Butter Pecan Pound Cake
A buttery pound cake packed with nutty pecans, this Butter Pecan Pound Bundt Cake is the definition of comfort baked from scratch. Sour cream in the batter gives it an extra-tender crumb while brown sugar brings out the warmth and richness of the pecans. We used both finely chopped pecans and pecan pieces to ensure that each bite of cake held a nutty morsel, big or small.
Beer Cheese Pretzel Tart
Acting as a chewy, edible bowl, a puffy pretzel tart base holds our decadent Beer Cheese Filling that packs a triple threat of Gouda, Cheddar, and cream cheese, offering all the wondrous flavors of Oktoberfest.
Maple-Bacon Cheddar Pickle Loaf
Pickles? In bread? Oh heck yes. The brininess of the pickles are what make this savory bread so brilliant.
Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
These grown-up–portioned treats bake up soft from edge to edge and will stay that way for several days thanks to moisture-attracting brown sugar and soft raisins in the cookie dough. Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts if you like.
Key Lime Pie
This is the modern classic version of Key Lime Pie—nubbly graham cracker crust filled with tangy, zest-flecked custard and topped with billowy whipped cream. Each bite is equal parts sweet, tart, creamy, and crunchy, and always a crowd favorite.
Cinnamon Sugar Morning Buns
It’s a callback to the cinnamon sugar-packed original but done one better. With our Danish Dough base and brown sugar and cinnamon filling, there was only one thing missing from these Cinnamon Sugar Morning Buns: crunchy, toasted pecans.
Sheet Pan Banana Split
This Sheet Pan Banana Split is a make-ahead dessert that is the ultimate party trick. With all the components of a banana split—jammy strawberry preserves, fresh bananas, rich ganache, and a buttery Waffle Cone Crust—packed into ready-made servings, you’ll be the magician of the kitchen with one swing of the freezer door.
Brian Hart Hoffman’s Buttermilk Biscuits
Though he was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, our editor-in-chief Brian is a citizen of the world whose background as a flight attendant and career in publishing have allowed him to travel the globe in search of the best baked goods. He’s fallen in love with specialties from France, Portugal, England, and even Japan, but his Southern roots have given him a soft spot for good, old-fashioned Southern biscuits. Rich, buttery, and flaky, Brian’s go-to Buttermilk Biscuits are an ode to the perfect Southern biscuit.
Fudgy Brownies
Melted chocolate and butter transform the texture of these brownies into pure decadence, with the boost of fat from the chocolate’s cocoa butter enriching the crumb. An extra egg also bumps up the brownies’ quota of fat We still added a touch of cocoa powder to round out the flavor but nixed the milk, as there’s plenty of fudgy richness already present With a glossy top, dense interior, and chewy finish, these brownies are a natural crowd-pleaser.
Spinach and Artichoke Quiche
Creamy artichoke dip meets flaky pastry in this light and airy Spinach and Artichoke Quiche. A buttery Pâte Brisée base is topped with garlicky sautéed spinach and artichokes and sprinkled with crumbles of goat cheese to give texture and tang to the smooth egg filling. With classic flavors and a polished look, this quiche is sure to become a new favorite.
Chocolate Pudding Cake
Malted milkshake turned into a decadent Chocolate Pudding Cake that might be more chocolate than actual cake! Chocolate malted milk is combined with sour cream and dark, strong coffee for the layers. Then we added a pudding layer with even more chocolate malt and malted milk ball candy. Finally, this beauty is topped with a silky chocolate frosting and (you guessed it!) malted milk candy.
Coconut Hand Pies
For these decadent hand pies, we encase a creamy coconut filling with flaky pastry dough and finish it off with a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Egg, Bacon, and Pecorino Danish
Bacon and pecorino pair perfectly with a soft, oven-fried egg on this beautiful savory Egg, Bacon, and Pecorino Danish. Made with our Danish Dough, this could be the savory dish your weekend needs!
Banana Upside-Down Cake with Walnuts and Coconut
If you’re a fan of Bananas Foster, then this ultra-moist cake will be your upside-down dream come true. Coconut flakes and cream of coconut lend a tropical vibe and subtle nutty flavor.
Bacon Cheddar Poppy Seed Muffins
These Bacon Cheddar Poppy Seed Muffins will satisfy all of your savory breakfast cravings.
Browned Butter Hummingbird Coffee Cake
This is your best excuse for having cake for breakfast. Browned butter adds depth to this unexpected twist on the classic Southern banana-pineapple confection. Pecan streusel is just, well, the icing on the coffee cake.
Zucchini Banana Bread
Zucchini brings extra moisture to this classic quick bread, making for a more tender crumb than you’d find in standard banana bread. A medley of warm spices complement both the banana and summer squash beautifully.
