It’s that time of year where I can’t go to the grocery store without picking up one (or several) containers of fresh strawberries.

They’re just so sweet and perfect right now! 

So I’ve been digging into my archives and making all of the strawberry things, from fresh strawberry bread to homemade strawberry lemonade.

This Strawberry Tart recipe came from my friend Erin from Texanerin Baking. After sharing it with you several years ago, I was reminded of how delicious it is and decided it was time to bring it back to your attention as well.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you might have figured out that I love individually sized desserts.

They’re just so cute, fun to eat, and are great for parties or taking to potlucks and cookouts.

Mini pecan pies? Better than a full pecan pie. 

Mini pumpkin pies? So much cuter and more fun than a regular-sized pie.

Mini s’mores cheesecakes? Well, I think you get the idea.

And is there a more summer-perfect pie than cherry pie? I feel like there has to be a cherry pie or cherry crisp at every summer barbecue. It’s just the rule!

The minute I see fresh sweet cherries on sale at the store I have to buy them up and pack all of their goodness into Cherry Hand Pies for a portable version of this summer fave.

Cherry Crisp is simple, quick, and delicious. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate weeknight dessert.

Last week I was tidying up our pantry and realized that I haven’t used my ice cream maker in quite some time. So I pulled it forward on the shelf, gave it a good wipe down and decided that I need to teach my girl how to make some homemade ice cream.

I scanned the fridge and pantry to see if we had everything on hand to whip up a simple vanilla ice cream base, but it was a no-go because I had used the rest of the cream for a delish Alfredo sauce last week.

So I totally switched gears and decided I was in the mood for a crisp – cherry crisp to be exact.

And I just so happened to have all of those ingredients on hand – complete with a pint of vanilla bean ice cream in the freezer.

No worries though, we’ll get to the homemade vanilla ice cream as soon as I pick up some more heavy cream on our next grocery trip.

I don’t know what the weather is like in your area, but here in Ohio, we’re in that odd phase of the year where one day it’s 90 and the next it’s 65.

While I am a true fall lover at heart, we’re still trying to hold onto the last couple of weeks of summer.

Which basically means I’m still whipping up key lime and fresh berry desserts all while craving pumpkin roll and a big slice of pumpkin crunch cake.

I don’t know if you happened to catch my post last week for Key Lime Pie Ice Cream, but I’ve pretty much been obsessed with key lime everything since then, so I thought it was the perfect time to share these super simple Key Lime Pie Bars with you.

They’ve been on the site for ages, but they were definitely in need of a little refresh, so I tweaked the recipe and added new photos.

And now I’m just over here contemplating what key lime dessert to whip up next!

7Up Pound Cake

A simple and delicious recipe for homemade pound cake made with 7Up.

The post 7Up Pound Cake appeared first on My Baking Addiction.

Having a great pound cake recipe in your baking back pocket is a real time saver when you need a cake to bake. This 7Up pound cake recipe is about as classic and delicious a cake as you’ll ever find. It’s an old-fashioned recipe that I’ve updated with a couple of tweaks to amplify its lemony flavor, making it completely irresistible!

Two slices of 7up pound cake on white plates, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries

Years ago I was given a recipe for 7Up pound cake from a woman I used to work with named Connie. It was sweet, lemony, and had an incredible crunchy bottom to it. Sometimes she’d serve it plain, and other times, she finished it off with a zesty 7Up lemon glaze.

Seriously, it was to die for!

Connie was a from-scratch cook and rarely had exact measurements for her creations.

You know the kind of recipes I’m talking about here. The ones passed down through the generations, where you literally have to guess how much flour, sugar, butter, etc. each recipe needs.

Needless to say, I was never able to recreate her incredible food based on her vague directions. She’d give basic details then throw in phrases like, Oh, a handful of this and Just a pinch of that.

But one day, she called me down to her office and had an actual recipe for her 7Up pound cake written in her pristine, cursive handwriting on a yellow sticky note. I was floored!

After receiving the recipe, I made it countless times, always playing with the toppings and trying to perfect that 7Up glaze (which I never did). For whatever reason, my cakes never tasted as good as Connie’s. At some point, I forgot about this cake and even lost the recipe.

Recently, I wanted to make a pound cake and Connie’s 7Up version immediately popped into my head. I became a little obsessed with finding the recipe and after a valiant effort of digging through countless cookbooks and recipe binders, I came up empty handed.

I turned to the internet and happened upon a recipe that I thought was pretty darn close, so I went with it, adding a couple of tweaks along the way.

It turned out fantastic and it even had that perfect crunchy bottom that was always my favorite part of Connie’s recipe.

It was still missing a little something that I remember from Connie’s cake way back when, but I’m starting to think that she may have a little secret ingredient that she decided to keep to herself.
