Chocolate Rum Torte
A classic chocolate torte is something that everyone should have in their repertoire, especially if they entertain often. This one, made with rum, is rich and fudgey, a perfect dessert if there ever was one. I like to serve it with cold whipped cream and strawberries to keep it light, but if you’re all for…

Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Come fall, apple farms and bakeries alike begin selling fresh and addictive apple cider donuts. Whether they’re glazed with buttermilk and cider, or rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, apple cider donuts are about as classic a fall treat as you can get.

Strawberry Picnic Cake
If ever there was an ideal cake to bring along on a picnic, this one would be it. It’s bursting with fragrant and juicy strawberries that turn a classic vanilla cake into a fruity, subtly sweet mess. It’s not one of those cakes that require lots of prep work, or even a significantly long list…
