If you're looking for a dope lemon cake/cupcake recipe, you're in the right place. I created this recipe to go with my last post, Strawberry White Chocolate Ganache Frosting. This lemon cake isn't tart or dense. It's light, fluffy and SO spring. I wish I was eating this right now. But instead we decided to be stupid and Start Whole 30 today. So, do me a favor and make these and eat 3 for me. Let's make lemon cupcakes together.

If you saw my White Chocolate Ganache post then this is basically the 2.0 cute-springy version of that. So easy. So fancy. So yum. If you're like me and you don't typically like frosting but you do like chocolate and you also like strawberries... then you should go ahead and just try this frosting. See if it changes your life. I'm not claiming that it will but it very well might make you realize that maybe the reason you thought you didn't like frosting is because you never had good frosting. Maybe. Idk. You try it and let me know. Really. Call me out. Tell me I was wrong and that you hate it. But also, can you tell me if you love it? okay, Let's do it...
These cutie little cuppy-cakes are fluffy and light and just the right amount of strawberry. Baking was so chaotic, but it was worth it. I was doing laundry at my parent's house, baking these cupcakes, testing another cupcake recipe, and making two kinds of frosting. I spent way longer there than I originally planned.
If you're looking for decadence, you've found it. This frosting is filled with melted white chocolate and heavy whipping cream. The plus is that it's as easy as it is delicious. Shall we? Let's make some frosting together...
These Blondies really surprised me. I was just experimenting and then I took a bite. It was the most satisfying amount of crunch from the top being crinkled and the middle being nice and chewy with the variety of dried fruit, it just made me want to keep taking another bite and another and another. Plus, anything that can be made in just one bowl, or pot, is a win.
I seriously doubt that anyone likes brownies more than me. I want them nearly every moment. Yum. Especially when they're from the fridge. Yes. Cold brownies. Please. You know the sad part? I only ate ONE BITE of these brownies. I sent the rest with Jeremy...It was a mistake. I don't know what I was thinking. They're goooood. Especially if you like chocolate. And caramel. And coffee. TBH the coffee flavor in the caramel is kind of great. It's subtle and then the flavor stays in your mouth on top of the chocolate. Let's make some very decadent brownies together...
If you haven’t watched The Great British Baking show I don’t know if I can really trust you with anything. You’re making bad choices. It’s such a fun show to watch. For me and Jeremy it typically results in baking together, which I highly recommend. That’s how these came about. On an episode Jeremy and I were watching recently they had to make these “millionaire” shortbread bars. They all put different kinds of caramels and flavors in them. Watching them cut their perfect little chocolatey-caramely-shortbread bars over and over again made our mouths water. So, the next day I set out to make some too. And here they are. Now you can make them with your honey too. Let’s make some chocolate caramel shortbread bars together...
we’re starting with the shortbread. You’ll need 2 c Flour,1c room temperature Butter, 2t baking Powder, 1/2 t salt, and 1/2 c sugar Honestly, I didn't think Babka looked very yum in photos. I just wanted to make it because of Seinfeld. But, now that I've had it all the photos make me drool. The bread is so squishy and buttery, and the chocolate is so thick and soft and has a good bite to it. You just wanna keep putting it in your mouth. Come on, let's make Babka together...
I really feel like I’ve tried a lot of cinnamon rolls. These are my favorite. They’re the right amount of chewy and stretchy and yummy and full of buttery-cinnamon-goodness, oh and the cream cheese frosting YES. I love them so much. So so much.
Let’s make cinnamon rolls together... Yum. This cake would be the perfect pairing with some afternoon tea. The cake itself is soft and spongy with a delicously crispy crust. The glaze is perfectly tart and sweet, cute and pink with perfect speckles of poppy seeds. Even if you don't like grapefruit... chances are you'll still like this. Winter is citrus season, so get off your bum and let's make this bundt cake together...
Jeremy loves loves loves chocolate chip cookies. Every time I make them I have to hide them so he won’t eat them all in one sitting.
Let's make chocolate chip cookies together... If you know me, you know I do not like sugar cookies. But these chewy vanilla bean sugar cookies... I'm into. Plus it's so fun because they're rolled in sugar so you can roll them in colored sugar and customize them for the Holiday or season. Such an easy way to have cute theme coordinated cookies.
Let's make sugar cookies together... Triple chocolate, chewy and a crumble of peppermint. Jeremy ate one and literally said "forget apple pie". So, Let's make cookies together...
Pumpkin Pie is so classically fall. It's even better when it's topped with cinnamon whipped cream...
Please don't turn away just because this ice cream has to be churned. If you don't have an ice cream maker and you know me, you're more than welcome to borrow mine. I bet you'd also be surprised how many people you know that have one and are willing to let you borrow it too. Don't be afraid to ask. Homemade ice cream is at stake.
So, let's make ice cream together... My dad loves banana pudding. So, for father's day I wanted to take that and make it into a cake. Light vanilla cake, thick creamy pudding, layered with banana slices and covered in a cream cheese frosting. Feel free to make any of these elements separately and use them for something totally different. This post is Four parts, so scroll through each one and let's make this Banana Shortcake together...
Fun fact: I made my first apple pie back in January of 2015 because I'd overheard Jeremy tell someone that he looooved pie, especially apple pie. So I made one and took a photo and posted it on Instagram because I wanted him to like me. That time I'd used a store bought crust and I diced the apples and I have no idea what spices I used or what ratio. But, obviously it worked because by the end of that month we'd gone on our first date and now we're on our third year of marriage. Since being married, I've perfected my apple pie. Well, I've made it to be what we like best at least. So, let's make pie.
This is my favorite kind of hot pie. Partly because it's so yum and partly because it looks so pretty when the fruit mixes with vanilla ice cream. My sister, Mary, made a variation of this for us a while back and now Jeremy asks her for it all the time. Basically, I'm making this because when I went to Sprouts all the berries were on sale. So I bought a bunch so we could have healthy snacks. But then Jeremy asked if I could make a pie. So here we are. Let's make pie together.
I don’t like sugar cookies, but I like chocolate. So when I want cookies to decorate I make these or my favorite shortbread cookies. Alright. Let’s make cookies together.
Tart and cool. This is your average, simple keylime pie. Nothing fancy at all. Just yum. I think the whole thing cost me around $6. Which is great especially because a slice of a similar pie at Emporium Pies or places like that are basically that price. But wouldn’t you rather eat a whole pie? Me too. Let’s make pie.
Baking is a lot of fun, but it’s even more fun when you get to enjoy it with someone else... especially a tiny cute someone else. Before baking with kids I thought “this is gonna be really messy”. Then I remembered that even baking without kids is really messy. Well, at least for me it is. Don’t be afraid to dive in and get dirty, the chocolate will be the reward— along with the fun you’ll both have making it. Plus, just look at how cute those hands are! So let’s make chocolate cake together.
Simple to make and very worth it. I get it if you don’t want to make crust from scratch. That’s fine. But just know that your pie will be inferior. If you’re fine with that, I’m fine with that. This is just your basic all-butter crust and it’s my personal favorite. Jeremy loves it. I love it. It’s yum. If you want to get fancy, depending on what you’re using the crust for, you could add any number of things, like: cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, cheese... just try. You might even like it. (Rolling out crust is my favorite part of pie making)
Let’s make pie crust together. I know it’s not Christmas anymore... but it’s cold outside and these are warm. I’ve tried other recipes before, but they weren’t quite what I was hoping for. I saw this recipe in a cookbook my sisters got me for my birthday. It’s everything I wanted it to be. Gingery warm, slightly crisp on the outside, and chewy without being gooey. Let’s make cookies together.
