Summer Bake List

What to bake this summer

To everyone new here, welcome. I’m Rebecca and this is the Let’s Get Lost newsletter. Many of you know me from my recipe websites, Of Batter and Dough and A Little and A Lot. This newsletter comes out every Saturday morning and includes stories and photos from our life on the road plus a weekly menu of new recipes inspired by the places we visit and the people we meet.

Steve and I spent the week in ASA classes, passed our 101, 103, and 104 certification, and I think it’s safe to say we are hooked.

That key chain is empty for now. But I don’t think it will be for long.

Me at the helm for the first time, with our instructor, Peter, close by.

If you’re new here, this newsletter usually includes a menu with at least three new recipes. This week, I’m giving you my summer bake list instead. If you’re a baker or have a sweet tooth, I don’t think you’ll mind one bit.

On the menu for next week: Fillet mignon with cherry sauce, roasted corn, and lemon elderflower cake with lemon buttercream + More from sailing school

The Summer Bake List

Summer is honestly my favorite time to bake because of the abundance of fresh, seasonal summer fruit.

Ok. That’s such a complete and total lie because every time of year is my favorite time to bake. But, it’s summer now so we are giving it preference and rightfully so.

1. Cherry Cake with Cherry Frosting: This simple one-layer cake is flavored with cherry juice, filled with chopped Luxardo cherries and covered in the creamiest cherry frosting.

2. Peach Coffee Cake with Crumb Topping: This buttery coffee cake is studded with sweet, juicy peaches and covered in a nutty, toasted coconut crumb topping that you will, from this point forward, want to start putting on everything. Maybe that's just me. But I doubt it.

3. Raspberry Muffins: These are buttery little breakfast pastries that are absolutely packed with berries. The texture is exceptionally soft and tender, a perfect match for delicate, sweet raspberries. And the butter crumb topping literally melts in your mouth.

4. Raspberry Pie: This pie is bursting with the natural sweet-tart flavor of juicy raspberries tucked into a buttery, flaky simple homemade lattice crust. The filling can be made with fresh or frozen raspberries and is the perfect consistency for neat, easy slices.

5. Chocolate Blackberry Muffins: These chocolate blackberry muffins are such a treat! They are packed with juicy blackberries and chocolate chips, and are so rich and fudgy they are almost brownie-like.

6. Blueberry Crumb Cake: Blueberry sauce is swirled into tender butter cake and topped with a generous layer of New York-style crumbs for a blueberry crumb cake that's perfectly at home at the breakfast table, next to your afternoon mug of coffee or tea, or sliced up and served for dessert after dinner.

7. Easy Berry Sauce: It doesn't get any easier than this 10-minute berry sauce. Use whatever kind or combination of berries you like, fresh or frozen, to make this delicious dessert sauce that's bursting with the flavor of ripe, juicy berries. Spoon it over anything you like, but I particularly like it over Chocolate Ricotta Cake.

8. Sweet Cherry Crumb Pie: This delicious cherry pie with a buttery crumb topping uses those plump, juicy, sweet cherries that are available in grocery stores and farmer's markets all summer long. Baked in a flaky pie crust and topped with brown sugar crumbs that are tender and crunchy all at the same time, this is the must-bake of the season at our house.

9. Blueberry Pie Cookies: These soft blueberry and oatmeal cookies are chewy, crunchy, blueberry-filled bites of bliss. Think chewy oatmeal cookie meets blueberry crumb pie, with a granola crunch for good measure. Sound good? Join me next week for a LIVE class and I’ll show you how to make them: How To Make Blueberry Pie Cookies

How often do we shrink ourselves into definitions that don’t really fit, just to be seen as successful, likable, or relatable? It’s definitely worth the read.
