Hidden Heart Loaf Cake
I’ve always thought recipes that have something hidden on the inside were fun looking. My husband did a checkerboard cake once but I don’t think I’ve ever tried something like this myself. It’s not really difficult to make either of the cakes. I did have to look up “butter spread” though because while I suspected…

Apple Strudel
Apple strudel can be tough to make since the tough is meant to be super thin (apparently you’re supposed to be able to read a newspaper through it. There’s a lot that can go wrong with apple strudel so we decided to use an America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) version. Instead of stressing with making the…

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins

I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I…

Overnight Panettone
Last year during my 12 Days of Christmas Baking I made Panettone for the first time and it failed quite miserably. I was determined to try again and made sure I bought the large molds since using the smaller ones last year potentially made things a little more difficult. I’m honestly not sure what all…

Berry Cream Tart
I recently bought a tart pan and have been trying to find the right recipe to break it in. What better way to do that than with this beautiful berry tart? This recipes isn’t super difficult, but it’s got quite a few steps so keep that in mind if you try it. I’ve never made…
