Mother’s Day dessert ideas (what I’m serving this year)

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Here's what we're having for Mother's Day

My husband has a tradition of ordering dinner in for our family Mother's Day celebration after church. It's a nice break for all the mothers that doesn't require us to stand over a stove or in line at a restaurant.

Angel Food Cake with Chocolate Ganache (and Chocolate Swirl)

This angel food cake with chocolate ganache features a surprise chocolate swirl inside and a soft whipped-cream topping. A light, dramatic cake that works beautifully for birthdays and special celebrations like Mother's Day.

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX My creativity in the kitchen has gone into hiding during the high temperatures of the past few weeks. I’m hoping it comes back soon.
