Birthdays

Are you looking for the perfect birthday cake recipe to celebrate that special someone? Good news. Here you will find a variety of options, ranging from this go-to, one-bowl buttermilk birthday cake recipe to this best-ever, rich chocolate cake recipe. 

This chocolate cake, made with buttermilk and oil — no butter — and exclusively cocoa — no melted chocolate — is incredibly light and moist and stays this way — tasting freshly baked — for days. It's another Ina Garten recipe, one she begged for from a friend, the grandson of Beatty, after taking one bite. // alexandracooks.com

One-Bowl Buttermilk Birthday Cake
This chocolate-espresso icebox cake takes all of 20 minutes to throw together, will receive rave reviews from your guests, and you will find too irresistible, impossible, in fact, not to sneak a little spoonful of every time you open the fridge. // alexandracooks.com

Chocolate-Espresso Icebox Cake
just-baked orange-ricotta pound cake — this is a one-bowl cake, flavored with orange zest and orange liqueur, made with butter (as opposed to oil). It stays moist for days and makes a wonderful gift.
