This cake has a rich buttery vanilla flavor but when compared with many other cakes, it is surprisingly not that bad for you. It is moist and great for building theme cakes and when paired with buttercream frosting it’s one of my family’s all-time favorite cake/cake pop combos.

I love the coconut macaroon tart shells so much that I decided to fill them with a simple combo of sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream. They are light, refreshing, and offer an alternative to strawberry shortcake when strawberries are in season.

This recipe comes from my good friend, Milena, in Germany. Similar to crêpes, German pancakes are large and thin and can be used for both sweet and savory dishes. When I made these recently for breakfast, I made the sweeter version and added grated apples and blueberries to some of the pancakes.

S’more cookies are rich, gooey and easy to make. They are a fun twist on a classic campfire treat. Make the s’mores with the cookie of your choice. Once you try one, you’ll be asking for…s’more.

The combination of peanut butter, bananas and maple syrup is one of my favorites. You can either add mashed bananas and peanut butter to the pancake batter or slather the hotcakes with peanut butter and sliced bananas, or both.

Dutch babies take me back to my childhood summers at the lake. We always ate these puffy pancakes with fresh berry butter, syrup and powdered sugar but you can use any other toppings.
