Meet the one and only carrot cake recipe you'll ever need. The batter comes together in a matter of minutes and makes a flavourful, moist cake with just the right ratio of crushed pineapple to grated carrot. Topped with smooth, sweet cream cheese icing, it's perfection on a plate.
This dessert is a classic for a reason: Silky whipped cream enriches the subtly acidic strawberry's bright, bold flavour.
Enjoy a slice (or two!) of this aromatic loaf—scented with a touch of lavender, bittersweet orange and underlying notes of Earl Grey tea—with your afternoon cuppa.
Hummingbird cake has the crushed pineapple, nuts and spices you'd find in carrot cake, but instead of shredded carrots, the batter is studded with diced bananas. A swirl of cream cheese icing is all you need on top, but if you really want to knock everyone's socks off, top your cupcakes with our Pineapple Flowers, attaching the banana chips and pecan halves with dabs of icing.
Warning: This cake is for serious chocolate and caramel lovers. It has a velvety texture, crunchy pecans, smooth whipped cream and a sophisticated caramel drizzle.
Sweet-tart cranberry cream filling is a delightful surprise inside moist vanilla cupcakes, which are topped with cream cheese icing and white chocolate snowflakes. Use coating chocolate because white chocolate is soft at room temperature. For best results, place the snowflakes on the cupcakes just before serving.
Look for pomegranate molasses (also called grenadine molasses) in the international section of grocery stores or in Middle Eastern stores. It adds a lovely flavour to this chocolate cake, but it can be omitted if you can't find it.
Special occasions call for special desserts, and this one fills the bill. Moist lemon cake, a bright lemon custard and a simple lemon icing come together to create the ultimate springtime dessert. Look for edible flowers at cake-supply stores. If unavailable, use sugar-coated gumdrops instead.
