This Almond Cream Cake has a lovely light and velvety texture and is really moist and creamy. It’s paired beautifully with a homemade cooked and whipped frosting and is sure to be well received at any gathering. I do love the taste of almonds in my sweets. It’s such a nice complement to the taste of cream and sugar. This cake really has a rich flavor, yet it manages to be so light and moist, too… just heavenly, in my opinion.

There is a TON of frosting involved – which, in my opinion, is a good thing!However, if you’d prefer a thinner frosting layer you can simply just halve the ingredients for that one. That’s really a matter of personal preference, though. I loved the flavor of the cake and I could eat on frosting alone, so no amount is too much for me…

This Drunken Apple Cake is a great cake recipe for fall and the holidays! It is incredibly moist, to the point of being custard-like in places, and it features a nice balance of sweet, tart, and (thanks in large part to the rum) slightly spicy flavor. This is a great choice for anyone who likes a really “wet” dessert with a lot of flavor depth. I loved the alternating layers of firm cake and creamy apple goodness. If you like apples at all, you really ought to give this recipe a try!

Of course, the precise flavor balance that you have will depend in part on your choice of apples. I went with an aged rum for a bit of a richer flavor, but you could go with a light rum if you want a bit of a leaner, crisper flavor or a spiced rum if you want your cake to be a bit on the sweetly spicy side.

If you like a cake on the super-moist and sweetly spicy side, this Gooey Cinnamon Cake recipe is definitely worth a try! Actual baking time is only 25 minutes, and it is surprisingly straightforward to put together. I do love the flavor of cinnamon. It is particularly good for fall and for the holidays, though I enjoy it during all times of year. Some recipes that make use of cinnamon as the central ingredient can turn out a bit dry, but that certainly isn’t the case here.

You can use honey as a substitute for the light corn syrup, though you want to be careful to make use of a mildly flavored honey if you do so. Otherwise, it will overpower the other flavors and make the cake a bit too, well, intense. Though there is a little prep work involved here, it’s nothing that should be too difficult for you, so long as you have at least a basic electric mixer to use. Enjoy!

This Simple Banana Pudding Cake bakes in about 45 minutes, with just a few easy steps to prep it before baking. Don’t let the simplicity of this cake or its two-ingredient icing fool you, however. This cake is loaded with rich, sweet flavor, and it’s incredibly moist!  It’s a dessert that’s easy enough to make whenever you feel like a little treat for yourself or your family, and yet it will be a big hit at most any gathering.

This recipe makes good, creative use of a few basic ingredients!  The use of olive oil instead of the usual vegetable or canola oil adds a bit of extra depth to the flavor without weighing the cake down too much. You can actually eat this cake even without the simple icing and have a very nice dessert, but it really is about the perfect topping for it. Enjoy!
