Chewy Bars, Cakes & Everyday Desserts

Hundreds of recipes by Marcus Jordan – cookie bars, cakes, brownies and crumb desserts.

Profile:

Marcus Jordan's profile is almost entirely desserts: chocolate brownies cut into a full pan of squares, strawberry crumb bars with rolled oats, moist vanilla and chocolate cakes, and lemon cream desserts served by the spoonful. Bars and sheet-pan sweets are his specialty, so many of his recipes are written to serve a group rather than a couple of people.

What sets his recipes apart is a focus on texture: how chewy, fudgy, tender or crumbly a dessert should turn out, and which choices get you there. Expect clear steps, realistic bake times and temperatures, and ingredient substitutions where they make sense, so a recipe still works when the pantry is missing something. Fall and strawberry-season ideas sit alongside year-round favorites, and he occasionally steps outside baking into a dinner recipe.

Browse the latest recipes below to find a pan of bars for a bake sale, a cake for a birthday or a simple sweet for a weeknight.
