Cake Recipes from Simple to Showcase

My cake page features cakes of many types. Cupcakes are a perfect individual dessert for a party or informal gathering and single layer cakes are quick to make. Crowd-pleasing desserts don't have to be a three-layer masterpiece. You can still feed a crowd with a simpler, one-layer creation. Check out my Blueberry Ricotta Cake or Cinnamon Apple Torte for easy party ideas. For the chocolate lovers in your family or friends, try my easy Chocolate Fudge Cake. Simplifying the dessert helps you focus on dinner prep and lessens time spent in the kitchen. Your guests will still love the final course. When only a showcase dessert will do, make my Chocolate Angel Food Cake. I freeze unneeded egg whites throughout the year until I've saved enough to make angel food cake. The cake requires little more than careful handling of egg whites, so isn't as difficult to make as you might think. My Lemon Mint Cupcakes are a grown-up version of a childhood favorite dessert. Fresh mint pairs with lemon zest to add layers of flavor in this chiffon cupcake. Top it off with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting to intensify the lemony tang.
