I love when a dessert adds a little color and brightness to early spring. This list of my favorite Easter recipes includes beautiful show-stopping cakes, fun cupcakes and plenty of color for your spring gatherings.
If you’re a paid Substack subscriber, you can ask me a question in the comments below and I’ll answer as many of them as I can in an upcoming YouTube video!
What to Bake This Weekend
If you’re feeling like making something classic, why not try my banana bread or my chocolate chip cookies?
Feeling more decadent? Try a cheesecake! I have so many recipes and an entire guide dedicated to it. And paid subscribers, don’t forget you have a delicious basque-style cheesecake recipe to enjoy!
So many of you are making my crusty bread right now and I love to see it!
As always, if you’ve recently made one of my recipes, I would appreciate it if you would leave a rating/review on my website!
Savory Tart
Lately I’ve been doing lots of savory baking and I recently photographed this recipe from back in the ZoëBakes.com archives. When you need something quick and easy for dinner that's packed full of flavor and adaptable to whatever you have in your cupboards, try this tart. It also works great in muffin cups for mini tarts as a lovely little appetizer.
Lemon Recipes
Tart, bright, delicious, versatile — you can describe lemons in so many ways. If you search my recipes, you’ll often find lemon as the star or in a supporting role. It’s a favorite ingredient for its ability to stand out and deliver wonderful flavor, but also it’s subtleness in brightening up desserts that need just a little tart kick. If you are looking for perfect lemon desserts for a party, or just to satisfy a citrus craving, these recipes will deliver on big, bold lemon flavor.
I love your YouTube channel! Thank you for the video on how to soften butter. I've done the glass dome but with a glass. I do like the idea of chopping up or grating the butter too! But don't worry, I am pretty good at taking the butter out of the fridge in time :) :) !! Thanks again, Janet
