Rock Recipes TOP 25 Cake Recipes

This post was first written back in 2013 but I’ve updated it today to include some new entries to the top ten. PLUS I’ve expanded the collection to include the 25 most baked cakes by our followers in the last 14 years!

There were some surprises in there since the last time the post was updated. The position of our Apple Upside Down Cake in particular surprised me. It climbed a long way to where it sits now.

All of the cakes in our TOP 25 cake recipes are outstanding desserts for any occasion. From the first day I started writing this recipe blog we have been featuring delicious dessert cakes.

Any of them are fit for any occasion you can name; from family dinners to any celebration. Now, over 11 years later I have published well over 100 cake recipes on this website.

I’ve crunched the numbers to come up with our top 25 most popular cake recipes over that time.

These are all dessert cakes and not heavier cakes like Christmas Fruitcakes, but if you want to take a look, we have a collection of Best Christmas Cakes Here.

Just made German chocolate cake excellent and topping very good. However the icing is way to sweet for this cake . I also suggest your directions are a little more detailed for novice bakers😊

I love the idea of your 5 ingredient condensed milk cake. My mouth was watering for it and I was going to bake it today. Alas there are no measurements. Please give me the recipe
