3 Favorite cake recipes

Chocolate, banana, and lemon for the win! 


Birthdays come but once a year, and mine is coming tomorrow! To celebrate, I'm rounding up three of my favorite cake recipes, one for each of my (almost-ish) three decades on this little blue planet. 

#1 Beatty's Chocolate Cake
In my book, dessert always starts with chocolate. You can't beat it! This cake from Ina Garten will knock your chocolate-loving socks off. It's so good, it doesn't even need to be slathered with frosting — in fact, I prefer it with less. The addition of freshly-brewed coffee and a dash of cinnamon makes it super special.



#2 Banana Dream Cake 
Who would really go out of their way for banana cake, right? Well this one will make a believer out of you. It's seriously divine — moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting puts it over the deliciousness edge. Like, at a family party, someone told me "This is the best cake I've eaten in my entire life!" High praise. Would that I could go out of my way for this scrumptious cake every day!


#3 Lemon Chiffon Cake
If I had to pick a fruity dessert flavor for the rest of my life, it would be lemon, hands down. It's the most versatile and just so scrumptious, like in this light, heavenly, lemon chiffon cake. It's perfect for spring and summer with its bright, sunshiny vibe and an airiness that we all crave during warmer months.
