If you are a chocolate lover but think that the average chocolate cake is a bit, well, one-dimensional, then this Black Magic Cake may be just right for you. It’s rather easy to make, can be made in under an hour, and makes use of a bit of coffee to draw out the elements of chocolate flavor that are all too often muted. I always thought that coffee and chocolate went well together; it turns out that they work brilliantly with each other in a cake!

I used to not like dark chocolate at all. Whenever someone offered me a slice of dark chocolate cake, I would cringe inside and have the tiniest piece ever. But something has happened over the years! I guess I’ve grown up because now I just can’t get enough of dark chocolate cakes, and this recipe is by far one of the best I’ve tried.

This Easy Pumpkin Cake may well be the easiest and fastest baking dessert treat you make for the holidays or any special occasion. It features an Apple Cider Glaze that itself is rather easy to throw together and brings an extra helping of delicious sweet spiciness to the recipe.

Pumpkin isn’t just for pumpkin pie; yellow cake mix isn’t just for basic yellow cake; and apple cider isn’t just for drinking. They combine nicely to form a simple but delicious cake that will go nicely with any other seasonal treat or with your special dinner menu. Just make sure you have the recipe at hand – your family and friends will be begging you for it!

Quick tip: This cake is delicious even without the glaze – try serving it warm with some vanilla ice cream!

If you want a cake that is simple to make but moist, buttery, and all-around yummy, consider trying Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake. You have to give the cake a little time to cool, but with only 20 minutes of active time, it’s a low-hassle recipe and well worth the wait. Just put on an old record and the time will go by before you know it! Elvis had some interesting tastes, but he knew good comfort food when he saw it. He also knew how to sing like an angel 🙂

Give this pound cake recipe a try, and it may just become your favorite, too. After all, how could you dislike something that The King of Rock’n’ Roll himself endorsed? This cake is so versatile you could tone it up or down depending on the occasion. My favorite way of serving it is with plenty of white sugar frosting!

You can’t go wrong with white sugar frosting!

Quick Tip: Enjoy this pound cake with your favorite berries.

Bundt cakes are a good option when you need something that’s light and quick to make. This Pumpkin Bundt Cake can be prepped and baked in well under an hour, and it comes with a simple but delicious cinnamon glaze.

Yes, I have dived full-on into fall baking season and haven’t looked back. This pumpkin bundt cake was incredibly easy and quick to put together but didn’t scrimp on the flavor. Oh, and it’s surprisingly light, too, both in terms of texture and calories. Would you believe that one slice (about the standard one seen in the photo, not any super-thin tease of a slice) is only about 180 calories? For a cake, that’s mighty good!

This Chocolate Wacky Cake recipe may be, well, a bit wacky, but you’ll love how it turns out (and how easy and quick it is to make)! It also comes with a simple but very delicious chocolate icing.

I have to admit, when I saw the ingredient list, with vinegar and without any eggs (and without butter in the cake itself), I was a bit skeptical. And just 20 minutes to bake–crazy, right? Well, I’m still not 100% sure HOW it works, but it does work beautifully.

If you like simple, lightly textured cakes, and you like the zest of lemon, you’ll love this Iced Lemon Pound Cake.  It bakes in about an hour, fills two 9 X 5 loaf pans, and makes about 24 slices.

Most people go to Starbucks exclusively for the coffee, but they have some nice dessert treats, as well. One of their more popular dessert items is the iced lemon pound cake. As it turns out, it is rather easy to make this treat for yourself at home.

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!
