So creamy and delicious! :) I love banana pudding, and when I'm feeling more brave (I am a baking phobic), I would love to start with this gorgeous pie! Recipe >> Banana Pudding Cheesecake @ SerenaBakesSimplyFromScratch.com

The bars are excellent when chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator on a hot day, but I like them best when only slightly cool or at room temperature. Try to have extra ingredients laying around when you make these because you definitely will end up with requests for additional batches. Recipe >> Strawberry Lemonade Bars @ KandktestKitchen.com

Made this cake tonight from this recipe . Had to do the carmel twice the first time I overcooked it. I hope it tastes as good as it looks. This was on the ‘cusp’ of my ‘cakery’ skills! Recipe >> Caramel Pumpkin Italian Cream Cake @ Loriesmississippikitchen.com

I made this tonight, and it was wonderful. I wanted a light cake to make a summer time dessert, and this fit the bill perfectly. I topped it with a Lemon curd/mascarpone/whipped cream concoction that was really REALLY good, and some fresh blueberries to serve after a fancy pants dinner and it got rave reviews.. A true keeper!

I made a double portion just today, right after I found this, we ate up 1/2 already :) I butchered it, because I just used what I had on hand, but this is a great base recipe! I used hazelnut & hemp milks instead of yogurt, added a little ACV & vanilla. Also substituted buttermilk pancake mix for the flour and stevia & honey & maple for the sugar. Also some chocolate chips sprinkled on top :) We made mini muffins knocked temp to 375. Also made muffins & mini doughnuts, now about to throw remainder of the dough in a bread pan and sprinkle with walnuts and chocolate chips. And if you store it in the fridge, the cake takes on a wonderfully satisfying dense texture. This recipe is a keeper for sure! Recipe >> Starbucks Pumpkin Pound Cake @ SomethingSwanky.com

This simple chocolate cake is a favorite of Lucinda Scala Quinn's oldest son, Calder. Topped with whipped cream and sliced strawberries, it makes for an easy and delicious dessert. Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries Ingredients:     2 Busy-Day Chocolate Cake, baked in 2 8-inch round cake pans     2 pints heavy whipping cream     1/4 cup confectioners' sugar     1 teaspoon vanilla extract     1 quart fresh strawberries, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced Directions: Bake cakes and cool completely.

Spread bottom cake round with a thick layer of whipped cream. Top with a layer of half the amount of strawberries. Top with the other cake round and spread with another thick layer of whipped cream. Top with remaining strawberries. Slice and serve ...

I baked this cake tonight and it turned out amazing! I did make a few changes since I was afraid of a dense cake. I used a bundt pan at 350 which finished in 30 minutes (though my oven tends to be a bit on the hot end). I also added 1 tsp of baking soda and used laban (fermented yogurt/milk) in place of regular milk. for the frosting, I reduced the cream cheese frosting in half starting with 1/2 cup of conf. sugar and adding until it was mildly sweet and runny in consistency since I also prepared a dark chocolate frosting to glaze the cake. It had the perfect amount of sweetness to please everyone in the house. I will definitely save the recipe for another occasion. Recipe >> Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting @ Bake or Break
