Happy baking!

Happy Wednesday, Reader.

With Valentine's Day coming on Saturday, I'm sharing some of the recipes you've been loving most this month.

Strawberry has been the common theme in your site visits, so I've got a themed round-up for you here. 🍓 Click any recipe or image below to get baking this week.

​Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Filling - As my site's top recipe for two years in a row, this layer cake is a special one. The flavor of chocolate alongside roasted strawberries is truly divine.

​Mini Strawberry Bundt Cakes with Strawberry Icing - I love how many of you have been checking out these mini strawberry Bundts! They’d work well for a brunch this weekend, and you don’t even need to break out an electric mixer to whip up a batch.

​Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Filling - The sister to my chocolate cake with strawberry filling, this cake has a luxurious strawberry cream cheese frosting. It brings the flavor and pretty looks to any Valentine’s festivities.

​Pink Sugar Cookies - These cookies would be so cute for a Galentine’s celebration! They get their flavor from freeze dried strawberry powder and are a very tasty, easy, forgiving cookie dough.

​White Chocolate and Strawberry Muffins - Another ideal breakfast treat, these muffins have bits of chopped strawberries, alongside extra flavor from freeze dried strawberries in the batter. Yum!

Happy Saturday, Reader. If you’re still figuring out what to bake for Easter tomorrow, I’ve got you. 💛 This past week, I made two versions of one of my all-time favorite spring desserts. First up: this old fashioned carrot cake with pineapple. It's a super soft, classic layer cake that I actually made for my dad’s birthday last weekend. It’s one of those recipes that’s been on repeat in my family for years, and for good reason. The crushed pineapple along with freshly grated carrots keep it...

Happy Thursday, Reader. For spring and Easter baking, I'm making tweaks to some of my existing recipes to dress them up for the season, and I wanted to share two types of cookies with you. 🪺 Up first are my big batch chocolate chip cookies. They're in rotation whenever I need a classic dessert for a crowd. Yielding 40 cookies, it's a good option that's quick to whip up, and any leftovers will freeze well for three months in an airtight container. To theme this recipe with Easter, I swapped in...

Happy Sunday, Reader. Spring has sprung, and with Easter just a week away, here's a fun and timely seasonal bake. Last Monday, I had a blast sharing my Easter bunny sugar cookies on Fox5 DC. These are the cookies I reach for every spring when I want something festive but not too fussy. Plus, they're perfect if you're baking with kids or short on time. Here's why they work so well: No-chill dough so you can decorate and eat these sooner rather than later Buttercream frosting instead of royal...
