We’ve had the best time this month going over these fun six essential cake recipes for every baker. Each recipe is one that every baker should have ready in their back pocket for clients, but also even for home bakers to make for their families and friends!

Six cake recipe every baker needs

I know we all love the new flavors with different textures and flavors, but there’s always a few cakes I come back to. We will always need a few classic flavors that our clients, family, friends, and even kiddos will request for their gatherings. It’s always nice to have a handful of classic cake recipes in your back pocket that you know will work each and every time. You want them to be easy to make, you want them to taste delicious, and you need them to be a winner that you come back to each and every time. I know we can always add to this list – yellow cake, strawberry, lemon, caramel, etc. But these just felt right as a good starter, and I know there’s always cakes we can add to this list forever and ever! Cake is fun that way.

TASTED, TESTED, AND TRUE

You guys, I have you covered!!! Throughout this month, I’ve been sharing SIX of my go-to-classic cakes that I know will up your baking game, improve your business (if that’s what you’re here in cake land for – your clients will go crazy over these cakes!) and become your new favorite recipes. They’re easy, fool-proof, and have been proven over the YEARS to be the best of the best. They’ve won blind taste-tests, sold hundreds of thousands of cookbooks, and earned so many bakers increased revenue because their customers LOVE the way these cakes taste.

Here’s another look at our lineup, don’t they look absolutely delicious?

Let’s review what we’ve covered over these past three weeks:

Cake #1:

Red Velvet Cake with

Almond Cream Cheese Buttercream

This essential Red Velvet Cake is stunning and full of gorgeous flavor. Everyone who has tasted this cake says it’s the best red velvet cake they’ve ever had. No joke! And I totally understand why – the almond in the cream cheese is irresistible, as well as the most tender red velvet cake layers underneath. This cake sure is something special! Find the recipe HERE.

Cake #2:

chocolate Peanut Butter cake

with peanut butter buttercream

This cake is my most requested cake flavor. Like ever. Everyone absolutely loves this cake and it’s one that people will come back for an extra slice, guaranteed. The chocolate cake is thick and moist, and the buttercream is one I love to come back to each and every time I want to really have a favorite on the table. The peanut butter cups and ganache drip are not essential, but sure make the cake extra special. Find this favorite recipe of ours (and yours) HERE.

Cake #3:

Chocolate cake with

Chocolate buttercream

This chocolate cake is a chocolate-lovers dream come true! The luscious chocolate-y cake layers, and the very best chocolate buttercream are everything anyone could want in a mouthwatering chocolate cake recipe. The chocolate shavings really add a fun texture, too, so don’t skip out on those! Find the recipe HERE.

Cake #4:

Vanilla Funfetti Cake with

Vanilla Buttercream

This cake reminds me of my big brother more than anything. Mostly because this is his favorite cake flavor, and all these sprinkles are bright and happy! It’s basically my white cake (which is also a huge winner all around), but with lots and lots of… you guessed it… sprinkles! You can cover the entire cake with sprinkles, or just hide them on the inside. It’s up to you! Find the recipe HERE.

Cake #5:

Coconut Pineapple Cake with

toasted coconut

It’s a taste of tropical heaven on a plate! This cake is absolutely perfect and I know it’s many of your favorite cakes on the planet! Yep! It’s that good, and I swear you’re going to come back to this recipe each and every time you need a tropical fix. With tender pineapple cake layers, soft coconut buttercream, and toasted coconut, this cake will have you asking for yet another slice, each and every time. Find the recipe HERE.

Cake #6:

Pumpkin Cake with

Browned Butter Maple Buttercream

This cake is truly extraordinary! There isn’t anything like it that compares to the perfectly pumpkin-flavored cake layers and the most tremendously delicious brown butter buttercream. No matter the time of year, this cake will have you sold at that first moist bite. Find the recipe HERE.

I know out of all six, there’s sure to be one that will become your new favorite, or even all six will become a great place to start for your cake business. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this series and save these cakes for the next time you’re in the kitchen whipping up something special to share with your loved ones.

Happy baking!
