Sour Cream Rhubarb Coffee Cake
This rhubarb coffee cake with sour cream is an "any time of day" cake that my mom used to make. Good warm or cold, this cake is incredibly moist inside, while the surface has a tiny bit of crisp from the sugar granules. Tangy rhubarb and sour cream are offset by the sweet cake and sugar sprinkle. It is DE-lish!
Käsesahnetorte (German Yogurt Mousse Cake)
In Germany, the filling for this classic cake (called Käsesahnetorte) is made with quark but quark is not easy to find in the U.S. and quite pricey. I use Greek yogurt instead, and it tastes just the like the original. The cake needs to set for at least 4 hours in the fridge, and it tastes better on the second day, so I always make it the day before serving.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes
My kids love these chocolate chip pancakes that are light and fluffy and loaded with gooey chocolate. You can also sprinkle the chocolate chips on top once the pancakes are on the griddle instead of folding them into the batter — that way you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips per pancake.
