Cake

One bite of this piña colada–inspired tres leches cake and you’ll understand why it earned the moniker “three sheets to the wind.”

Don’t be surprised at how quickly this olive oil and cornmeal-enriched sheet cake will disappear.

After nine tries (and so. much. cake.), we’re really sure it’s good.

A loaf cake is a loaf cake is a loaf cake—until you literally douse it in citrus. Then it's something else.

And a little creativity, obvs.

When you have a stash of this homemade cake mix on hand, a celebratory chocolate cake is just a whisk away.

Pure homemade birthday love. If you've got a bowl, a cheap hand mixer, and a couple of measuring cups, you can make this rich, chocolatey cake.

Because sometimes basic is best.

Butter isn't always better.

The most casual-cool carrot cake of all time.

Why shouldn’t sticky toffee pudding be baked in a classic Bundt shape and bathed in a salted toffee sauce? Yep, we couldn’t think of a reason either.

Everything you love about sticky toffee pudding cake, but with a whole new lewk.

Would I have survived in the big hot, tent? Probably not.

Whether you're trying to impress a date or taking the whole thing straight to the dome, this flourless chocolate cake is what you need.

Nothing says “I love you” like a fresh-baked dessert.

This (gluten-free!) flourless chocolate cake is decadent, rich, and super-easy to make.

This dulce de leche dessert is one way to say I love you—but you should probably also say that.

Everybody has heard of molten chocolate cake, so we thought we’d try to create a caramel version, with a toffee-ish tender cake encasing a runny dulce de leche center.

Earthy-sweet beet purée gives this gluten-free chocolate cake a beautiful red velvet hue.

This elegant, moist cake is ideal for serving at a large brunch party or with your morning coffee.

This is the anti-cheesecake, and it’s all we’ve ever wanted.

Baking a single large-format tamal may not be traditional, but it produces a similarly tender, moist, barely sweet cake with pudding vibes.

It is truly easy (no equipment required!), seriously impressive, and I never get tired of making (or eating) it.
