Nancy Meeks, Editorial DirectorMimicking the crisp, flaky texture of croissants, these Croissant French Bread loaves are everything you love about puff pastry without the intensive time and labor. The layers of buttery goodness rise throughout the length of the baguettes, creating a golden-brown crust meant for tearing and sharing.

Kile Pointer, Graphic Designer\u00a0Made up of a layer of chewy, lightly crisp dough, a melty blend of cheeses, saut\u00e9ed vegetables, sausage, pepperoni, and homemade Pizza Sauce, this is a pizza that eats like a multicourse dinner. Although locals of the Windy City may argue whether this pizza is a knife-and-fork ordeal or a handheld meal, we say that as long as you enjoy every bite, you\u2019re doing it right.

Meg Lundberg, Senior Copy Editor, FoodWe\u2019re big fans of an ambitious holiday crossover, and these Gingerbread Cookie Cheesecake Bars are just that. An indulgent layer of cheesecake filling is sandwiched between chewy, delicately spiced gingerbread dough. It\u2019s a simple formula, but when that molasses-rich gingerbread meets that vanilla-scented cheesecake, you\u2019ll get flavor fireworks. It packs all of the richness you could want\u2014but in a neat gluten-free package.\u00a0Our Most Popular Recipes per Year

Much like pound cake, the 1-2-3-4 cake gets its name from the proportions of its base ingredients: one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, four eggs. It\u2019s so straightforward, you may not even have to write it down\u2014making it easy to impress friends and family with, oh, just a little something you whipped up.

Almond-scented\u00a0cake\u00a0batter is swirled with traditional\u00a0frangipane, which adds nutty flavor and tenderness to the crumb of this cake. Studded with\u00a0berries\u00a0and gently dusted with confectioners\u2019 sugar, this Berry Frangipane Cake is simple but gorgeous. As a bonus, this recipe calls for frozen\u00a0berries, meaning this recipe is always in season for baking.

A staple in most Mediterranean kitchens, this light, and barely sweet Classic Olive Oil Cake is perfect for an afternoon snack or late-morning tea. A final brush of olive oil just before serving brings the fruity flavor to the front of your palate as soon as you take a bite.

We took the classic French one-layer cake (our editor-in-chief\u2019s favorite!) from round to rectangle in this G\u00e2teau Basque Loaf. A tender, golden crust encases a surprise center of thick, velvety Custard Filling, a defining factor of the original g\u00e2teau Basque, with a thin layer of fresh blueberries to bring brightness to every slice.

These cakes bring the ever-popular combination of strawberries and cream to each decadent slice. With homemade strawberry sauce swirled into each loaf, they\u2019re just as beautiful as they are delicious.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
