- Combine 2 cups flour, ¼ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 3 teaspoons baking powder in a large bowl.
- Add 4 tablespoons butter and cut into pieces. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix together until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Whisk 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk together in another medium bowl. Gradually add milk while whisking constantly. Pour liquid into dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.

14. Chocolate Chip Gooey Cookie
This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies, depending on how big you make them. They are very rich and delicious, and we think everyone will love them. If you like, you can add nuts to them.
We used pecans because they go well with chocolate, but you could use almonds or even walnuts. You don’t want to overdo it, though; just one handful per cookie is enough.
15. Mini Chocolate Style Bundt Cake
The recipe calls for a basic bundt cake mix, but for the topping, we used a simple chocolate ganache. But here’s what makes these mini bundts unique: the batter is baked into individual cups. This way, each cup becomes a miniature bundt cake.
In addition to being adorable, these mini bundts are also super easy to make. All you have to do is pour the batter into the prepared pan, bake it, cool it, and then fill it up with the chocolate ganache. Then just wait for the wedding bells to ring.

Fudge squares are notoriously difficult to master. They require precise measurements of ingredients, a steady hand, and patience. But once you do manage to perfect one batch, you’ll never want to use store-bought again.
This is the best chocolate fudge recipe I’ve ever tried. The secret ingredient is baking soda. You’ll find that it makes everything taste better and keeps things soft and chewy.
The key to making great fudge is to keep stirring. If you stop too soon, you’ll end up with something hard and grainy. And don’t worry about over mixing; the mixture needs to remain slightly lumpy.
23. Vanilla Cupcakes
Vanilla cupcakes are a classic dessert, but they often fall flat due to drying out quickly. These vanilla cupcakes are different, though; they’ll keep moist for days thanks to a special ingredient called “vanillin.”
Vanillin is found naturally in vanilla beans and vanilla extract, and it gives baked goods like cookies, cakes, bread, and muffins their unique flavor.
24. Easy Strawberry Trifle
This recipe makes a beautiful display for desserts, but it’s just as good served as dessert. The layers are easy to assemble; simply layer the ingredients in a large glass bowl.
