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?
Oh man I wish I had a slice of one of these right now. They all look amazing; it wouldn’t matter which one I had.
This all look great!
Your cakes are lovely! I cannot wait to try them out.

I have been thinking about the peanut butter cup overload cake since it was posted last year 4 days (!!!) after my birthday. I have had it bookmarked to make for this year! I made it Tuesday for an early 30th birthday celebration with friends last night and it was such a hit! The chocolate cake was wonderful and is still amazingly moist (even though the whole thing was sliced up so I ate pre-sliced cake for breakfast…with bacon) and the frosting is amazing! Super decadent, and exactly what I wanted for my 30th. Thanks for a great recipe! Now, I need to find some more excuses to bake cake to try out some of these other recipes…
I miss Rum Cake from my honeymoon. I guess I will have to make it at home!

Mmmmm cake heaven!
My first time of hearing of a Ho Ho Cake but it sure sounds good. Have made the Texas Sheet Cake many times and love to make the Pumpkin Roll. Love anything with peanut butter in it.
I am really enjoying your daily blogs and gloriously mouth watering pictures of food I want to eat and cook. So far I have only managed to look at the pictures but its still a joy, so thank you. Keep up the great work, from a devoted foodie now running a non profit who is too tired to cook!!! Cheers M x
I always used to request Angel Food Cake for my birthday because traditional cake just didn’t do it for me. It takes a really special cake recipe for me to say, “Wow, that was good.” I will have to give some of these a try!
My all time favorite is your Perfect Party Cake
(March 29, 2008). It has the best ever meld of flavors.
I want to make all the cakes! Except the pumpkin one – blech, pumpkin. :) Everything I’ve made from your recipes has turned out amazing. Now I want cake…
Your cakes are the absolute best!! They look gorgeous and taste even better. I think that the peanut butter overload cake is the only one of the ten I haven’t made yet.
your snickers cake is AMAZZZZZZZZING!!!!! [yes, it requires all the Z’s and exclamation points]
Oh man I wish I had the chocolate peanut butter thang going on at home right now! I don’t have my own personal favorite cake right now…work in progress?
I LOVE LOVE your snickers cake, i’ve made it two times and my family is still talking about it. Next up is the blueberry buckle :)
I have also made the Hershey’s Chocolate Cake Recipe and it is AMAZING. I have officially stopped looking for chocolate cake recipes. It’s my one and only! Will have to try making some of these other cakes – especially the homemade tiramisu and carrot cakes :-P. Thanks so much for sharing your faves!

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve
either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it
is popping it up all over the web without my authorization.
Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
They all look yummy!!! I love cakes
it looks so yummy!
oh… thanks for all great ideas.. i just enjoyed my red velvet cakes (bakes in my tiny oven) and the whole family thought i bought it from cake house… !! great experience…
My absolute favorite of all time is Ebinger’s Black Out Cake. There is a great recipe for it in Molly O’Neill’s New York Cookbook. She got the recipe from one of the family member’s of Ebinger’s Bakery before they went out of business.
I also love a really good cheesecake and last is Boston Cream Pie, which is not a pie but a cake. I had the real thing at the Parker House Hotel, where it was created, last summer.
I have made the Ebinger’s Black Out Cake a few times. It is a wonderful cake. Soooo chocolate-y.
I love any kind of ice cream cake, but especially ones that have a crunchy layer in them. Sanders Bumpy Cake is also pretty incredible. I once made a toffee candy cake that I had to put a lock on so I wouldn’t keep sneaking slivers of it. Crumb cake definitely reminds me of my childhood in NYC. I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Trying to determine my fave is like trying to figure out which arm is my favorite. They’re all fabulous! I’d made up my mind to back off cakes for a bit. Hmmmmm, may have to rethink that. You’ve whet my appetite.
You are fabulous!!! I have 2 birthdays to make cakes for and using 2 of them from your top 10!! Thank you so much for sharing! I cannot wait to make these:)
I doubt I could say no to any of the cakes you pictured above, but if I have to choose one that I absolutely love, I would say “Tuxedo Cake” :)
Fig and almond cheesecake PLEASE! :D
