If you want to stick with the retro theme, go for a 7-Up cake. This is a delightfully simple cake to make. It doesn't require a laundry list of ingredients, nor does it require you to have master baking skills. This is a great cake for any time of the year, but is especially great as part of a summer picnic or barbecue.
Have you ever tried making your own crumb cake? Crumb cake can be a light dessert, but it also works great as a sweet treat for breakfast. We recommend a banana oatmeal crumb cake. It's a great use of those bananas you won't be eating in time, especially if you're sick of plain old banana bread.
If you've never tried a caramel frosted cake, this is your sign to try one. Caramel frosted chocolate cake is sure to be a hit with everyone, especially kids and those with sweet teeth. It's not too hard to make, although it has the extra step of creating the caramel frosting. Try it for your next birthday party!
