Cake recipes that actually work at home - layer cakes, pound cakes, bundt cakes, upside-down cakes and everything in between, with honest tips for each one.
A tender pistachio sponge made with finely ground pistachios in the batter, topped with a light pistachio cream and finished with chopped pistachios. Subtle, nutty, and elegant - the kind of cake that impresses without trying too hard.
The great British pub pudding - a deeply moist date cake soaked in warm toffee sauce until sticky, rich, and completely irresistible. Served warm with extra sauce poured over and a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.
A warmly spiced, deeply moist pumpkin cake with a tender crumb and the kind of autumn flavor that fills the whole kitchen. Simple enough for a weeknight, good enough to serve at any gathering from October through December.
A four-layer carrot cake sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar, filled and frosted with silky cream cheese frosting, and finished with toasted walnuts. Warmly spiced, deeply moist, and genuinely better the next day.
Three layers of deeply crimson, impossibly tender sponge with a subtle cocoa undertone, filled and frosted with classic tangy cream cheese frosting. One of the most dramatic cakes you can make, and one of the most rewarding.
Delicate layers of light vanilla sponge, fresh berry filling, and cloud-soft mascarpone Chantilly cream, piled high with raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The cake this site is named for.
