Cake in a Mug
This is a recipe that my oldest daughter brought home one day to add to our recipe box. She loved making these as often as she could and I loved to try them out when she made them. Cakes in a Mug are great for when you have a sweet tooth but don’t want to make a whole cake.
Pumpkin Roll
I finally found the recipe! My original is floating around somewhere but I found a copy of it in my Holiday Binder in the Thanksgiving folder… right where it should be! My oldest daughter and one of my sisters love to make these around the holidays and everyone looks forward to them!
You can also check out this neat idea I saw on Pinterest to make it a little bit more festive. If that link doesn’t work check out this one HERE.
Old Fashioned Pound Cake
Who doesn’t love pound cake? Seriously, if you don’t enjoy pound cake then I don’t know if we can be friends… just kidding. Here is a classic recipe that always pleases the crowds!
You could probably experiment with extracts to get different flavors and try a simple glaze (confectioner’s sugar, milk, and optional flavoring) for a little something extra.
Mississippi Mud Cake
If you like chocolate and coconut then you will probably enjoy this cake… I am an undeniable chocaholic and I love coconut so this is an all-around winner for me.
My little brothers and sisters about died the very first time I made this. It was such an ugly cake the first time I tried it but the taste was pure heaven!
Red Velvet Cake w/Cream Cheese Icing
I have a couple of kiddos who absolutely love red velvet… I can’t say that I blame them because I’m pretty fond of it myself. I’ve got this recipe for red velvet brownies that I want to try with this as the base… yummy!
Applesauce Cake
I don’t rightly remember where this recipe came from but I do know that my little brother loved it when he was just a little thing… so it’s been around for a while now. You can use this Homemade Buttercream Icing to frost it or give it just a sprinkle of powdered sugar or leave it plain.

Some of these recipes are not that difficult and you can let the kids help… and make some great memories as well!
Grab a plate and maybe a big ole can of whipped cream and dig in!
No-Bake Cheesecake with Flavor Variations
I love cheesecake and so does my second eldest son… so much that he insists on having cheesecake for his birthday and any other special occasion. I do have a recipe for a traditional cheesecake but I can’t seem to find it at the moment as it may be packed away.
This recipe is simple and tastes great! You can play with the ingredients to make your own flavors as well as trying different variations on the crust until you find your ‘perfect’ combination.
