Preserved Lemon Loaf Cake #SummerDessertWeek

Tender cake with a punch of lemony goodness from the preserved lemons used in the batter.  This cake, like many loaf cakes is delicious warm from the oven and continues to stay moist and develop even more flavor in the next day or two.  That is...if it lasts that long!!

 This is the final day of Summer Dessert Week. I hope you have had as much fun as I....

Orange Skillet Cake #SummerDessertWeek

This Orange Skillet Cake is chock-full of flavor from the zest and puree of Navel Oranges.  It is a wonderful coffee cake served up as is, or an amazing dessert with the addition of whipped cream or, as I topped it, Orange Sherbet.

We are sharing Summer Desserts this week.......

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake #SummerDessertWeek

This cake is easy, delicious, and impressive.  Tender, tart rhubarb is sweetened and caramelized in a cast iron skillet, covered with a citrus-tinged cake, and finished with a crunchy crumble.

Cherry Crisp

I am lucky to have a daughter with a cherry tree.  Normally this tree is very prolific and I am the happy recipient of all the bounty it provides.  This year was rather sparse.  It only provided enough cherries for this delicious crisp so we savored every bite.

Mixed Fruit Dump Cake

Your husband just came home from the neighbor's house and tells you he invited him to come for dinner in an hour, you quickly pull another steak from the freezer and throw together this amazing dessert using whatever fruits you have in the refrigerator. Voila!!  A great finish to your dinner in less than an hour's time.

In this version, I used up some rhubarb, blackberries, and strawberries that were perfect for baking or smoothies but no longer beautiful enough to serve by themselves....
