Cherry Bakewell Cake

Apricot Upside-down Cake

Upside-down cake is a great way to spend all the summer apricots you bought (or picked). The baking process caramelizes the apricot slices, giving them unique sweetness and flavor. The ingredients are simple, but you can add cinnamon powder for an extra twist.

Simple Peach Pavlova

If you cook something that requires a lot of yolks, use the leftover egg whites to make a pavlova. This summer pavlova uses refreshing peach slices. The moist meringue and juicy peach create a great combination. Eat immediately to prevent the toppings from ruining the meringue.

Keto-friendly Angel Food Cake

Keto-friendly cake recipes often result in a dense or rough cake. However, this recipe results in a moist, gluten-free, and dairy-free cake. While it still uses eggs and sugar, you can make this cake for a nice dessert during a keto diet. Top it with whipped cream and fresh fruits.

Lemon and Raspberry Cake

This cake has lemon curd filling and raspberry buttercream frosting. The color is pretty, and the flavor combination is great. Adding fresh raspberries in the lemon curd gives extra textures and flavor in every slice. Make extra buttercream for extra touches such as creating an even surface or making swirls.

Lemon-Blueberry Bundt Cake

If you only have boxed cake, mix it with extra ingredients to create the fancy cake version. This recipe uses a lemon-flavored cake box mixture. Adding eggs, fresh blueberries, and vanilla pudding improve the cake flavor and texture. Frosting and fresh fruit toppings make the cake look more mouth-watering.

Lemon and Zucchini Cake

This cake recipe is the perfect way to use all your summer produces. The zucchini creates “green bits” in the cake batter, but they improve the aesthetic. The cake is a bit dense because of the mixture, but it still tastes moist. Be careful if you want to use different sweetener products, since adding honey instead of castor sugar ruins the texture.

Summer cake recipes give you delicious desserts and treats during the sunny days. Use summer products like colorful fruits and even vegetables to create delightful cakes, tarts, and bread.
