Lady Baltimore cake is a tender white layer cake filled with boiled frosting studded with walnuts, currants and figs. The famous Southern Charleston confection from 1906.

Classic Southern lemon chess pie with a buttery cornmeal-thickened custard, fresh lemon juice, and zest of three lemons in a single-crust pastry shell.

Favourite lime meringue pie features a tangy stovetop lime curd and a stabilized cooked-cornstarch meringue that resists weeping and shrinking. The reliable upgrade over classic lemon meringue.

Marble cheesecake swirls dark chocolate batter through a classic vanilla cream cheese filling on a graham cracker crust. A two-tone showstopper baked in a springform pan.

Milk chocolate bar bundt cake with melted Milky Way bars folded into the batter, plus buttermilk, pecans, and vanilla. A Southern church-cookbook classic with serious richness.

Mini cherry cheesecakes baked in a muffin tin over a vanilla wafer crust, topped with glossy cherry pie filling. Creamy individual portions, make-ahead, and no springform pan required.

Buttery Ritz crackers soak up lemon-spiked syrup to create a convincing apple pie filling without a single apple. Nostalgic Depression-era baking.

This pie tastes like Pecan pie and can be served with whipped cream, non-dairy whipped topping or a scoop of ice cream.

Favourite sour cream apple pie tosses tart apples in a vanilla sour cream custard, then crowns it with a crunchy walnut-cinnamon sugar topping. No butter in the topping means a cleaner, crispier nut crust.

Sour cream pound cake bakes a tall, dense Bundt-style cake with a tangy crumb from a full cup of sour cream. Vanilla and lemon extract carry the flavor, with optional coconut for chew.

Old-fashioned sour cream raisin pie with chopped raisins folded into a tangy custard finished with nutmeg and a touch of lemon juice. Serves equally well warm, at room temperature, or chilled the next day.

Classic Italian tiramisu with mascarpone, espresso, cognac, amaretto, and dual layers of Savoiardi ladyfingers and amaretti biscuits. No-bake dessert showstopper.

Favourite walnut cake: a flourless, ground-walnut sponge held together with whipped eggs and a whisper of breadcrumbs. Tall, tender, and naturally gluten-free.

Washington apple cake packed with three cups of fresh chopped apples and crunchy walnuts, warm with cinnamon and nutmeg. An oil-rich, ultra-moist tube cake served with a cloud of sweetened whipped cream.

Favourite Yorkshire pudding made with hot beef drippings in a muffin tin for crisp, puffed cups with custardy centers. The traditional British accompaniment to a roast.
