Pecan Sour Cream Pound Cake
I won first place with this pecan sour cream pound cake at the Cuyahoga County Fair (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1993. For a nuttier variation, you can substitute 1 cup of the flour with 1 cup of ground pecans.
Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake
Made for a friend with celiac disease. I managed to get this cake to be light and fluffy, not the dense brick that most GF cakes become. This recipe is adapted from a red velvet cake recipe, but there were so many changes that it is pretty much my own creation now. Frost with your favorite buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
Italian Pinwheels
These Italian pinwheels are a finger food roll-up snack, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or a light lunch that's packed with all the flavors you love in an Italian sub sandwich.
