10. Strawberry Confetti Cake

I’ll give you a quick run down of this Strawberry Confetti Cake just incase you haven’t had the pleasure of having the original version. It’s three layers of homemade strawberry cake, baked with sprinkles inside. Plus, it’s then filled with homemade strawberry filling and frosted with cream cheese frosting with sprinkles mixed in. This cake is the definition of fun!

9. Strawberry Patch Cake

I was inspired to create this Strawberry Patch Layer Cake from the book Caketopia by Sheri Wilson. For my version I used my favorite strawberry cake recipe and filled it with strawberry filling. Next, I paired it with a fluffy and sweet strawberry flavored bakery-style frosting.

8. Chocolate Covered Strawberries Cake

I created this recipe to celebrate the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, however; this Chocolate Covered Strawberries Cake is great to make and eat any time of the year! Enjoy sinking your teeth into three layers of moist dark chocolate cake, filled with strawberry filling and frosted with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream. But that’s not all, lastly I topped the cake with chocolate drip and chocolate covered strawberries!

7. Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake

If you’re looking for a rich and moist hot chocolate cake baked with a cinnamon twist, then this Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake is it! My Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake is a twist on my Hot Cocoa Cake. The chocolate cake layers are made with Abuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate tablets. Plus for a little extra cinnamon flavor I added a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients.

6. Toasted Coconut Caramel Cake

You’re in for a real treat with this recipe. This Toasted Coconut Caramel Layer Cake is inspired by one of my favorite Girl Scout cookies, Caramel deLites, also known as Samoa’s depending on your location. 

It’s three layers of light and slightly sweet caramel cake layers. In between the layers is a thick and sweet toasted coconut filling. For the buttercream I chose a lightly sweetened coconut Swiss meringue buttercream. And for all the fun garnishes I scooped up some toasted coconut flakes on the sides of the cake and topped it with some fudge drizzle and Caramel deLite cookies!

5. Cotton Candy Layer Cake

It’s three layers of cotton candy flavored cake with pink and blue swirls. Next, it’s filled with homemade marshmallow filling and frosted with cotton candy flavored Swiss meringue buttercream. And guess what… I’m gonna show you how to make it right out of your home kitchen!

Key Lime Pie Layer Cake

It’s no secret I love cake, but what you may not know is that I also love pie just as much! This Key Lime Pie Layer cake allows me (and you) to have the best of both worlds! The cake has three layers of homemade lime cake that’s filled with lime curd and a graham cracker crust. Then it’s frosted with a luscious lime flavored Swiss meringue buttercream. And garnished with fresh lime slices and more graham cracker crust.

2. Peaches and Cream Layer Cake

Thankfully I was able to squeeze in one more cake for the year of 2022. I had some leftover cranberries from my Egg Nog Layer Cake so I wanted to make the most of the ingredients I had on hand. Viola, my Orange Cranberry Cake was born.
