While this recipe does require a bit of planning ahead to allow time for the cake to chill, that actually works to your advantage. It forces you to prepare most of the cake before the party kicks off, leaving only the finishing touches to add just before serving. That means more time to relax and enjoy time with your guests!

We love this for Cinco de Mayo – it’s the ultimate dessert you can make ahead, plus it’s festive and springy at the same time. It’s also great for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day! It’s my favorite!

While I’ve used canned enchilada sauce in the past for convenience, there really is nothing quite like a homemade sauce for your enchiladas. The flavor is so rich and vibrant, and it’s incredibly easy to make too! Prepare your sauce ahead of time for quick and convenient use when making these cheese and onion enchiladas or to enjoy with an array of other Mexican-inspired recipes.

Even better is the fact that this dish comes together in just one skillet – big flavor with minimal cleanup! The sauce bubbles to the perfect consistency, brightened by a stir of freshly chopped parsley just before serving. It’s an irresistibly comforting choice for spooning over creamy mashed potatoes or served alongside your favorite roasted veggies.

The creamy mayo mixture serves three essential purposes. It keeps the cod fillets perfectly moist and tender as they bake, infuses them with a rich, tangy garlic flavor, and acts as the perfect “glue” to help the crispy topping adhere. Speaking of which, the panko and fresh basil topping bakes into the ultimate golden crust, offering a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the flaky fish beneath.

I’m in love with this curd cake. It’s incredibly easy to make, bakes in just 30 minutes, and requires minimal mixing. The secret is the crumble-like cake dough, which creates the perfect buttery base and topping. Packed with bright lime flavor from the curd, this cake is rich and citrusy in every bite. You can use homemade lime curd or grab a jar from the store to make preparation a cinch!

I love this in spring, but it also makes a good “anytime” coffee cake for brunch. We host a lot of out of town company, so I love to have a warm cake just out of the oven to serve to my guests!
