Now that summer berries are in season, there's nothing like the pure taste of berries served with a simple cake like sponge cake. This recipe is great baked in a tube pan, but also works well baked in two 8" layers, then sandwiched with whipped cream or lemon curd.

Before making this cake, check out the tip on beating egg whites.

This recipe was used by Barb for the filling of my delicious birthday cake. It is also great in tiny little tart shells!

Here's the recipe for Sundried Tomato Spread from the VanEats Launch Party.

This spread is excellent on crackers or Scandinavian mini toasts which are known as Skorpa [in German only: pick Skorpa from the pulldown menu]

Cooking by Numbers (via Andrea) is an interesting source of recipes. Just specify what you have in your fridge and cupboard it and it will suggest appropriate recipes.

There's nothing like fresh muffins first thing in the morning! I made these Bluebery Oat Muffins for work on Friday for Kristina's birthday. These muffins also work well with other berries, fresh or dried. Try them with a combination of blueberries and cranberries for a tart treat!!

Just another site for finding recipes 'n stuff. I've been on their email list for almost 3 years, and they've always sent a recipe to my mailbox everyday! A definite place to check out! =) It's called World Wide Recipes - http://wwrecipes.com

Editor's Note: Thanks Ryan, we definitely will!

This recipe hasn't been handed down by generations of Minnesotans, but it's pretty darn good! The cherries add a tart contrast and make my chocolate zucchini cake really bodacious!!

Ever since I first tasted Edie's Zucchini Cake in Munich, I have completely been in love with this delicious but easy to make cake. This recipe, which has been handed down from generation to generation of Minnesotans is absolutely scrummy (moist and chocolately good)!

Here's one of Paula's favourite recipes from her review of our launch party, Prosciutto Bites

This is Barb's "adult" version of the nostalgic Ding Dong cake served at Marco's sugarladen birthday party (Part 1! Only princesses and princes have more than one birthday party!) hosted by Lisa and Rebecca.
