Lemon Strawberry Pound Cake with Chocolate Ganache
Lemon Strawberry Pound Cake with Chocolate Ganache is a variation of my Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake. With Easter around the corner, I wanted to create a strawberry dessert that is perfect for Spring and Easter. Strawberries are starting to come into season, and I love fresh strawberries.

Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
This Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake is a moist, luscious, buttery, lemon pound cake made with beautiful fresh blueberries throughout and glazed with a sweet, tangy lemon icing.

It is topped with a cream cheese frosting with coconut extract and…

Nutty Wacky Crazy Cake
I was looking for a delicious, rich, moist chocolate cake recipe and decided to combine the AllRecipes.com Crazy Cake and Sweet Little Bluebird’s Chocolate Crazy Cake. For the icing I used the Best Chocolate Frosting recipe on AlllRecipes.com. What makes this cake crazy? (Other than this crazy cook baking it for her crazy family?) It has no…
Apple Cinnamon White Cake with Vanilla Glaze
Sometimes the planets align and the first time I make a recipe and it turns out perfectly. Other times, what can I say, it is a learning experience. This was one of my learning experiences but with a happy ending. My fellow AllRecipes.com AllStar, lutzflcat, (who takes amazing photos by the way),…
