Pro-tip: Roll the cake in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. The cloth absorbs the moisture from the steam of the cake as it cools and prevents it from sticking to each other.

​

This Easy Lemon Blueberry Cake is totally celebration worthy - it not only looks stunning, it's absolutely delicious. Moist and fluffy, it's an easy no-fail layer cake made with fresh blueberries and a creamy, tangy lemon buttercream.

Pro-tip: The best time to add lemon zest to the cake is when you're creaming the butter and sugar. The roughness of the sugar releases the oils from the zest, resulting in maximum lemon flavour - no extract required!

In a baking mood but looking for something with a simpler, more rustic appearance? This Olive Oil Cake is a fabulous choice! Make this classic Mediterranean-style cake in just one bowl. It's moist and tender with the bright and beautiful tang of fresh lemon! Serve with complimenting fresh fruit, if desired.

We're changing up the flavour profile with these Chai Spiced Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting! The warming flavours of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger combine beautifully with the vanilla in the cupcake. If you're a fan of chai, even on the smallest level, you're going to LOVE these!

Pro-tip: Using heavy cream instead of milk makes for silky smooth frosting. (Be sure to follow all our tips in the post for making the fluffiest buttercream frosting.)

Happy baking!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
