You can whip up this magic cake in less than an hour: Layer a lemony filling and sweetened meringue atop a simple graham-cracker crust, then bake until golden brown.

The beauty of Trisha’s big-batch cobbler is that you can enjoy it year-round, as it’s made with sweet canned peaches.
Key Lime Cake
A package of lime gelatin gives this simple sheet cake a vibrant green color and bold lime flavor.
