These one-bowl, no-mixer pink cakes are the perfect way to celebrate the month of February. They shout "I love you", "I care", and/or "I want to be your friend". Besides being ridiculously easy, they're also ridiculously delicious!
February... a month that can bring winter doldrums. The cold, dreary days sometimes seem endless. But there's a respite! I love that February 14th is a game-changer regarding all that. Valentine's Day brings cheer and a reason to celebrate family, friends and loved ones. We're sharing 5 delicious pink cakes that are perfect for surprising your sweetheart(s) with something beautiful and tantalizing.
Then again... you could also make all five... that's perfectly legal, but only in February!
All five of these cakes have a tender, moist crumb and come together quickly with just one bowl and no electric mixer needed. The icings offer the same ease of preparation. Choose one (or more!) - and see if "love" doesn't waft through your kitchen as they bake!
With each recipe, we've included pics of the inside as well as the pretty pink exterior. As you will see, no dry, boring cakes in this collection!
This easy one-bowl buttermilk cake is always a huge hit with its moist, tender crumb and incredibly delicious fresh raspberry buttercream!
The delicious raspberry-studded buttercream is the perfect compliment to the sweet, tender cake!
This fabulous Vanilla Bean Sheet Cake with Fresh Strawberry Icing also comes together super quickly with just one bowl and a whisk. The beautiful pink-hued icing is bursting with fresh strawberry flavor!
Pretty as a picture with a super tender crumb inside that melts in your mouth!
Make this fabulous, super-easy French Almond Cake with just one bowl and no mixer! The fresh cherry buttercream is the delicious crowning glory!
Almond flour adds moisture and fine European flavor to this fabulous cake. Although it's a wonderful cake to make when cherries are in season, you can also use frozen cherries for the delicious pink buttercream.
Besides being ridiculously easy (one bowl, no mixer), this Funfetti Sheet Cake is also moist, tender, amazingly delicious and so FUN with a magical topping of sweet buttercream and lots of pretty sprinkles!
The inside of this cake is sure to make you smile with its whimsical kaleidoscope of multi-hued polka dots!
This strawberry-glazed Pink Velvet Cake tastes like the BEST wedding cake, delicately sweet, with a soft, tender crumb and a fabulous silky almond buttercream. Plus it's pretty as a (pink) picture! What's not to love?
So there you have it... think PINK this month and bake something super pretty and crazy delicious!
Thought for the day:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:13
