Butter pecan ice cream is (in my opinion) one of the best ice cream flavors! I love getting the chunks of pecans laced throughout the buttery ice cream base…so satisfying. So, we decided to create a cupcake inspired by this iconic ice cream flavor. These cupcakes have a brown butter cupcake base that has pecan pieces scattered within all while being topped with a seriously yummy brown butter marshmallow buttercream that’s as light as a cloud!

I have never seen/tasted a butter pecan cupcake before that actually tastes like buttery nutty goodness. It’s always a very lightly extract-flavored cupcake base that just tastes like vanilla. We wanted to avoid any sort of confusion with these cupcakes regarding the flavor and made sure that you will taste butter pecan in each and every bite, through and through! To achieve this punch of flavor though, you will have to put in a tiny bit of effort, but it is 100% worth it.

To whoever is reading this, I can PROMISE you that this will be the absolute best chocolate cake you will ever have in your entire life. No other cake can compare to this one. This cake is so unbelievably moist and light, but rich in serious chocolate flavor from both the cake and the buttercream, you’ll be addicted from the moment you take the first bite. The buttercream is sooooo silky and surprisingly not heavy at all despite the delectable flavor!

I am a sucker for double chocolate cake - especially this one. It’s just one of those craving itches that’s really hard to scratch unless you have it then and there. Whenever I see the chocolate cake in the movie Matilda I get that itch! It just looks so moist, fudgy, chocolaty, and delicious (despite looking rather gross while it’s all over Bruce’s face 😂). This is one of those cakes that you can take one slice, realize you can eat another, take another slice, eat it, and go back for a few more forkfuls of cake straight from the whole cake!! It’s truly irresistible 😍

This dessert is one of a kind - with 5 layers, this lush offers incredible textures and flavors like nothing you’ve ever had before, making the dessert sinfully delicious. I know what you’re probably thinking though…“this has to be unbearably sweet and heavy”. In reality, this lush is not overly sweet at all - By adding a tangy cream cheese layer and using slightly bitter semi-sweet chocolate chips, you are able to enjoy the flavors of the dessert without being overwhelmed with sugar. The typical heaviness of cookie dough is eliminated by whipping the edible cookie dough layer into a light and fluffy, cloud-like texture, so you can keep on enjoying that delicious, addictive cookie dough flavor without feeling yucky!

5-layer desserts do seem daunting at first, but this lush was made so anyone can make it with ease. The base is a simple chocolate chip cookie and only baked element of the entire dessert, the cream cheese layer is only a few ingredients, the cookie dough layer whips up super fast, the chocolate pudding layer is just a Jell-o box chocolate pudding, and the top is just a layer of Cool Whip! It couldn’t get any easier in terms of a multi-layer dessert that will be sure to impress your friends and family.

You will never have a banana cupcake as fluffy, light, and moist as this! When taking a bite, it literally feels like you’re eating air! This can sometimes be a problem because it makes them super easy to eat - I could accidentally eat a few of these without thinking 😂 Not only are the cupcakes themselves super light, but the cinnamon marshmallow buttercream is sooooo dreamy and comforting - it’s a small taste of Fall that you can get at any time of the year. We also sprinkled some chopped walnuts on top to give a lovely crunch and nuttiness that adds to the essence of Fall in these cupcakes.

I feel like it’s inevitable to have a bunch of ripening bananas laying around the house. We’ll go through kicks of buying enough bananas for the week and then only eating 1-2 of them because we forget that they’re there. They get way to brown to even consider eating normally, so the next best thing to use them for is this Gluten-Free Banana Cupcake recipe! What I love about this recipe is that it only makes 1 dozen cupcakes and not some obscene amount that you can’t store anywhere. It makes the perfect amount for you, your family, and your friends!

I love brownies…you love brownies…EVERYONE LOVES BROWNIES!! You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t! Well, I can confidently say that these gluten-free brownie are the best brownies that will ever grace your kitchen. They’re soooo thick, fudgy, and chocolaty, you can’t get enough of them! Not only are there milk chocolate chips laced through the batter, but there are also semi-sweet chocolate chips MELTED into the batter along with some Hershey’s cocoa powder, making these the ultimate chocolate-lover’s dessert or snack.

We’ve crafted these brownies to deliver you the perfect bite. They can be served room temperature, warm, cold, or even frozen! They don’t turn rock hard in the freezer, so storing them is a breeze. If a week later you’re craving one of these bad boys, you can just pop one out of the freezer and start snacking! Now, I can tell you that the ability to eat them frozen was intentional, but I would be lying 😂. That discovery was made when I was too impatient to let it thaw on the counter for a torturous 15 minutes before digging in, but hey, who can blame me? Now, why don’t you grab all of the ingredients and get yourself a little bit closer to heaven in a pan!

It's officially strawberry season!!!! Well, it's June 23rd as I'm writing this, so it might not be strawberry season anymore when you're reading it. 😂🍓 If you want a scrumptious, sweet, and homemade strawberry topping then you've come to the right place. There is nothing like a fruit topping made from fresh fruit of the season. Added bonus if you get to actually pick them yourself! Every summer my daughters and I go picking strawberries at our local berry farm and come home with tons of fruit. This year was no different; we came home with 2 huge buckets of strawberries...I believe it ended up being just about 10 pounds 😳.

This strawberry topping was on the top of my list to make. It's super quick and easy and soooo good. Nothing you buy from the grocery store can come close to the fresh taste of this topping. Just wash your berries, slice them up, throw them in a pot, do a little magic, and BAM! You have the perfect strawberry dessert topping.

Summer is finally here! That means it's time for fresh, sweet, summer fruits. Strawberries are the tell-all signal that summer is officially upon us. We can't wait to go to our local berry farm and pick our own berries in this house! I know you can get them at the grocery store, but those really can't compare to fresh ones. They're so much sweeter and juicier, it's unbelievable. Pure perfection.

These Gluten-free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are the perfect dessert to utilize your fresh-picked berries. The vanilla cupcake is butter based, but there is also sour cream added in to pump up the moisture. I made these in a jumbo muffin pan so they would be the perfect size to make single serve shortcakes. Just slice them in half and add the strawberry topping and whipped cream -- super easy! The cake holds up beautifully to the strawberry topping and whipped cream. I even left a fully assembled shortcake in the refrigerator overnight and it was still perfect the next day. I'm sure these strawberry shortcake cupcakes will become a summer favorite for you, just like they are at my house.

It's holiday baking time and you need to get those Christmas treats ready! So, why not have some classic gingerbread this year? Better yet, how about all of those delicious flavors packed into a cupcake? These cupcakes are made with butter, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. They're a wonderful combination of everything Christmas. We topped these spicy cupcakes with our sweet vanilla buttercream, but added just a touch of lemon flavor.

You could top these cupcakes with chopped walnuts for some crunch, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a mini gingerbread cookie just like we did. They're delicious no matter what way you choose to serve them. Treat your guests to something special this Christmas and make these gingerbread cupcakes!

Lemon bars are a classic dessert. They are so light and just melt in your mouth; So delicious that you'll have a hard time just eating one tiny square. They are sweet with just a tiny zing from the fresh lemon juice. That leads me to saying that I highly suggest you use fresh lemon juice for this recipe because it makes a world of a difference. Juicing and zesting only takes a few seconds to do and adds loads of lemony-flavored goodness! So, next time you're at the store pick up a few lemons and bake up a batch of these amazing lemon bars. 🍋
