I feel it began again in 2018 with my now-famous Paleo Chocolate Cake with Paleo Chocolate Frosting. I actually couldn’t consider how scrumptious this cake was, particularly as a result of it was gluten free, grain free, dairy free & paleo-friendly! Since then I’ve created 10-15 extra fantastic cake recipes starting from a tremendous carrot cake to a beautiful lemon blueberry cake.

There actually is a cake for anybody and everybody on this listing.

Ideas for frosting a cake

Getting the right layers of frosting in your cake, particularly spherical layered muffins, can really feel intimidating. Take a look at all of my suggestions & tips for superbly frosting these muffins:

• Let the cake layers cool fully. Ensure to let the cake layers cool fully earlier than frosting them in order that the frosting doesn’t soak into the muffins.
• Do a crumb coat first. Frost the layers as you usually would after which coat the skin of the cake with a really skinny layer of your frosting. Then, place the cake within the fridge for 10-Quarter-hour earlier than you end frosting. That is in order that the crumbs stick with this layer of frosting and never your principal layer.
• Including a drizzle? When you’re including, say, a chocolate drizzle on high of the frosting layer, be sure you place the cake within the fridge after frosting it and earlier than including the drizzle. This may permit the drizzle to set correctly on high.

The proper freezer-friendly dessert

That’s proper, these cake recipes will be frozen both frosted or unfrosted for as much as 2 months! I like to recommend freezing your cake unfrosted and in particular person layers for the most effective outcomes. Right here’s learn how to do it:

1. As soon as the cake layers are cool, merely wrap every particular person layer in plastic wrap & aluminum foil.
2. Place the muffins in a zip-top freezer bag.
3. If you’re able to serve, thaw the cake layers within the fridge in a single day after which let the cake come to room temperature earlier than serving.
