Kentucky Butter Cake

There’s a restaurant near us that makes a butter cake that is delicious, so when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. This recipe is a little different since you mix all of the dry ingredients together first then add the softened butter and half the buttermilk mixture. Mix that together…

Iced Coffee Icebox Cake

I’ve only had a few complete fails over the years and this was definitely one of them. This looked like a fun recipe and besides taking a full 24 hours to set up, it also looked pretty easy. You start off by making the cookies and that’s pretty simple. Mix together all of your dry…

Funfetti Bundt Cake Birthday Cake

Sprinkles make just about anything fun! If you’re looking for a festive cake then look so further, plus it’s super easy so win-win. Be sure to set the ingredients that are marked as room temperature out before you start. You’ll mix together all the dry ingredients first, then cream the butter and cream cheese in…

Dacquoise (Hazelnut-Mocha)

Ok, let me start by saying that I’m cheating a bit because this recipe had Hazelnut-Mocha first, but I really wanted to try it. Also, I tried to find a link to this recipe online but had no luck. It also looks like the issue is out of stock since it is an older issue…

Chocolate Turtle Cake

I’m a big fan of chocolate turtles (Where. Are. The. Turtles???) so this recipe obviously appealed to me. It’s a little time consuming just because there are a few parts, but nothing too difficult. You’re going to start off by making the chocolate layer cakes. This is a very standard cake recipe so easy to…

Apple Fritter Cake

I had so much fun doing my Baking Through the Alphabet series back in 2022 that I decided to do it again! I love an apple fritter so I thought this Apple Fritter Cake was a great way to kick things off! Honestly, I think the peeling and dicing of apples took the longest amount…

Eggnog Cream Puff Cake

I’m not sure where I ran across this recipe but it looked fun. If you’ve got some leftover eggnog at your house post-Christmas then you can use it up here! The crust is a pate a choux pastry and is pretty easy to make. You don’t want to cook it too long on the stovetop,…

Copycat Christmas Tree Cake

I saw recipes for copycat Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes last year and really wanted to make them but just didn’t have time. This year I added it to my schedule and set off to make them for a little Christmas party we were having. I chose this recipe because most of the others called…

Toasted Pecan Cake

I’m not sure how I ran across this recipe, but I love pecans and it looked simple and easy so I thought I’d give it a try. If you’re making your own pecan flour (i.e. toasting the pecans and then grinding) this recipe is going to take a little longer. I don’t keep pecan flour…

Pumpkin Roll

I have not been having good luck with these jellyroll cakes. I had a whole other recipe I was going to make that didn’t work. When I pulled the cake out you could see chunks of flour that never got mixed (likely due to me being too gentle in folding) and I had to dump…
