Eating healthy should still be delicious.
Brown Butter Cake with Cocoa
A good bit of salt enhances all the flavors here. Combine that with rich browned butter and deep cocoa and you've got an amazingly decadent (yet light) dessert.
Strawberry-Almond Cake Roll
Don't panic--this strawberry and whipped cream-filled cake is surprisingly easy to roll. The tender almond cake is perfect for enveloping the sweet strawberries and rich cream.
Five-Ingredient Chocolate Cakes
This gorgeous dessert uses only five ingredients--sugar, butter, eggs, cake flour, and cocoa (we don't count water, salt, and cooking spray). The chocolate sauce that tops the individual cakes is luscious, thick, and glossy, with full-on chocolate flavor.
Rhubarb Jam Cheesecakes
Pull a cake out when you start making dinner, and it'll be ready for dessert. Now that's sweet! Everyone will get an individual cheesecake, perfectly portioned with creamy cheese filling, tender rhubarb, and crunchy granola.
Macadamia-Almond Cake
You'd never guess that this gorgeous cake is gluten-free. Made with a combination of almond flour and macadamia nuts, it has a naturally rich flavor and delightful crumbly texture.
