Delta Caramel Cake

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,...

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...
