The dark brown sugar is what gives this cake its characteristically deep, molasses flavor.

It uses ladyfinger cookies, which you might be familiar with fromtiramisu, to create a stunning presentation.

If you bake nothing else with stone fruit this year, make it this peach pound cake.

The recipe has only 5-star reviews, which we think speaks to just how good it is.

This recipe infuses the cake batter with pumpkin for an autumnal take on a traditional jelly roll cake.

Whip up this masterpiece as a capstone project on a year of impressive bakes.
