Meyer Lemon Upside-Down Cake

A polenta cake was the model for this dense, moist dessert. As the sliced lemons bake under the cake and absorb butter and brown sugar, they take on a marmalade-like quality.

Gluten-Free Buttermilk-Pecan-Walnut Cake

This downhome dessert gets points for being gluten-free but we also love that it is baked (and served) in a cast iron skillet. It actually tastes better as it sits and can be made up to 4 days ahead.

Acadian Syrup Cake with Roasted Pears and Caramel Sauce

A cajun classic, this spice cake gets much of its sweet flavor from a Southern staple, cane syrup. To dress up the cake for serving, we used a fleur-de-lis stencil to create a powdered sugar design atop this glorious dark and deeply delicious cake.

Walnut Cupcakes with Maple Frosting

Unlike their full-fat cousins, which get their softness from oil and butter, light cakes rely less on fat and more on sugar and liquids. These cupcakes bake perfectly light brown around the edges, with a super moist result.

Tres Leches Cake

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Mary Catherine Muir
Tres leches ("three milks"), a cake drenched in sweet, milky syrup and topped with meringue, has nearly overtaken flan as a favorite dessert in Latino restaurants. We lightened the traditional recipe by about 245 calories a serving by using lower-fat versions of the milks that give the cake its name.
