6-inch Pie and Cake Recipes

Pie and Cake Baking Recipes for 6-Inch and 6-Cup Pans

Small pan baking has revolutionized the way I think about making desserts. I no longer have mountains of leftovers gathering frost in my freezer, and we don't have to eat more than we really want. Pie recipes fit 6-inch pans, and cakes are designed for 6-inch round pans. 6-cup Bundt pan recipes make a lovely, smaller cake. Smaller-sized pies and cakes still serve six for a dinner party. In case you're feeding a crowd, I provide full-size instructions for pie and cake recipes. 6-inch pies, like my Lemon Lovers Lemon Pie, are formulated to perfectly fit your smaller pie plate. You won't have to struggle with the math to reduce a full-size recipe or end up with too little or too much filling. You can purchase a 6-inch glass pie plate at Amazon. Cream pies are always popular and not difficult baking recipes to make. Try my Double Chocolate Pie for a traditional favorite. Caramelized Banana Cream Pie tastes like banana pudding in a crushed cookie pie shell. My 6-inch round Chocolate Mousse layer cake is sure to please the chocolate fans in your family. Fresh raspberries add just the right hint of tartness to balance the chocolate. The whipped cream frosting is lighter than buttercream and every bit as good. Try my Chocolate Hazelnut Cake for a burst of mocha flavor. Double-strength hazelnut coffee in the frosting gives this dessert its distinctive flavor. Feather Spice Cake is a lighter-than-air layer cake with maple buttercream frosting. 6-cup Bundt cakes range from dense, traditional pound cakes to lighter cakes. My Chocolate Chip Nut Cake is an old favorite of mine, packed with nuts and chocolate chips. Many bakers in my family have a prized pound cake recipe, but the grand prize goes to my great-aunt Elise for her Chocolate Glazed Pound Cake. It tastes exactly the way you remember good pound cake tasting as a child, and you can glaze or eat plain. Contact us and learn more about our pie and cake recipes.
