This dessert is the perfect combination of tart and sweet, and all about that pink! A little sour rhubarb combined with sweet strawberries, decadent ricotta mixed with a jam made from those same strawberries and rhubarb, all set in this beautiful pastry tart crust. This dessert just screams Spring! It’s finally rhubarb season! And I was finally able to secure some beautiful pink rhubarb! A few weekends ago I went strawberry picking, so the berries used in this tart are farm to table. Though they didn’t grow rhubarb on this farm, they did have some at their little farm store,…

Continue ReadingA light vanilla cake, with berries inside and layered with whipped cream, this cake is the perfect dessert for Spring! It tastes a bit like a strawberry shortcake, and is sooo easy to eat! My mom loves this cake, so I’ll be making it for dessert for Mother’s day brunch this year. This post is sponsored by Lifeway Kefir, but the opinions and thoughts are mine. Thanks for supporting the brands that make EyeDocBakes possible! When making a cake, especially a naked cake – the cake layers have to be really excellent. This cake has the perfect crumb – it’s…

Continue ReadingA marbled chocolate and vanilla loaf cake that’s perfect for breakfast, or a snack cake! This cake is fluffy, yet moist, and is very easy to eat, with a bit of a light almond aftertaste. This marble cake has been a long time coming. I’d been hesitant to try re-creating it, since it is a cake that is synonymous with my grandmother for me. My grandma was an amazing woman. Aside from being a fantastic baker, she was so many things, but most importantly, she was a strong role model that helped raise me, and someone I will forever look…

Continue ReadingImagine a super fluffy and light bundt cake, with a lemony flavor and bursts of fresh blueberries throughout, covered in a homemade fresh blueberry purple glaze…that is this bundt cake! It’s the best lemon blueberry bundt cake that I’ve ever had – and it went fast around here! Hopefully you will love it as much as I do! It’s finally starting to feel like spring, and with that, I always want to make light and fruity desserts. Still riding the wave of citrus season (thank you cute little backyard lemon tree!), but starting to notice more and more berries in…

Continue ReadingA take on the classic Cosmic Brownies, but this time made in a large skillet! A chewy, fudgy brownie covered in a shiny chocolate ganache, and topped with rainbow covered chocolate chips. This skillet brownie is out of this world! Ready for some nostalgia? I remember getting so excited when my mom would get me Little Debbie’s cosmic brownies. Having one as a dessert after dinner, or even better, bringing one to school? That was a treat! But guess what? Now that we’re adults, we can have these brownies whenever we want! So I got to work playing with my…

Continue ReadingThis is the cutest, most colorful little loaf cake! It is made with limes, Lucky Charms cereal, and a little bit of Irish whisky (which you can totally leave out if you’re making this for kiddos). The cake is fluffy, and super yummy to have with tea, milk, or a cup of coffee. The glaze has a refreshing lime flavor that just adds some awesome tanginess to every bite! When I set out to make this cake, I realized I don’t bake many green desserts! At first I thought I would make the whole cake green, but something about that…

Continue ReadingThese muffins are large and in charge! If you’re looking for a bakery style banana walnut muffin that is super fluffy, with a sweet and crunchy muffin top – then this is it! The best part? It’s all made in one bowl, and in about 30 minutes you can have 8 jumbo super yummy banana nut muffins! So let’s talk about bananas. Banana bread seriously got a glow up last year. 2020 was unofficially the year of the banana bread. But this year, maybe it’s the year of the banana nut muffin? No? I dunno, I’ve been more into muffins…

Continue ReadingA refreshing yet richly flavored blueberry curd, made with fresh blueberries and orange juice, fills this sweet shortcrust pastry. Topped with meringue that is torched to perfection, and some fresh fruit – you’ll want to make sure you have extra tarts, because everyone will be asking for more! Also, the beautiful natural dark purple color of these tarts makes them a show stopper! It’s funny, because as a food blogger, we always test our recipes ahead of time. So that means that even though, for example. Valentine’s day is February 14th – I was making and testing all the pink…

Continue ReadingThese are thick, bakery style, chewy cookies! Made with chocolate chunks that melt into pools of dark chocolate, and pink and red M&Ms – your Valentine will definitely be thankful if you make them these cookies! Okay, so like most people, I love a thin, crispy chocolate chip cookie, a little underdone, so there’s a bit of chewy goodness. BUT, I wanted to take on the challenge of creating big fat cookies, so there would be room to put extra chocolate chunks and M&Ms! The great thing about these cookies is that they actually come out thick AND chewy, AAAAND…

Continue ReadingThese are the fluffiest, most orange flavored muffins you’ll make! Top them off with a sweet orange glaze and a candied orange slice, and you’ll be in citrus Heaven! The muffin itself is made with a mixture of Navel or Valencia Orange and Blood Orange, and the glaze is made with a fresh orange juice. It has a distinct orange flavor, with a little bit of fruity pebbles type flavor in there too! If you have extra citrus, the candied orange slices are a great dessert to make that you can snack on even when the muffins are gone! What…
