Weekend Project: Bake A Cake For A Friend, Friend Loves You Forever.
Let's all just breathe for a minute. Who feels like the polar vortex sucked all the life out of them and deserves a piece of cake. Possibly more than one. If you're among the tens of millions mildly affected by Polar Vortex Cthulu, do your loved ones (or roommates) a favor and bake a celebration cake. We've got 10 great recipes from caramel-covered caramel cake and Jack Daniels-infused cake and frosting to a light, moist French yogurt cake that just screams classy. You've got options. And then you've got cake.
French Yogurt Cake Recipe
Till this day, I can barely bake, so if I could do it then, you can do it with your eyes shut. The dessert is popular all over France, although versions do exit in other Mediterranean countries. I like to have a thick slice for breakfast, with some fresh figs or strawberries and a dollop of cream. Bon appétit!
Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip-Praline Cake Recipe
When it comes to Southern cooking, there are few dishes that can't be improved with a little Jack Daniel's. Cookbook author, food and drink writer and Food Republic contributor Chris Chamberlain loaned us this chocolate chip cake recipe from his new book, The Southern Foodie.
Pistachio And Almond Cake With Orange Salad Recipe
This homespun loaf cake evokes the nut tree-covered hills of Avellino and the lemon-scented Amalfi coast. The cake batter is primarily ground raw nuts, generously flavored with lemon zest. The latter gives the finished cake a pronounced citrus flavor that pairs well with the orange salad.
Clementine Meringue Cake With Rosemary Recipe
The scent of clementine with rosemary reminds the Meringue authors of Tuscany, but that's not where this meringue-lightened cake was inspired. Sometimes the best desserts come from a really great cocktail.
Matt and Ted Lee's Caramel Cake Recipe
Sticky-sweet classic Southern caramel cake, done masterfully by the Lee brothers.
Banana Bread Pudding Cake Recipe
It's two desserts in one!
Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake Recipe
This Southern cake is slightly chocolatey, and it is almost impossible to guess that Coca-Cola is an ingredient —although if you can lay your hands on some gummy Coca-Cola bottles to adorn it, they might just provide a clue. Annie Bell's recipe, after the jump.
