Lemon strawberry cake roll filled with homemade lemon curd, whipped cream, and fresh berries, then brushed with lemon syrup and finished with a tangy glaze.

Three-layer German chocolate cake with coconut-pecan frosting, rich cocoa layers, and drizzled chocolate topping. Classic American dessert for birthdays and celebrations.

Moist, chocolaty and creamy, these brownies melt in your mouth.

I made mine in mini pie pans and used a cream cheese/sour cream topping slightly sweetened with confectioner's sugar. The filling is excellent.

What's for dessert at Christmas day? How about some homemade candy cane ice cream? It's made of low-fat milk, egg yolks and crushed candy cane.

Milk goes bad, don't just throw it away, make this moist and delicious sour milk cake. Serve it with ice cream or any fruit sauce.

Classic lemon squares with a buttery shortbread crust topped with a bright, tangy lemon filling and powdered sugar glaze. The bake sale favorite everyone fights over.

I use a bit more flour, let the dough rest in the fridge for 1 hr., and shape these into logs instead, brushing with egg wash and sprinkling with a little granulated sugar. I then bake them for 17 minutes. After cooling in the sheet pan for 5 min., I cut them into squares.

Moist and delicious. Applesauce really makes the brownies super moist and meanwhile lower the amount of fat. Using whole wheat flour adds more goodness. Enjoy these delicious dessert without feeling too much guilty :)
