Baking: The perfect cakes for late summer

We all have a summer bucket list, don’t we? Restaurants, cafés, and activities we’re determined to try while time and the weather are still on our side. So why not add a few scrumptious cakes to that list? Preferably ones that capture the essence of summer—or even late summer. Cakes that, from the very first bite, take you back to picnics or balmy afternoons outdoors. The kind you long for once apple, cinnamon, and cocoa take over later in the year—and make even dreary summer days feel brighter.
