Summer Bakes I Can't Stop Making


Summer Bakes I Can't Stop Making

Hello Reader

There's something special about baking in the summer. With juicy berries, ripe peaches, cherries and plums at their absolute best, you don't need complicated recipes to create an unforgettable dessert.

A handful of fresh fruit, a simple batter or buttery pastry, and you've got a bake that's every bit as impressive as it is easy. So I've brought together my favourite summer baking recipes that let seasonal fruit do the talking.

If you're looking for a show-stopping tart to share with friends, a rustic galette for a weekend treat, or a simple cake to enjoy with an afternoon coffee, I hope you'll find plenty of inspiration to make the most of summer's sweetest harvest before the season slips away!

πŸ‘‰ Summer Berry Tart - Light, elegant, and effortlessly impressive, it’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for warm-weather gatherings, picnics, or anytime you want to let ripe berries shine.

πŸ‘‰ Cherry and Apricot Cake with Amaretto Cream - This cake is made with a light and buttery sponge and served with a dollop of amaretto cream, and bursts with summer fresh flavours!

πŸ‘‰ Rustic Yellow Plum and Blueberry Galette - So much easier to make than a traditional pie and tastes just as good! This is a great way to use beautiful seasonal plums and blueberries.

πŸ‘‰ Summer Peach Cake with Red Berries - The buttery crumb and distinct almond flavour are what set this simple peach cake apart and take it to new heights!

πŸ‘‰ Maple Peach Cobbler - A classic, foolproof recipe, done in less than an hour, that lets the sweet flavours of peaches really shine. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a perfect summer dessert.

πŸ‘‰ Strawberry Marsala Cobbler - This strawberry cobbler with a splash of sweet marsala wine in the filling makes for a wonderfully quick summer dessert. A simple dish with a little taste upgrade.

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!
