Birthday Cake Recipes Approved By Me!

These birthdays keep coming around. I will be celebrating mine tomorrow, and I take my birthday cake seriously. This year I was planning on making my own, until I had a surprise delivery of a frozen Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Cheesecake today. Many thanks to my sweet cake fairy. Enjoy this recipe roundup of celebration worthy cakes.

Fudgy Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pretzel Cake

When it comes to my favorite delicious duo, it has to be chocolate and peanut butter. Always. This recipe features a pretzel crust, chocolate ice cream, a jar of creamy peanut butter, and homemade fudge. There's no baking involved.This recipe will be made soon.

Half Baked Harvest

Oreo Cake

Say what? Doesn't this look amazing? Oreos have been baked right into the cake! And the vanilla buttercream frosting is said to taste just like Oreo filling. Who wouldn't love this on their birthday?

Sugar Geek Show

Red Velvet Cake

This recipe produces a velvety cake that is soft and tender. It pairs will with the fluffy sweet and tangy frosting. Said to be incredibly easy to make. My future son-in-law would be so happy if I chose this recipe.

Preppy Kitchen

Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake

Chocolate Mousse is one of my top five favorite foods. A touch of espresso powder and hot coffee really deepens the flavor profile of this luxe layer cake.

Sally's Baking Addiction

Coconut Layer Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream

This recipe had me at Swiss Buttercream. My mother used it on her coconut cakes. The frosting calls for 5 1/2 sticks of butter! Don't bother looking at the calorie count.

My Three Seasons

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cake
This one has my name all over it. An unexpected ingredient is Nutella, which is added to the Buttercream frosting. 

Whipped Up Whimsy

Hummingbird Cake
This cake is just so beautiful. I had to include it in the recipe roundup. The author says it best " This cake is made up of gluten free cinnamon and banana cake layers that are studded with bits of pineapple. A lavender scented Swiss Meringue Buttercream envelops it all in buttery clouds of fluffy meringue frosting." WOW!

The Kitchen McCabe

Flourless Chocolate Mousse Torte

Without flour, I would say this is gluten free, but it doesn't say. Said to be decadent, and it sure does look it. Lots of steps but well worth the time.

The Kitchen McCabe

Martha Stewart's Lemon Mousse Cake

I am usually most attracted to any kind of chocolate cake, unless it is lemon. Every lemon cake I have ever had has been fabulous! I bet that Martha doesn't disappoint us. Enjoy this excellent tutorial video and recipe.

Martha Stewart

Chocolate Coconut Raspberry Cake

Vegan and Gluten Free

This cake certainly is gorgeous enough to be celebration worthy. The fact that it is gluten free, makes it even better. And that fluffy frosting and dripped ganache makes this one over the top recipe.

Heather Christo

No Bake Banana Cream Cheesecake

An easy recipe that looks old school delicious! And that crust? Mmmmm!

Shugary Sweets

German Chocolate Cake

I miss making this for my father-in-law's birthday. I must say, this cake does look better than mine. Loving the ratio of cake to icing. It's just right.

Southern Living

Caramel Italian Cream Cake
This is a classic Southern layer cake that my southern mom always made for the birthday of "Mr. Shop This." Not only is it pretty, but it easy to make. There is a quick caramel frosting between the layers and a cream cheese frosting over the entire cake.

Southern Living

Coconut Carrot Cake with Jam Swirled Buttercream

There's 3 layers of light and fluffy cake swirled with coconut, carrots, and hints of cinnamon. Each layer is then topped with a berry jam buttercream.

Half Baked Harvest

Baked Alaska Birthday Cake
Okay, so this is my ultimate birthday cake. I haven't had it in years, but I do love it. I would make this, but I don't have a pastry torch. Mmmm!
