’s in our cup should matter too.

I’ve been using an organic whole bean coffee that I grind fresh right before brewing. It’s smooth, rich, and doesn’t have that sharp bitterness that so many coffees do. I brew it in my stainless steel coffee pot, slow and simple — the way I like most things in my kitchen.

It feels grounding. Familiar. Steady.

And these are the very kinds of things we’ll be enjoying together at my in-person Heritage Club this year — gathering around the table, sharing real food, warm coffee, and the simple rhythms of a from-scratch life.

If you’re making the sourdough coffee cake this week, pair it with good coffee. Make it an experience — not just a quick breakfast.

You can find the coffee here:

And if you need the coffee cake recipe, it’s right here:

Simple ingredients. Warm mornings. Real food. Shared tables.

That’s the heart of it.

With love,
Laura

Laura Lawrence From Seed to Plate: Where Real Food Freedom Begins Hi friend, Spring is starting to wake up, and that means garden season is right around the corner. This is the time of year when many people start thinking about growing their own food — choosing seeds, planning garden beds, and imagining fresh vegetables coming straight from the garden. But I see many new gardeners make the same mistake every year… They jump in without a plan. A little preparation now can make the entire...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader If I could only tell you to grow one thing, it would be this: Beans. Simple. Humble. Magical beans. Why beans? • They grow quickly • They work in small spaces and containers • They feed your family fresh • They can be preserved for later • They even improve your soil while they grow They teach patience. They build confidence. They give you a visible harvest. Inside my free class, From Seed to Plate, I explain exactly...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I’m going to say this plainly: If you want a garden this year, now is the time to prepare. Not when the garden centers are packed. Not when everyone else is panic-buying tomato plants. Not after you’ve already missed your cool crop window. Right now. Because planting at the wrong time is one of the biggest reasons gardens fail. You need to know: • Your growing zone • What’s a cool season crop vs. warm • Proper depth...
