Relish Recipes — baking

This is a little different than our normal recipes, we don't often do advanced baking like this with so many steps, but I felt it was a special occasion to share one of my most tried and true recipes for cakes. Every year for my birthday I like to make myself a cake based on what ever mood I am feeling, and what ever flavours inspire me, this time I wanted to embrace the fun of bright colours and funfetti for entering my 30's! This recipe takes a couple steps, and has a lot of heart and soul, but it is very well worth it in the end!

Are you a rhubarb fan as much as Chef Donna-Marie? Every season when her backyard rhubarb pop up, she looks for delicious ways to use it. This recipe features a buttery crust and crumble topping with a sweet, tart creamy rhubarb filling. It's the best of both worlds in one decadent and simple dessert.

Match the absolutely adorable energy of the Le Creuset Mini Fruit Cocottes with two perfectly tasty cobblers that pair with the cocotte themselves! Fresh farmers market fruits are becoming available and the beautiful weather is settling in, which means that it's no better time than now to make some tasty, summer inspired treats.

If it's time to spring clean your pantry, these Clean-The-Cupboard cookies are sweet & salty, and loaded with so many delicious things. They are ideal if you have half bags of chocolate chips*, coconut, cereal, dried fruit even hidden Halloween candy. 

I have been making this fool-proof recipe for years.  In fact, angel food cake has long been one of my favourite desserts.  The light and fluffy texture pairs very well with fresh fruit and  a generous dollop of whipped cream.  That's exactly how I liked to dress up the tiny, store-bought, angel food cakes that my mom treated me to, when I was young.  I still serve it that way! If you prefer a Gluten Free version, reduce the quantity of flour to 3/4 cup, making sure to use GF flour that is 1 to 1 ratio with Xanthan gum. - Cassidy
