If you plan on hosting a dinner but you are not all that great at preparing desserts, not to worry. There are plenty of scrumptious desserts that you can make even if you have never baked before. Here are some excellent baking recipes suitable for beginners.

Delicious Fruit Crumble

Not only is this one of the best baking recipes for newbies, but it is also really versatile so you can use just about any type of fruit. All you need to do is mix up some frozen fruit pieces, add water, sugar and warm it all up. Place this mixture in a buttered dish. Rub together butter and flour with some sugar. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the fruit and bake until the fruit is tender and the top starts to brown.

Upside Down Cake

As far as baking recipes for cakes go, this one is the easiest. You do not need to make a massive mess in your kitchen and it won’t take long to bake either. Simply arrange sliced fruit in a baking dish and pour the cake mixture on top. Bake and, once it’s done, all you need to do is turn it out.

Profiteroles

These take a little bit more time to make but they are certainly worth it. Of course, you don’t have to make everything from scratch. For example, you can buy chocolate sauce and the filling too if you like. Your supermarket will also sell kits that you can follow. They include most of the ingredients you need and the instructions are very simple.

Hot cobblers

Another one of the best baking recipes if you are a beginner is the fruit cobbler. All you need to do is make the mixture, add your fruit and bake. Cobblers are best served hot and you can always top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you prefer.

These baking recipes are both for hot and chilled desserts. So, whether you would like to serve a light and refreshing dessert in the summer or a warm, comforting pudding in winter, these ideas are just what you need.
