    Cake

    Cake is one of my all-time favorite foods—just a notch below my beloved potatoes. Whether it’s for celebrations or just because, cake always feels like a treat.

    One of the best things about cake is that most varieties freeze beautifully, so I can make it now and enjoy leftovers later—perfect for busy days.

    This Tornado Cake is incredibly easy and always a crowd-pleaser. Our Cowboy Coffeecake is a classic favorite. Who doesn’t love a recipe with 'cowboy' in the name?

    If you’re looking for an easy way to transform a boxed mix into something spectacular, my Mississippi Mud Cake is the answer.
