When it comes to lemony desserts, I don’t want vanilla with a hint of lemon. I want back of the cheeks puckering, mouth-watering, super sweet-tart, gorgeous fresh lemon essence bursting in every bite!!

And that’s exactly what this LEMONADE CAKE delivers.

You’re going to pinch sugar together with fresh lemon zest to extract all the essential oils, add fresh lemon juice right into the batter, and drizzle the whole thing with an easy lemon icing for one of the most seductively melt in your mouth and effortlessly easy to make anytime treats. Pair with coffee, tea, dessert wine — or lemonade! — and experience refreshingly decadent summertime in every bite.

Yes, chocolate is for lovers… but Ginger Toffee Walnut Blondies?? That is romance!!

Inspired by the great love story that is my grandparents, whose favorite desserts are fresh spiced gingerbread and sundaes with wet walnuts — behold a delectably sticky, chewy, nutty, gingery, portable bite you should make for Valentine’s Day and any time you need a sweet little something to warm you up. With love!!

A personal-serving size pumpkin coffee cake, made even more personally exquisite for the fact that my @cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor made short work of pureeing a giant hunk of roasted calabaza squash (sugar pumpkin would have been my preference, but this worked wonderfully!), crumbling the crumbliest of walnut-brown sugar crumble topping, and could easily have made the pumpkin pie-spaced cake layer too.

Pro tip is to make sure you both sprinkle crumble on top of each muffin and also squeeze together hunks of crumble to scatter overtop for a divinely crunchy coating belying a delicate, moist and tender cake layer!

These make for a truly fabulous housewarming or hostess gift that will have all your friends loving you extra, so prepare for many hugs and frequent invitations.

I feel like this came to me in a dream… a vision of decadent deliciousness full of chocolate, peanuts, banana pudding, whipped cream, and vanilla wafers… how could I say no?
