Our Easiest Dessert Ideas

You don't have to be a professional baker to whip up an impressive dessert. We’ve got plenty of no-fuss ideas for cookies, crowd-pleasing cakes, fruit-filled pies, comforting chocolate treats—and even a few no-bake desserts! A handful of them even lean towards over-the-top, despite what a cinch they are to make. Just take this strawberry poke cake, for example. It looks ordinary enough until you cut into it to reveal the gorgeous swirls of berry red. Your guests will wonder how you achieved such a stunning presentation—and never guess it was incredibly simple!

Buckeye Bundt Cake

The classic flavors of buckeye candy — chocolate and peanut butter — are the winning combination in this bundt cake that’s ideal for serving a crowd. A creamy peanut butter cheesecake mixture is sandwiched inside rich chocolate cake, and a final topping of melted semisweet chocolate makes it irresistible. You can even bake and glaze it a day or two ahead and store it in the fridge.
