Sweet! Gooey! Easy! Yum! Those are just a few of the lovely things we're hearing about these coconutty blonde beauties. Taste for yourself.

This spice cake is soaked with rum syrup, making a lovely, albeit slightly boozy, gift when wrapped in parchment and tied with a bow.

Great pan gravy doesn't just happen by chance. Here's how it does happen. And with no fuss. No mess. No lumps. Just easy, foolproof, soul-satisfying gravy.

Happen to have a bottle of Kahlua collecting dust in the back of your liquor cabinet? Mix up one of these. (And, if you're bored, you could recreate scenes from The Big Lebowski...)

Doesn't get much simpler than this make-ahead cranberry sauce. Simply simmer cranberries, sugar, and orange until you hear a "Pop!" Then slide it in the fridge. Your work is done.

An easy, foolproof, ever so slightly sweet corn bread that comes together as quickly as it disappears. Just watch it.

Equal parts bohemian and tradition, this stone fruit slump marries the best aspects of cobbler and cake to sweet, sweet effect.

Not just the stuff of sweet memories, angel food cake is still in fashion—and still fashionably simple to whip up. Truly heaven sent.

This nifty little number has all the uber richness of cheesecake and all the luxe creaminess of ice cream but with barely any effort. No ice cream maker required.

This anything-but-boring bird borrows its Peruvian accent from a technicolor dream coat of paprika, lemon, garlic, and cumin.

Inspired by a stuffed baked potato, this stovetop mac and cheese is loaded with bacon, Cheddar, and sour cream. Indulgence, baby.

A superlative version of the classic American quick bread that everyone loves. And that everyone pretty much always has the ingredients for on hand.
