Learn how to make these 19 Spring Inspired Cakes.
My favorite part about Spring is all the delicate colors, the sweet blossom smells, and the bright citrus fruit.
Today we are taking inspiration from all the best parts about Spring and turning them into flavorful, delicious cakes that may be too beautiful to eat.
Choose from cakes like Lemon Blueberry Thyme Cake, Berries & Cream Champagne Cake, Flower Fault Line Cake, and a super fun Party Llama Cake.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, holiday, or just a friendly gathering, these springtime cakes are perfect for you.
Tips for Success:
- Read through all the ingredients and instructions so you can get a better idea of how much time and what you need to make this cake.
- A single batch of this cake recipe makes three 6-inch round cake layers or two 8-inch round cake layers. Double the cake recipe to make enough cake batter for three 8-inch cake layers.
- In some recipes, you may need 1 cup buttermilk; if you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, you can easily use 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar to make your own. (If you need ½ cup buttercream, adjust the recipe to ½ cup whole milk and add 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar).
- Be careful not to overmix this cake batter, or else the cake will come out dense. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- When baking a cake, you’ll see the bake time in the recipe, and it might look like this, 30-35 minutes. Set the timer to 30 minutes and add additional time if the cake needs to be baked more. Check the center of the cakes with a toothpick and check to see if it comes out clean. If required, then add two additional minutes until baked through. This is easier to control and to make sure you don’t over-bake the cake.
- You can bake the cake layers ahead of time. Wrap the cake layers in a double layer of plastic wrap and freeze for up to one month.
- Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
