Home Dessert Cake & Cupcakes

Cake & Cupcakes

If I’m being honest, cakes are my favorite thing to make. There’s something about the sense of accomplishment you get from following the steps just right and having this beautiful creation when you’re done! Plus it usually means you’re celebrating something great with your loved ones. I love that! This list has all my best cake recipes.

I recommend starting with the classics. If you’re feeling sweet, The Best Homemade White Cake Recipe of Your Life will not disappoint. On the devilish side, The Best Chocolate Cake I’ve Ever Had is the stuff of dreams. Or you can go with a standard yellow cake, though my Brown Sugar Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting is anything but basic.

Explore the list for some gems like this Cranberry Cake with Warm Vanilla Butter Sauce and The Best Authentic Tres Leches Cake Recipe. Oh! I can’t forget to say you’ve got to try Blackberry Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting. You’ll thank me later.
