Honey lemon sponge cake is a take on Japanese castella (kasutera): a tall, springy, honey-sweetened sponge brightened with lemon. Whipped eggs alone give it lift, no butter needed, for a delicate, fine-grained crumb.

Southern Carolina apple cake packed with 3 cups of diced apples and chopped nuts, finished with a warm brown sugar butter sauce poured right over the top. Dense, moist, and deeply comforting.

Velvet devil's food layer cake with coffee and cocoa for deep chocolate flavor, plus a silky coffee buttercream frosting. A bakery-style two-layer showstopper (Part 1).

Old-fashioned Bundt pan cheesecake with ricotta, cream cheese, and sour cream topped with a gorgeous strawberry glaze. Baked low and slow for a dense, creamy, crack-free classic.

Classic moist carrot cake studded with grated carrot, crushed pineapple, and walnuts, warm with cinnamon and topped with tangy cream cheese frosting. The pineapple keeps every slice tender and moist.

Banana corn fritters balance sweet mashed banana and warm cinnamon against a smoky chipotle kick. Pan-seared golden, then oven-finished so they puff up light without deep-frying.

Chocolate mocha buttermilk cake, an ultra-moist chocolate layer cake deepened with buttermilk and hot coffee, split thin and stacked with mousse and toasted hazelnuts. Rich, tender, and bakery-worthy.

Crustless low-carb quiche packed with eggs, cooked turkey or chicken, bell peppers, and oregano. Bakes in 30 minutes for an easy keto-friendly breakfast or dinner.

Almond macaroon brownies layer a rich chocolate brownie base with a cream cheese, coconut, and almond macaroon topping, finished with a chocolate drizzle. One pan, two indulgent textures.

Almond crisps topped with amaretto-glazed slivered almonds in a flower pattern. Buttery press cookies with amaretto in both the dough and the topping for a sophisticated double almond flavor.

Old fashioned pineapple upside down cake baked in a cast iron skillet with a caramelized brown sugar and butter base, pineapple rings, and pecan halves. Served warm with whipped cream.

Chewy oatmeal cookies packed with shredded zucchini, chunky peanut butter, and chopped dates. These moist drop cookies disappear fast, so plan to eat them within a day of baking for peak texture.

Fudgy cocoa brownies with a full cup of melted butter, four eggs, and optional chopped nuts. One bowl, no melting chocolate, and the edges pull away when done.

Most of my recipes are ideal for a good lunch or dinner, but would start the morning with this recipe.

Salmon puff is a make-ahead microwave casserole layering canned salmon, seasoned croutons, and cheddar cheese in an egg custard with Worcestershire and dry mustard.

Light sponge cake baked in a casserole dish, then soaked with a hot rum sugar syrup and topped with toasted almonds or coconut. This boozy, syrup-drenched dessert is even better the next day.
