My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions. She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling. I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.
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.
