A Summer of Easy Baking
9 fuss-free recipes for a season of breezy bakes
In the summer, every moment counts. There are only so many days to laze by the pool, and only so many weeks to bake with local fruit at its peak. So we’re introducing Bake It Easy: Summer, nine pantry-friendly recipes that are low-fuss, fast, and let you take advantage of every last berry, peach, and plum. Bake them on repeat and you’ll have cakes, cobblers, and plenty of beach days all summer long.
