LEMON SNACKING CAKE WITH COCONUT GLAZE
With a poundcake-like texture and zippy lemon flavor, this tender treat is loaded with grated citrus zest and topped with a sweet, mellow coconut frosting. Like many snacking cakes, it's easily whisked together without a mixer, and quick to bake. Perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up, it goes as well with a glass of milk as it does with mugs of coffee, tea or hot cocoa.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edge of the pan by at least 2 inches.
- Grate 2 tablespoons of zest from the lemons. Juice the lemons so you have 1/4 cup/60 milliliters juice. Add juice and zest to a medium bowl, then whisk in oil, sour cream, coconut milk and eggs.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk wet mixture into dry mixture until smooth.
- Scrape batter into baking pan and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with shredded sweetened coconut. Bake until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely.
- When cake is cool, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, oil and salt. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Pour over the cake, and grate some lemon zest over the top. Let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

HONEYED LEMON-BERRY SNACK CAKE
Honey not only pairs beautifully with citrus and berries, but it also is hygroscopic, which means that it pulls moisture from the air. This property helps create the cake's moist, dense, almost-pound-cake-like texture and will continue to improve the texture in the days after baking.

Steps:
- For the cake: Position a rack to the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square, light-colored metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, and then line the pan with an 8-inch wide strip of parchment paper, leaving several inches of overhang on the opposite sides of the pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, honey, applesauce, oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour, and fold gently to blend. Add about one-third of the whipped egg whites to the batter, and stir to blend well. Add the remaining whipped whites, and fold gently just until no visible clumps of the egg white remain.
- Remove the berries from the freezer. Scrape half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly. Sprinkle half of the frozen berries over the batter. Pour and smooth the remaining batter, and then scatter with the remaining berries. Bake until the cake is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 55 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the pan set on a wire rack.
- For the glaze: Whisk together the honey and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Spoon the glaze over the warm cake, letting it absorb before adding more. Cool the cake completely, and then slice and serve.

LEMON SNACK CAKE WITH RASPBERRY-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
There's so much to love about snacking cakes, those single-layer confections meant to be sliced into any time of day. Here lemon juice and zest brighten the batter, and ground freeze-dried raspberries give classic cream-cheese frosting a natural rosy tint. Pile on whole berries, and help yourself.

Steps:
- For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Line bottom with parchment; brush with butter. Dust with flour, tapping out excess.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another, stir together milk and lemon juice. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with lemon zest, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk mixture, just until no dry flour remains (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until cake is golden and springs back when gently pressed, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool 20 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely.
- For the Frosting: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in confectioners' sugar and freeze-dried berries until smooth.
- Spread frosting over top of cake. Decorate with fresh berries. Cake is best served on the same day, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
