These soft and warmly spiced sourdough carrot cake bars are made with sourdough discard and baked in a simple 9×13 pan for an easy dessert that’s perfect for spring.

The batter uses a blend of oil and butter for moisture and flavor, finely shredded carrots for classic texture, and a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.

The bars bake up tender, slice beautifully, and are simple enough for everyday baking while still feeling special enough for Easter or gatherings.

For more Easter recipes, try these Sourdough Hot Cross Buns, Easy Deviled Eggs, Roasted Carrots, and Easy Mashed Potatoes.

Unlike many carrot cakes, this version keeps the batter straightforward with no pineapple and no nuts required, though chopped pecans or walnuts can easily be added if you enjoy them.

I love them both ways, with nuts or without! For an extra festive touch, you can decorate a few bars with piped frosting carrots.

These sourdough lemon bars have a buttery shortbread crust and a bright, silky lemon curd that sets into clean, bakery-style squares.

The crust is enriched with sourdough discard, vanilla, and fresh lemon zest, giving it a tender crumb and subtle depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the vibrant citrus filling.

The lemon layer is cooked gently on the stovetop before baking to ensure a smooth, glossy curd that slices neatly once chilled. The result is a delicious sourdough dessert with bold lemon flavor and a buttery shortbread base.

Lemon desserts are a favorite of mine, especially in the spring and summer months. These sourdough discard lemon bars will be a favorite for lemon lovers!

I think these bars would be so perfect for an Easter dessert, a Mother’s Day brunch, or tea party.
