I am very lucky to be surrounded by many excellent bakers in my and my husband’s side of the family, who also love to share their recipes.
I have been baking honey cakes for a very long time now, and love them all, but this one is even lighter in texture and consists of other special ingredients, hence the recipe for Honey Cake Maria.
Apricot Cake is a must on our dessert platter, especially when our sons are visiting us for the holidays.
They enjoy most of my baked goods, but this one is their favorite, maybe because they can’t find it anywhere else.
A friend of mine, who is not a big fan of apricots, gave this cake a five-star rating…:-).
This was my first cake recipe requiring buttermilk, so I was very excited to give it a try.
I used buttermilk in homemade waffles and liked the results, so I did not doubt that this cake would turn out great as well.
Another birthday at the office, so as usual, I offered to make a special birthday cake, but asked the birthday boy to provide me with a cake recipe of his choosing.
For the past three years I have been making her favorite Chocolate Cake with Fleur de Sel Caramel Filling, but this year I just wanted to do something different.
She selected a Dark Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache, so I took her up on the idea, and baked the above pictured cake.
