I love honey cake, but especially more so around the holidays. There is something very soothing about having hot herbal tea with a piece of honey cake, on a cold winter day, which is perfect around Christmas.

Pumpkin Roll – Recipe

All those pumpkins out there from Halloween decorations can be turned into pumpkin paste and baked into a nice Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Cheesecake…etc.

Chocolate Cake with Fleur De Sel Caramel Filling – Recipe

Another cake challenge proposed to me by my daughter a while back, as a choice for her Birthday cake.  I love trying out new recipes, so I was ready to tackle this one as well.  You can never go wrong with chocolate.  
This chocolate cake consists of 4 layers of cake, with chocolate ganache, creamy salted caramel, and toasted almonds. If this doesn’t make your mouth water, I don’t know what will!

Apple Torte with Caramel-Nut Glaze – Recipe

If you love Tortes, but have been looking for a lighter filling, rather than the traditional butter cream, this is a great recipe for you. The cake layers are very thin, and the filling is mostly apples, with a nice caramel glaze.
