Not a typical cake, but my pick would be warm gingerbread with butter and jam

For random weekend baking, I prefer a loaf cake or simple bundt - for whatever reason it lends itself to snacking better. I love lemon poppyseed, plain and chocolate chip pound cakes, and my latest interest has been olive oil cakes with citrus - I love the Simple Cakes cookbook!

However, for an occasion, that Restaurant Eve cake looks fantastic, as does Ina’s coconut came.

You don't have to tint the frosting pink, or use sprinkles, but doing both things makes it taste better


DP. Was curious as to what this cake looked like based on the recipe, so pulled it up. It's not what I would make for a random weekend cake (I'll always go either chocolate forward, fruit forward, or spice/carrot cake) but I bet my DD would LOVE this for her birthday!



Thank you for sharing the photo! It has brightened my afternoon. It makes a ton of frosting so prepare yourself.

Something with fancy decorations. Maybe even cake pops.

I made this a few weeks ago and it was really good:

The cake was very moist with perfect crumb, and I loved the combination of chocolate and tart from the raspberries.
