When the name of a recipe tempts you to try it, a delicious result feels like a bonus. That was the case for me and clafouti, as I explain this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon. The pudding cake, with its uneven edges and layer of fruit that it arranges itself naturally as it rises to the top, isn’t as fancy as ganache-glazed cakes, precisely arranged tarts and neatly rounded scoops of sorbet that you might make for a special occasion (like, say, Twice as Tasty’s 9th anniversary). But boy, does clafouti taste good.

Claflouti (pronounced “claw-foo-tee”) reminds me of other sweet treats that are fun to say. Snickerdoodles have been a favorite since childhood. I’ve written about several others for Taste of Home, including Melomakarona and Apple Pandowdy.

Twice as Tasty

If you get more excited about desserts that taste amazing than ones that just look gorgeous, you’ll find plenty of recipes on this blog. Some of them do turn out beautifully enough to get a few hits on Instagram, like Chocolate Pudding Cake, but I always put more effort into how they taste.

In summer, I prefer rustic-looking desserts that feature the season’s freshest fruit. Here are a few of my personal favorites. You can find more in the recipe index.

• Strawberry Shortcake with Lilac Cream
• Rhubarb–Rosemary Sorbet
• Huckleberry–Rhubarb Galette
• Rhubarb–Apple Crisp
• Crumble-Top Deep-Dish Apple Pie

You can also learn more about savoring and saving the fruits of summer in this blog post.
