Have you noticed it yet? I’ll bet it snuck by you without your noticing. Unless, of course, you are a baker.
As we slide into Summer berry season has been under way for a few weeks but even that isn’t a reliable way to tell the seasons have changed. While late Spring and Summer are usually packed with berries and fruit, the one sure way to tell the seasons have changed is to look at the most searched for recipes. The ones that top the lists.
Right now lemon tops the charts, slightly edging out other citrus flavors (orange and grapefruit, for example). When Fall arrives we will be diving into apple and or pumpkin. The Winter Holidays will carry on the Fall favorites but we will start to see more chocolate.
Some citrus flavors carry over the year but most will sit on the sidelines until it is their time to shine.
And while we might like to believe chocolate is around all the time, truthfully I think we hit a limit at some point and step back to enjoy the fresh flavors of the season, whatever season that might be.
Wyse Guide recently posted his Poke Cake recipe. I have to admit that cake inspired me to add it to my To Be Baked list. And while I love strawberries, this cake could be awesome with pretty much any flavor choice. Or, with the right frosting, without any fruit at all.
I’m also contemplating a pineapple upside down cake. Fresh. Flavorful. Delicious. Not to mention easy to make, too.
What are you in the mood for?
