in my part of the world, spring is my second-favorite season and a necessary one after a chilly winter. i finally emerge from my cozy cocoon, ready to do some outdoor activities. i especially love walking through my local parks and birdwatching (particularly hummingbirds!).
i hope stopping by gives you a chance to reflect on your favorite parts of spring! if you have a favorite spring activity, what's yours?

my favorite spring dessert comes from sicily: cassata siciliana, which features chocolate chips, ricotta, and you cannot forget the candied fruit on top! this cake is a mainstay around easter, and sicilians claim it's over a thousand years old. traditional cassata is very sweet, but this recipe has tamed that a bit in favor of big flavor with less sugar and dark chocolate.
i really hope you try this recipe if you ever get a chance, and celebrate spring with this amazing sicilian cake!
