Fall Harvest Cake
This week’s recipe comes from Dorie’s newest cookbook Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. Her chapters are very cute and this one comes from Cakes with Corners. After reading the ingredients, I knew my husband would love it as it included some of his favorites. Don’t let this ‘cake with corners’ fool you, it is quite complex. Lemon…
Devil’s Food Party Cake
This week’s recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. I decided to make this party cake for our Labor Day celebration. This cake is definitely for the chocolate lover 🍫. I thought my cakes were too slim to cut in half so I left this as a two-layer cake. This was a nice moist and chocolatey…

Orange Spice Cake
Our last bake of 2024 for Tuesdays with Dorie baking group. This was an easy recipe to wrap up the year. My husband gandered at the recipe and frowned at the cardamom and ginger, not his favorite flavors so I put him in charge of the spices. I was baking this cake for him and…
Jelly Roll Cake
I made this jelly roll cake, a light sponge cake rolled around a filling, for Father’s Day. Dorie gives several options in her “playing around” section. I opted to make the ice cream roll as ice cream is a family favorite. This was best the day it was made but leftovers were welcomed. Chocolate sauce…
Double-Decker Salted Caramel Cake
Happy Birthday to my fellow bakers who share an April Birthday; Kayte and Steph. I am sure we all follow the same tradition of baking our own cakes 🙂 I celebrate my birthday towards the end of the month and then we decided to wait until the weekend to celebrate with family so I am…
Breakfast-in-Rome Lemon Cake
Our latest baking adventure is this lemon Bundt cake from Baking with Dorie. I assigned this cake to my husband as I was sick and since my husband is the one who brought back this lovely cold from his recent business trip, I thought it the least he could do 🙂 This is a classic…
