Who doesn’t love that feeling of stepping outside on the first warm day of the season and realizing that you need to remove a layer, as the springtime sunshine warms you all the way down to your soul? If we could encapsulate that feeling in a dessert, it would have to be kissed by lemon, the very color and flavor of a ray of light. We’ve got lots of spring-y dessert ideas, whether you’re looking for something casual, like crisp, tart cookies for a brunch buffet, or something more over-the-top, like a bright and fresh cake lightened further with clouds of whipped cream. Ready to start baking? Try this deliciuos olive oil cake. Candying the lemons removes all the bitterness from the fruit. Afterwards, you’re left with a sweet, tart topping for this tasty spring dessert. The recipe calls for Meyer lemons, which are sweeter than your usual garden variety lemon, which results in a gentler citrus flavor.
