Easy & Delicious Cake Recipes

Whether you're baking a show-stopping cake for a special occasion, or a simple snacking cake for an afternoon coffee break, I've got you covered. Here's where you'll find all my easy & delicious cake recipes for every occasion.

If you need a decadent four-layer dessert, bake my lavender chocolate cake. Or if you just want a simple one-layer cake, try my sweet date cake. And if you're craving a German cake, bake a traditional Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake).
