What to Bake this Weekend!

Looking for something to make with all the fresh fruit and summer tomatoes? Here’s a mixture of sweet and savory bakes I’ve made over the last week, using local seasonal ingredients. One layer cakes just make life easier, and individual hand pies are an upgrade from a classic tomato sandwich.

Hope you enjoy these! And if you try one, please be sure to leave a review or tag me on Instagram with @twocupsflour so I can see your bakes.

Cheers!

Basil Peach Ricotta Cake

This soft, single-layer cake is full of juicy yellow peaches, garden-fresh basil, and creamy ricotta. A delicate, not-too-sweet easy dessert cake. I serve it with just a dusting of powdered sugar or a little whipped cream.

One reader says: “After my family instantly devoured it, this became my new favorite recipe! I've been looking for a new go-to cake for summer events and this is it. The overall flavor is light, sweet, decadent, and you can taste all the flavors equally throughout. Even better, it's one of the easiest desserts to make!”

Mixed Berry Yogurt Cake

New on the blog, another easy summer fruit cake with a mixture of fresh raspberries and blackberries. Topped with a light vanilla mascarpone whipped cream and a swirl of honey.

Savory Tomato Galettes

Flaky pie crust wrapped around sweet summer tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a goat cheese spread. Perfect sized savory hand pies for an outdoor summer meal.

One reader says: “Not only are they gorgeous, but they are delicious!! Perfect for brunch, a quick lunch, a grab and go, or a dinner side.”

Peach Muffins

Try a batch of brown sugar peach muffins with bakery style tops, chunks of fresh peaches, and a crunchy sugar coating. Super easy to bake and full of peach flavor.

One reader says: “If you love peaches and love muffins, like I do, then you’ll love these!! There’s a hint of cinnamon and cloves. They’re made for peaches 😉 I sprinkled with a sanding sugar cinnamon mix which tops them off perfectly. Great recipe Jenn!”
