Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

Billot Log Cake is inspired by the famous Vachon snack cake & is perfect for Canada Day. It’s a sponge cake roll with buttercream raspberries & coconut.

Cherry Vanilla Coffee Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze. A most vanilla scratch cake baked on top of sweet dark cherries then glazed with cream cheese frosting. Delicious at a celebration brunch but good enough to serve as a decadent dessert too, especially while still warm.

Jos Louis Cake a.k.a. Copycat Ding Dong Cake. Based upon the famous Canadian snack cake, this recipe has proven to be one of the most popular dessert cakes ever on Rock Recipes.

Lemon Turnovers in Sour Cream Pastry. Tart homemade lemon curd in a light flakey, shortcut pastry recipe.

Homemade Flakies with raspberry compote & vanilla cream. A nostalgic tribute to the Vachon Flakie, one of my very favourite snack cake treats as a kid.

Newfoundland Cherry Cake. A big local favourite especially during the Holidays. The secret in this recipe is undiluted evaporated milk for added richness.

White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries. This recipe has the key to perfectly baking a gorgeous, lusciously creamy white chocolate cheesecake every time.

Using a classic sponge cake with white chocolate whipped cream, this strawberry shortcake is a simple, easy, elegant dessert that appeals to practically everyone.

Best Loaf Cakes. Sometimes a smaller cake serves your needs better than a full sized dessert. These are great for weekday dessert, snacks, packed lunches or gift giving at any time of year.

Easy Orange Creamsicle Cake. A sponge cake soaked in tart, sweet orange syrup and then covered in a creamy mascarpone based frosting. So luscious!
