Top 10 List: Best Cake Recipes
[We continue to update the “Top 10” series of posts with cakes!]
It took me quite awhile to come around on the subject of cake. Growing up, I stopped requesting traditional cake for my birthday somewhere around middle school. My mom always asked what we’d like, and by then I no longer found plain birthday cake appealing and began asking for either ice cream cakes or cheesecakes. Now, I still love both of those options, but once I started to dabble in baking, I found that cakes can be totally amazing, especially if you enjoy getting creative!
Needless to say, I now revel in making cakes at home. Below is an updated list of my 10 favorite cake recipes… Enjoy!
1. Classic Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting
2. Coconut Bundt Cake with White Chocolate-Coconut Glaze
6. Peanut Butter Cup Overload Cake
10. Ultimate Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake
Q: What’s YOUR favorite cake recipe?

Hi Liz, I never have, but you could try!
i love your cakes. please tell me if you have ingredience to try at home
That peanut butter cup cake broke my focus (and made me drool!) so much that I hardly noticed the salted caramel apple cake (swoon!). YUM and YUM!
Late to the game, but OMG I combined those 2 cakes. #🤯yes
These cakes look awesome Michelle! I am a snickers bars and a peanut butter cup candy lover so both of the Snickers Cake and Peanut Butter Overloaded Cake are calling out to me! But that Ultimate Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake looks so stunning! I always seem to gravitate to oreo cookie recipes. I used to make alot of ganach style layer cakes and have not made a cake in a long time. You certainly are inspiring me with this Top 10 Cake List!
Mmmmm…..cake! Coconut. Carrot with cream cheese frosting. Lemon with berry sauce on the side (Sarah Moulton). Chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. OK, let’s get real, any cake is my favorite.
I can attest to how good the German Chocolate Cake is. I was NOT a fan of this cake before I made it but someone requested a wedding cake made completely out of GCC and this is the recipe I used. It was delish and I had a million positive comments on it at the wedding.
Do you e make Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream. I love that so much better than American buttercream now. It’s a little more involved, but I think it’s worth it! A little harder too when you have a 2 year old helper ?

Number 10, the ultimate cookies & cream Oreo cake, was a birth cake made by my husband two years ago. I hide the leftovers in the freezer for a month afterwards and secretly savored the awesomeness of it all the while longer. Hands down, an epic cake.
Spent a long time over this but finally settled on the Snickers cake…. just. The Peanut Butter Cup Overload pushed it very close!

Hi Jose, The cake list was updated prior to my making the chocolate cake with whipped mocha ganache, but even still, I would still choose the Texas sheet cake of the two – a very old favorite! :)
