How to make homemade cake – start with the basics
Want to create a stunning cake that will impress everyone? It all starts with a great cake base! Whether you’re baking a vegan cake, a gluten-free dessert, or a classic layered cake, the foundation is key. Once your cake base is ready, it’s time to add your favorite flavors. In spring and summer, strawberries, raspberries, and citrus make fantastic fillings, while fall and winter call for rich flavors like orange or dark chocolate.
Then, cover your cake with something delicious—perhaps buttercream, whipped cream, or fondant? Finally, let your creativity shine through with decorations. Fresh berries, fruit, edible flowers, chocolate, or even colorful sprinkles are great ways to make your cake unique.
Here are three recipes for perfect cake layers to get you started:
