It’s Easter! Easter’s one of my favorite holidays simply because there’s so much to look forward to: pastel colors, flowers in bloom, Easter basket hunts, and (in non-covid times) family gatherings. I love how cheery and refreshing it feels after a long winter! However, if for some reason that’s not your thing, you’re actually in luck, because today’s recipe is a cause for celebration all on its own. These Robin’s Egg Cupcakes are elegant, delicately flavored, and incredibly moist and fluffy. I swear you’ve never had vanilla cupcakes this good. Springy, in both texture and season!

Blood Orange Loaf Cake
Easter is just a few days away! I know that chocolate bunnies and sugary jellybeans are usually the treats of choice for this holiday, but let’s not forget that Easter lines right up with citrus season. That’s right: as the tulips bloom and the air gets sweeter, so do the oranges. It’s the perfect window for baking, so I couldn’t help but bring you an even-more-perfect recipe to celebrate with! We’re kicking off the equinox with a zingy, delightful dessert that tastes like springtime on a plate: Blood Orange Loaf Cake.
