Cakes come in many shapes, sizes and flavors. They can be light and fluffy, moist and dense, sweet or savory. Some of the most popular types include:
Layer Cakes
These cakes are made with two or more layers of cake batter that are stacked together with a delicious filling or frosting between each layer. Popular examples include red velvet cake, carrot cake and strawberry shortcake.
Bundt Cakes:
Bundt cakes are usually baked in a ring-shaped pan which gives them their signature shape. They are often topped with a glaze or drizzled icing for added sweetness. Common bundt cakes include lemon pound cake and pumpkin spice bundt cake.
Cupcakes
Small cakes that are made by baking batter in individual cupcake liners. They are usually topped with frosting and can be decorated for different occasions. Popular flavors include vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and carrot cake.
Cheesecakes
These decadent desserts are typically made from a combination of cream cheese, eggs, sugar and other flavorings. They often have a sweet graham cracker crust or a fruit-based topping such as cherry or blueberry sauce.
Specialty Cakes
These cakes can come in all shapes and sizes and may be filled or topped with non-traditional ingredients such as mousses, fruits, nuts or candy bars. Examples include ice cream cake, tiramisu cake, and chocolate mousse cake.
No matter which type you choose, nothing beats a freshly-baked cake for any special occasion or just because. Enjoy!
