Fresh Strawberry Cake

It's hard to find a strawberry cake mix that even remotely tastes like real fruit, so if you want to serve a delicious strawberry cake, fresh and homemade is the only way to go. For this cake, use the freshest berries you can find—the cake gets its color from the berries themselves. And feel free to make cupcakes instead of cake if you prefer.

White & Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake Bars

These bars rely on boxed cake mix, so they're a quick dessert for when you're in a bind. We love them because they're like nothing else. A chocolate cake base is covered with white and dark chocolate chips and then a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese is poured over the top, eventually rising to the top when baked to create a hot, chewy bar that just begs for a glass of milk.

Coconut Raspberry Cake

A traditional coconut cake recipe is a fine thing to have, and a simple raspberry filling always pairs beautifully with coconut cream cheese frosting. It adds a bit of tartness to the otherwise sweet, fluffy affair—creating the perfect balance and the urge to take just one more bite.
