This is the carrot cake of dreams folks! There is nothing better than a homemade cake, but this cake is taken to the next level when it soaks in a buttermilk glaze. It’s perfect for Easter!

I was inspired to make this cake when my friends and I had the most wonderful slice of carrot cake at a restaurant in New Orleans. From that first bite, I was on a mission to figure that recipe out. Well, I may not have that exact recipe, but I’d say this cake ranks up there with one of the Best Ever Carrot Cake recipes!

It’s a very simple recipe and I used freshly grated carrots. It’s an extremely moist cake due to the vegetable oil and shredded carrots. And it’s topped with a not too sweet cream cheese icing.

I’m obsessed with skillet cakes lately, and this Easy Lemon Coconut Skillet Cake is perfect for those lemon lovers! It packs a lemony flavor punch for sure! From the lemon zest and lemon juice to the sweet lemony glaze soaked into the cake, those lemon lovers will not be disappointed!

There’s just something about a skillet dessert that I love! It’s perfect when you want a little something sweet but don’t want to make a whole big cake. I’ve made my share of skillet recipes like this Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake, this S’mores Cookie Pie, and this Peach Pecan Skillet Cake. I’d love for you to try them all!

What do you need to make this Easy Lemon Coconut Skillet Cake?

• all purpose flour
• granulated sugar
• baking powder
• baking soa
• kosher salt
• vanilla greek yogurt
• egg
• melted butter
• milk
• lemon zest
• lemon juice
• coconut

Helpful Recipe Tips:

• I recommend having 3 lemons on hand.  I can make this recipe including the glaze with only 2 lemons, but I would have 1 extra just in case one lemon isn’t very juicy!
• I like to use a 10 inch cast iron skillet for this recipe. If you don’t have one, you can make this in a smaller casserole dish, but baking time will need to be adjusted. But a cast iron skillet comes in handy in so many recipes!!! It’s one of my favorite tools in my kitchen!

Who doesn’t love a good ice cream sandwich? And whoever decided to make the first cake with these is a genius! This Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is seriously so easy to make! It’s perfect for kids and adults, and it really makes a beautiful dessert without much effort!

There are really so many versions you can make with ice cream sandwiches too! I am a huge fan of Lindt truffles, so I love putting them in desserts like this. Be sure to check out this Ice Cream Cake as well! If you’re feeding a crowd, you can make this in a 13 x 9 pan as well.

You only need a few ingredients to make this Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich Cake:

• ice cream sandwiches
• salted caramel
• hot fudge
• whipped topping
• caramel Lindt truffles
• SEE FULL RECIPE BELOW.
• Plus check out all the other ice cream recipes I listed below too!!

A few notes about this recipe:

• This recipe uses shortcuts like jarred salted caramel and jarred hot fudge.
• If you can’t find salted caramel, regular caramel sauce can work too.
• I like to heat the hot fudge a little bit in a separate bowl to make it easier to drizzle.
• Chopped toasted pecans would be wonderful on this and give it kind of a “Turtle Cheesecake” vibe.
• I used a large star tip and a regular gallon sized storage bag to pipe my whipped topping. I would not use the can whipped cream stuff for this recipe.
• If you can’t find Lindt Caramel Truffles, you can use another chocolate caramel candy.
• Watch me make this on Instagram!

I have happily made and tested this Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake recipe a few times lately to get it just right!  I’m so happy with how it came out, and I can see myself making it all the time because it’s so easy all in one bowl and one skillet!   

Lemon zest and lemon juice give it that light citrus flavor.  And I make it with melted butter and Greek yogurt which makes it wonderfully tender and moist.  It’s not a huge recipe so it’s perfect when you’re craving a little something sweet. 

And I promise, even those non blueberry fans in my house, liked it too!!  I make it in my 10 inch cast iron skillet which is one of my favorite kitchen items I have.  While its baking, I make an easy lemon glaze with just some powdered sugar and lemon juice.  Then I pour it all over the warm cake and try to restrain myself while it cools a little!

What ingredients are needed to make this Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake?

• All purpose flour
• granulated sugar
• baking soda
• baking powder 
• salt
• zest of 2 lemons
• fresh lemon juice
• melted butter
• 1 egg
• vanilla greek yogurt
• milk
• blueberries
• For the Glaze:  powdered sugar and more fresh lemon juice

About how many lemons do I need to use for the fresh lemon juice?

• I recommend having 3 lemons on hand.  I can make this recipe including the glaze with only 2 lemons, but I would have 1 extra just in case one lemon isn’t very juicy!

Do I need a cast-iron skillet to make this recipe?

• I could go on and on about my love for my cast iron skillet.  I love making desserts like this one and this one.  I even love making pizza and skillet nachos in it too.  Buuuut, if you don’t have one, you can make this recipe in a round cake pan or a 9 x 9 glass baking dish.  Baking time may need to be adjusted slightly, so you would need to make sure you set timers and watch it!

Oh this Easter Bunny Bait did not disappoint folks, and it’s so EASY to make too!  That’s a little dangerous.  We may be making this a little more than once this season.  It’s perfect for sharing with friends, family, and coworkers.  They will be happy you did!

And really the possibilities for this kind of snack mix are endless.  I really love the Rice Chex and the Golden Grahams, but you can use other cereals too.  This recipe doesn’t call for nuts, but that would be great too.  I would you a roasted and salted nut for that extra sweet and salty combo.

What do you need to make Easter Bunny Bait?

• Rice Chex cereal
• Golden Grahams cereal
• pretzels
• Easter sprinkles
• Easter M&M’s (I used the Egg-shaped chocolate ones).
• Spring marshmallows
• vanilla candy coating

Ways to Change this Easter Bunny Bait:

• You can add 1 cup of salted almonds. Decrease each cereal by 1/2 cup if you add almonds.

• Omit marshmallows if you aren’t a fan of these.

• You can use different flavors of M&M’s too.
