Cakes + Cupcakes

Cakes and Cupcakes!!! What would celebrating be without cake and cupcake recipes. You don’t have to be scared to bake these recipes from scratch…I wouldn’t post them on The Cookie Rookie unless they were LEGIT easy enough for anyone to make. Everyone will love these decadent sweet treats!

I’m so excited to share these cakes and cupcakes with you. My favorite cupcake recipe in the world is Red Velvet Cupcakes. EVERYONE needs to try this recipe. Please just try it. You won’t regret it. And that icing? The BEST ICING EVER?! Um yeah…its ridiculous.

My favorite cake recipe?? Well that’s a hard one. I have a soft spot for Angel Food Cake (especially our easy version) and will always love anything chocolate, so this Brownie Cake is the bomb. I’m so excited for you to get to baking! If you’re really looking for something amazing, try our Texas Sheet Cake Skillet or No Bake Cheesecake. OH. YEAH.

To the right you’ll find our favorite cakes and cookies, and below you’ll find ALL of our attempts at easy baking. Come one come all!

Don’t forget you can always browse all of our recipes in the recipe box. xo
