Desserts

You know that spring has arrived when rhubarb starts popping up at the market or in your garden patch. This easy dessert from recipe developer Haley Polinsky, with its heady vanilla and rosemary bite, is a show-stopping way to celebrate it.

Cake & Loaf Bakery in Hamilton, Ont.—now closed, sadly—offered a slew of treats stuffed with Cadbury Mini Eggs every Easter, including these colourful chocolate chunk cookies.

This recipe concentrates the spicy-sweet flavours of chai in a dense, moist and totally dippable tea cake.

With layers of lusciousness, from the easy cookie crust to scrumptious chocolate curls, this cheesecake spells nirvana for the devoted chocoholic.

The name's a bit misleading: These casual, not-too-sweet cakes aren't coffee-flavoured, they're meant to be enjoyed with coffee instead.
