Cakes

And you thought that boxed yellow cake mix and canned chocolate frosting you inhaled as a kid was good. This version may make you rethink your childhood.

You know that coffee cake made with sour cream is going to be moist and tender. Add blueberries, lemon, and a sweet-tangy glaze, you’ve got something special.

A campfire classic elevated to proper dessert status. The parts you know and love are here, but now they’re covering a lush brown sugar cake. And no mosquitos!

A chocolate lover’s dream come true, in the form of a lightly textured, dark chocolate mousse. Not too sweet, not too rich—just right.

A simple, old-style French dessert that’s as easy to toss together as it is to tie a scarf.

Trust us when we tell you this cake is about as unfussy as it gets. An hour from start to finish, no tricky ingredients and a taste reminiscent of an old-school boxed cake mix.

True to its name, this dense, brownie-like cake takes its allure from a full pound of chocolate. A hint of cocoa lends even more chocolatey complexity.

One of the best darned chocolate cakes we’ve ever experienced. Seriously. (Would we tease about a topic as life-altering as this?!)

Crunchy topping, tender crumb, and a cream-cheese filling make this coffee cake an irresistible addition to your table. No one will guess it’s gluten-free.

Just like the much-ballyhooed chocolate blackout cake from Ebinger’s in Brooklyn, this one has the same pudding-like filling, the same tender chocolate crumb, and the same rich, rich frosting.
