These bakery-style soft and chewy peanut butter cookies filled with puddles of melted, gooey marshmallow fluff have childhood nostalgia in every bite 🤤
➡️ Here’s why you’ll love these cookies:
• start with my best peanut butter cookie base
• soft and chewy cookie
• a puddle of gooey marshmallow through the whole cookie
• messy in the best way
• if you eat one warm from the oven (or warmed after cooling), they’re even better

You get the beeeeeeest of both worlds 🖤🎶🤍 These marble cupcakes aren’t just vanilla and chocolate swirled together...they’re a flavor all their own! A longtime favorite in my home, these swirly cupcakes are made from one single batter yet deliver the perfect balance of both flavors in one bite. We didn`t even chat about the buttercream! 🧁

This may be my new favorite twist on a classic 🥰
And here’s the thing every cinnamon roll girlie needs to know— not every batch of cinnamon rolls needs to yield 12.
In fact, just about ALL of the cinnamon roll recipes on my site are small batch, which yields just 6. And doubling it If needed? Super simple math, and I have information in each post about what that looks like ☺️
Seriously, once you taste that chai-spiced cream cheese frosting, you’ll never go back to plain cinnamon again 🫖

If a basket of endless breadsticks from Olive Garden was part of your childhood (or maybe adulthood? Do people still go there??), then you know you’re in for something good today 😏
This month’s installment of my monthly Bread of The Month series is these ultra soft, mega flavorful, buttery, garlicky breadsticks. They’re shockingly easy to make, and once you make your first batch, you’ll be breaking out this recipe again and again #fafbreadofthemonth
I break down everything you need to know in photos, written steps, and a video so you know exactly what you’re doing. But I promise, these are much simpler than they appear to be upon first glance 👀
And they won’t last long so you might get some extra practice sooner than you expect to 😉

So you want banana bread today but your bananas are nowhere near “ideal” for banana bread? 🤨
SAME. Thats why I almost exclusively ROAST my bananas anymore 🍌
Yes, those very yellow or even greenish bananas sitting on your counter can still deliver all the banana bread goodness you crave, no waiting required 😮
Which is why I use this tried-and-true method for transforming underripe bananas into roasted bananas all the time. It creates the perfect base for baking AND delivers the same incredible results as using naturally mushy bananas every time 🙌🏼
You’ll need 3 medium size UNRIPE bananas and 3 Tablespoons of light or dark brown sugar.
👇🏼 Here’s what to do:
🍌 Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (or leave unlined, if you don’t mind cleaning).
🍌 Situate each banana so that the curved part is on a surface or cutting board and the ends are facing up. Slice each banana in half long ways, then lay the sliced bananas on the pan, exposed banana side up.
🍌 Sprinkle the bananas with the brown sugar and then turn each of them over so that the skins now face up and the exposed banana is on the prepared pan.
🍌 Roast the bananas for 10 minutes or until the skins are completely black and leaking juices from the sides.
🍌 Remove the bananas from the oven, carefully remove the skins, and place the roasted bananas and all of the juices and caramelized sugar into a small bowl.
🍌 Mash the bananas in the bowl using a fork and set them aside to cool while you make the rest of the banana bread.

Because this method is the ultimate “I don’t know what I’m doing” shortcut to make your cake look like you might actually know what you’re doing! 🤩
I am a former cake baker/decorator who, in all honesty, doesn’t love “traditional” cake decorating (like ribbon or shell borders) 😩
I typically keep my cake decorating simple and bring the “flair” with this simple technique and something like sprinkles, chopped candy, or even sometimes crumbled cake scraps.
Here’s how you do my favorite simple technique:
➡️ frost your cake completely, and don’t worry about it looking nice. In fact, the messier and more frosting available, the better!
➡️ hold your spatula perpendicular to the side of your cake at the top of the edge and, with gentle pressure, press it into the side of the cake while you turn the turntable and slowly lower your hand so the spatula creates a “trail” from the top to the bottom the whole way around the cake.
➡️ next, place your spatula flat to the top of the cake, again on the edge of it. With gentle pressure, press it into the top of the cake while you turn the turntable and slowly move your hand toward the center of the cake to make another “trail” on the top.
Like this method? Give me a follow at @freshaprilflours for all your cake-baking needs including my tried-and-true recipes that were requested over and over and that you can bake in your own kitchen 🎂

Crunchy, chocolately, coconut-y 🍪🥥 These Coconut Almond Cookies are also delish to the 10th degree not dipped in chocolate and dusted with toasted coconut and almonds, but if you’re feeling jazzy, I highly suggest the latter.

Listen, I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. Toll House set us up with a solid foundation. Truly! 🥲
But the Fresh April Flours version that I’ve perfected over the last decade+ has gotten reviews like these ones that just came in over the last month:
🍪 “No joke… these are the BEST. I have faithfully stuck to a different variation of the tollhouse recipe up until now, but I will only be using this recipe going forward. Followed all of the steps to a tee and these are genuinely the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in my life!!”
🍪 “Hands down. These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies!!! Absolutely delicious every time.”
🍪 “I’ve baked a lot of chocolate chip cookies and love trying new recipes. Made these last night and they are the best chocolate chip cookie I think I’ve made.”
🍪 “The BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve found. I’ve been looking for years for a recipe that turns out like these – they are SO good. The recipe is easy and consistent, they turn out delicious every single time.”
What’s different, you ask? Melted butter instead of softened, one less egg white, more brown sugar, a little cornstarch, and my signature combo of milk + semi-sweet chocolate chips make for a cookie that will win you over in a heartbeat, I guarantee it! 🙌

Once you reverse cream once, you might never go back…
Ok, but real talk, reverse creaming is NOT something you should just do willy nilly. It’s not appropriate for every cake batter, but if you struggle with layer cakes, I encourage you to start here.
⭐️ Reverse creaming is the method you didn’t know you needed:
➡️ Instead of the usual butter-sugar creaming routine, reverse creaming has you mix your dry ingredients (yes, even the sugar!) with softened butter first, then bring in the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, extract) later. The result? A cake that’s tender, velvety, and— MY FAV— nice and level.
⭐️ But… Why bother?
1️⃣ A tender cake: the butter coats the flour before liquids come into play, which means less gluten development (read: softer cake).
2️⃣ Flatter layers: say goodbye to cake domes that need to be leveled! Reverse creaming keeps things nice and even, which means your layers are already perfect for stacking and frosting.
3️⃣ Moist and velvety texture: since fat is evenly distributed, you end up with a cake that’s soft and rich without being dry.
⭐️ When you’ll see it used most often:
➡️ This method shines in cakes where texture really matters. Think layer cakes, pound cakes, and cupcakes that need a delicate, even crumb. If you’re after bakery-level softness without bakery-level effort, reverse creaming is your new best friend.
This is the method I use in my basic white cake (what you see here) which is the cake base I use for more than a dozen cake recipes on my site. It’s reliable, delicious, and I’m never NOT using it to create new cake recipes for you 🫶
In fact, here’s a 5-star review from reader Katja:
“Love this white cake recipe. I’ve made some before with mediocre results and this one was just so wonderfully moist and yummy. The reverse creaming method was so simple and made quick work of making the batter! It was ideal for coloring cake layers with gel food coloring and I’ll definitely use this recipe again.”
