There’s something truly comforting about a slice of pure-vanilla cake: buttery, light, and gently smiling back at you. No matter if it’s some holiday baking, a cozy winter coffee break, or a gift you make yourself for friends, this cake hits that sweet spot.

Prepping the right way makes all the difference between dry slices and that tender, juicy turkey everyone comes back for.

Southern fried apples simmered in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon—sweet, quick, and perfect for breakfast with biscuits or pancakes.
