Fresh Banana Cake
Use very ripe bananas, the blacker the better. You can bake the layers ahead and freeze them, then frost, and serve. For garnish, sprinkle with cinnamon or finely chopped toasted pecans. Buy the Cake Mix Doctor’s Old-Fashioned Yellow Mix here.

Southern Caramel Cake with Peach Conserve
If you use a 15- to 16-ounce yellow cake mix, add 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the mix. This recipe is perfect for my cake mix, The Cake Mix Doctor’s Old-Fashioned Yellow cake mix, which is 21.6 ounces. Why add instant pudding mix? It helps suspend the nuts and preserves in the cake layer. You [...]

Fresh Cranberry Tart
What makes this tart so dead-easy to prepare is that there is no crust. You scatter the fruit – cranberries or 1 cup chopped apple and 1 cup cranberries – in the bottom of a pie plate and pour an almond-scented batter over it. The tart bakes up into half-cake, half-pie wonderfulness. For easiest slicing, [...]

Gluten-Free Baked Apricots
Love this casserole with roasted turkey or ham. It will appeal to everyone – gluten-free or not. Look for the best-quality gluten-free crackers you can find. Glutino round buttery crackers work well. You can make the apricot casserole up to 5 hours ahead; leave it on the countertop before baking, but do not refrigerate it.

Julia Child’s Quiche aux Oignons (Onion Quiche)
Julia Child’s recipes do have a lot of steps, but what I love about them is that I learn something from following them. In this onion quiche, the addition of a little flour to the cooked onions provides the right thickening to the quiche. For best results, make your pie crust from scratch, if possible. [...]
