There’s something magical about a cake that feels as appropriate for brunch as it does for a dinner party. One that can sit on your counter and whisper to you as you pass by, “Just a sliver. You deserve it.” That’s exactly the energy of this gluten-free citrus olive oil cake—a tender, golden loaf that feels sun-kissed and Mediterranean, like it was baked somewhere on the Amalfi Coast by someone’s Italian grandmother who knows a thing or two about zest.

But don’t be fooled by the fancy flavor profile; this cake isn’t fussy. It’s friendly. It’s forgiving. And despite being gluten-free, it sacrifices nothing—not texture, not structure, not soul. So, let’s talk about what makes this cake so special, and why you’ll probably want to make it again and again.

There’s something undeniably charming about whoopie pies. Maybe it’s their playful sandwich-like form, or maybe it’s the soft, cake-like texture that evokes a little nostalgia with every bite. But let’s take that classic delight and add a twist — say hello to Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Whoopie Pies: a dessert that walks the perfect line between whimsy and elegance, indulgence and comfort. Vanilla-scented whoopie shells cradle a swirl of marshmallowy buttercream and a jammy strawberry center that tastes like sunshine and strawberry fields. If that’s not summer in dessert form, I don’t know what is. 🍓🍓

Lemon bars are a classic dessert. They are so light and just melt in your mouth; So delicious that you'll have a hard time just eating one tiny square. They are sweet with just a tiny zing from the fresh lemon juice. That leads me to saying that I highly suggest you use fresh lemon juice for this recipe because it makes a world of a difference. Juicing and zesting only takes a few seconds to do and adds loads of lemony-flavored goodness! So, next time you're at the store pick up a few lemons and bake up a batch of these amazing lemon bars. 🍋
