Chocolate Strawberry Cake is built using five different recipes. Sure it may sound complicated, but you do it all the time without thinking about it.

The Best Coconut Walnut Cake is so simple to make, you are going to say where was this recipe all my life. While the walnuts can be omitted, I would not recommend doing that. You can always use a different nut maybe even raisins or apples. The choice is always yours.
Vanilla Sponge cake is light and airy almost sponge like. When I assembly and decorate a sponge cake, I like to make sure I sprinkle some simple syrup on the layers under the icing/filling to moisten the cake. Sponge cakes tend to be on the dry side and this help moisten them up.
Can you make this at home, sure you can. You will find that homemade cakes are much better than box mixes. You know what your ingredients are and best of all no preservatives.

The Best Secret Chocolate Cake Recipe. This is my secret recipe I have decided to share. Please make it and comment on how it turns out.
Think about it. What is the difficult part of almost any cooking project. This is measuring and gathering you ingredients. This greatly applies to baking and cake decorating.
What is the big saying in carpentry? Measure twice and cut once. Well the same rule should apply to baking. Measure twice and do the recipe once. How hard can it be to measure? Thing about measuring a 1/3 cup of vegetable shortening. Do you use the water method – or do you fill a 1/3 cup measuring cup. And then the clean up. How about measuring it by weight with a scale. Zero the scale, add the shortening to the proper weight and you’re done. But remember, always review you ingredients and measure them twice.
Lay your ingredients out after double checking them twice. Then look over the recipe again verifying that you have the correct ingredient, correct amount specified, correct temperature and all your ingredients. read more
