Luscious lemon citrus cake will win your heart in one bite.

Words cannot describe my family’s love for lemons. Even if it isn’t summer, we always want anything that has lemon in it. Sometimes, we use lemon to marinate our meat to give it that extra zest. Sometimes, I make lemonade even if it’s really cold. And most of the time, of course, I make a dessert that has lemon as its main ingredient. Lemon in a sweet decadent dessert usually means heaven. My husband and I usually buy a lot of lemons at the grocery. The thing is, we usually fail to ask each other whether we already have this certain item.

So most of the time we have an onslaught of lemons at home. What to do with them? Of course, transform them to a dessert recipe that everyone will enjoy such as lemon citrus cake. Usually, that’s either a cookie recipe or a cake recipe.

Cakes are the safest bet though. They make good use of a lot of lemons and that will prevent us from wasting them. My husband usually loves lemon poppy seed cake, but he will eat anything lemony. This is where this lemon citrus cake comes in. It’s an amazing recipe that both my husband and my kids couldn’t get enough of. They love the taste and the softness of the cake.

Have you tried pink flamingo cake yet? If not, you need to get your skinny bird legs into the kitchen!

My grandparents transported themselves from the brisk winters of Michigan to the sunny skies of Florida, a very long time ago. While there, grandma picked up a few new baking secrets that she brought all of us to love. One of the yummy desserts that granny bakes up while we snowbirds visit is the ever famous pink flamingo cake.

Pink flamingo cake is dripping with Florida flair. For fun, it is pink, and for two, it is made with crushed pineapple, cherry jello, and vanilla pudding. Yum!

How can one simply only have one bowl of hamburger soup? They can’t.

It seemed like my mom always had a pot of soup on the stove while I was growing up. Even during the summer months mom could be found preparing soup for the family. One of her most memorable soups was and is hamburger soup! If you haven’t every had hamburger soup you really ought to. It’s very easy to make and quite diet friendly!

You won’t find any wheat, sugar, or dairy in this delectable hamburger soup. If you really want to keep it a carb-friendly option simply cut out the potatoes from the recipe.

Swig sugar cookies are grandma’s greatest invention!

Okay, so I’m not insinuating that my grandma invented swig sugar cookies, but I’m convinced that someone’s grandma did. Cookies like these are just too darn good to have been thought up by some random Joe. Swig sugar cookies are made with a magic touch that only grandmothers have. Now, of course, if you have a good recipe to follow, you can make these magical cookies just as good and grandma.

Swig sugar cookies are relatively easy to make and they don’t contain too many ingredients. You can make your own icing for the cookies but you don’t have too and the store bought stuff will work just fine.

Basement brownies gripped my taste buds with an unseen force that literally blew my hair back.

I am always on the prowl for fun and exciting brownie recipes. Seriously, I love them. When I came across these basement brownies I was intrigued. I mean, just look at the name, what does that even mean? Well, after making and tasting basement brownies I really didn’t cae how they were named because they were so good I think I felt my socks leave my feet in a rapturous knock.

Basement brownies are seriously easy to make and require only a handful of ingredients. You get to use a boxed cake mix which always makes things easier. Don’t like boxed cake mixes? Feel free to whip up your own 🙂

Have you heard? Carrot cake is all the rage when serving dessert at a dinner party.

Aunt Murrielle’s classic carrot cake is everyone’s favorite. My aunt loves to cook anything using vegetables as her main ingredients. Whenever we have a reunion and she is the one assigned to make something, we always expect her to make a cake such as a cucumber cake or even bean sprout cookies. The good thing about it is that you will not really mind that they are vegetables because they taste so good! All of my nieces and nephews, including my two kids, actually love all of her desserts. I have a lot of nephews who throw tantrums whenever they have to eat vegetables, but Aunt Murrielle’s desserts are always the exception. I even see a couple of my cousins begging her for her recipes, but she wouldn’t give them.

Aunt Murielle’s classic carrot cake is something that everyone requests even if it’s just for an afternoon tea. She makes the softest and the moistest carrot cake that everyone just couldn’t resist. Her classic carrot cake is already an institution in our reunions.

You are pretty sure that the serving platter will be empty by the end of a meal because everyone would really want a slice. I am not sure what is Aunt Murrielle’s secret, but everyone truly cannot say no to a slice of her wonderful carrot cake recipe!

Did I ever tell you about my grandma’s famous sponge cake recipe? Welp, settle in folks because you’re about to hear it.

This sponge cake recipe is a must-know for every woman. My mother has always said that a girl needs to have a basic knowledge of any recipe in the kitchen. It’s because these basic recipes are actually what will help you create the more complicated recipes. She told me that if I want to make a complicated stew, I should know how to make a basic beef stew. If I want to make a really beautiful cake, I should be able to make a simple pound cake or a simple sponge cake, which are mostly the base for most cakes. My mom has her own sponge cake recipe, but I figured that sometimes, I need to find something on my own.

This sponge cake recipe is what I found. It’s very simple and very easy to make, but you will be surprised at how well it will turn out. Just follow all the steps indicated and you will have your perfect sponge cake by the end of it all.

This sponge cake recipe gives you the best moist sponge cake that I have ever tasted. Everyone will surely fall in love with this once you serve it to them. Other than that, you can make this simple sponge cake into a full-blown cake if it’s for a special occasion!

Quick tip: The sponge cake will bake better if you don’t use a convection oven, meaning use heat coming from top and bottom only. Also, do not open the oven until the baking time is over.
