6 cakes you want to bake right now

Is it your birthday, do you have something to celebrate, or are you simply seized by an irresistible urge to bake? Get the rolling pin, mixing bowl and whisk out of the cupboard and make one of these cakes.

Buttermilk saffron pie

The crust of this pie is super flaky and crisp. The combination may sound strange, but it works perfectly thanks to the freshness of the buttermilk and lemon and the sweetness of the saffron. This one is a keeper.

Tarte Tatin

Tarte tatin came about by accident, because the Tatin sisters forgot the pastry while baking the apple pie. We don’t mind at all, because this French classic is now our go-to foolproof dessert.

Red velvet cake

Moist cake and a thick layer of frosting: red velvet is definitely one of our favorite cakes. The recipe by FavorFlav’s Emma is the very best, because she adds a cup of strong coffee.

Banoffee cheesecake with double chocolate

This ultimate banoffee cheesecake from Cheesy Cakes in Amsterdam is ready in fifteen minutes. The only difficult part is having to wait an hour for it to cool.

New York Cheesecake

With this recipe, you can always make the perfect basic cheesecake, with an extra-thick, crispy base and an ultra-creamy filling.

Blackout cake

Three layers of moist, soft chocolate cake, two layers of chocolate pudding and frosting on top as well: this blackout cake must be the ultimate chocolate cake.
