Delta Caramel Cake
This cake is excerpted from American Cake, a beautiful new book by Nashvillian Anne Byrn, (aka The Cake Mix Doctor). From Colonial Gingerbread to Classic Layer, it gives us a snapshot of the stories...
Kahlua Cake
Edible Nashville is 5! Lets eat cake! This petite cake comes to us by way of friend and Nashvillian Candace Floyd.
Gluten-Free Almond, Pear & Sorghum Cake
The cake batter bakes up over a double layering of pears, which soften and make a dense, almost bread pudding-like texture to this cake. And it’s gluten free!
Red Velvet Cake
This is the cake I started making when I was twelve. It has what I consider the real frosting, a delicate yet rich buttercream. The procedure is a bit finicky. You make a sauce from flour and milk,...
Orange and Cranberry Bundt Cake from The Sweet Stash Bakery
Whitney May is the owner and baker at The Sweet Stash, which has been enticing shoppers at the Nashville Farmers' Market for 2 years now. This is a best seller at The Sweet Stash around the holidays....
Chocolate Malt Cake
Another little cake for everyday. Enjoy this chocolate cake with a malt surprise.

Malted Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Here is a riff on a Martha Stewart recipe which, over the years, has morphed into this recipe that I nailed this year. The kids fought over them. My friend hoarded hers. Chewy malted chocolate cookies...
Pumpkin Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Inspired by my recent tour of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, this cake is layered with flavors––pumpkin, cinnamon, white chocolate, and of course the chocolate sauce made with the liqueur named...
Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake
This luxurious cheesecake from Flour Your Dreams Bakery is baked in a water bath, which tempers the heat and keeps it almost mousse-like in the center.
Jill's Carrot Cake
This is the carrot cake I've made for years—35 to be exact. It has the perfect balance of pineapple to carrot to cream cheese frosting. It was my husband's birthday cake of choice for years. In fact...
Butter Pecan Banana Cream Cake
Looking for a job? Hint: Bring cake.
Life is good when you (finally) hire a publishing assistant and to thank you she walks in with peach brown sugar bundtlettes with salted caramel sauce...
