Easy lemon dessert recipes perfect for entertaining this Spring and Summer.
Lemon desserts signal warmer weather to me—Spring has arrived and Summer is on the way. A lemon bar, cake, scone or cheesecake is all it takes to make me happy. Recently I baked a lemon blueberry bundt cake that impressed my whole family; the lemon-and-blueberry pairing is one of my favorites.
During a recent trip to Palm Springs I tried a Meyer lemon cake at Jake’s that I can’t stop thinking about. It was a light, tender cake topped with a silky buttercream—simple and unforgettable.
