With that in mind, here are four delicious treat ideas that you can bake this February with your sweetheart. Then share the wealth with friends and family, if you so desire. We are certain they wont turn down a single bite!

(Gluten Free) Yellow Cake with Raspberry Chocolate Frosting

This is a fantastic recipe that features Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Muffin Mix as the base ingredient. Using the mix allows you to make a delicious yellow cake with almost no effort. Who doesnt like easy in the kitchen, right? It wont take long before you are smelling this labor of love as it cooks. Prep time takes only about 30 minutes, and cook time is an additional 25-30 minutes, which means youll have a cake ready to cool and decorate in about an hour. This recipe makes 12 servings of deliciousness (or more if you decide to be sly and cut slightly smaller slices . . . we wont tell). Top your yellow cake masterpiece with homemade raspberry and dark chocolate frosting that everyone will be raving about. Not a yellow cake fan? Not to fear, this recipe can easily be converted into a chocolate cake recipe instead, by adding two tablespoons of cocoa powder to the muffin mix blend. While we love a good chocolate cake, we think the yellow cake gives this recipe a nice balance of flavors. But to each their own!

Simple Pound Cake

If yellow cake isnt your favorite and youre not in the mood for a chocolate cake, why not try this fluffy pound cake instead? Pound cakes are so versatile; they can be spiced up with just about any flavor you can dream up. This simple recipe is great for your loved ones who may be sensitive to gluten, and it doesnt force you to sacrifice any flavor or texture. This is because it features a base of organic coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sea salt, and our gluten free all purpose baking flour. Really, its so good; you would never guess this pound cake isn't loaded with gluten! And if youre having fun, you can make it extra festive by baking it in a heart-shaped pan, then decorating it with whipped cream and fruit topping.

Lemon Tea Cake

Sometimes, you want something other than chocolate or vanilla flavors, and thats okay. Enter the lemon tea cake! This sweet treat makes a great addition to any menu and works well for a holiday brunch or a bridal party. This recipe yields 10 servings and only requires 15 minutes of prep time, although you may want to double it if youre making it for a crowd, or you just want to save a little extra for later. Add 35 minutes of cook time, and voila! A light, lemony-flavored cake everyone will love. This diet friendly dessert features gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour, plus brown rice flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sea salt, and more. Its a perfect treat for those with a sensitivity to gluten, who dont want to sacrifice their options when it comes indulging in something sweet.
