I won’t spoil the surprise, so be prepared for all these recipes shared to have you run straight to the store to grab the ingredients before your guests arrive. So get ready to celebrate the best parts of the holiday season with these delicious Christmas cake recipes!

1. Apple dump cake

Food Blogger: Meiko and the Dish

Why we chose it: Her bright and airy food photography sends the message that anyone can make this cake with just some simple ingredients. Get this, she used a Betty Crocker spice cake mix paired with apples, apple pie spice, and more to bring this dump cake to the next level.

The apple dump cake is the perfect cake to get you in the holiday spirit without allowing chaos to take over your kitchen.

Crave-worthy ingredient: The apples of course. A spice cake is truly appreciated with the added flavor of apples. Its aromatic spices make it an easy choice for the holiday season.

2. Red velvet cake swirl cheese with white chocolate

Food Blogger: Razzle Dazzle Life

Why we chose it: Bringing the holiday cake literally to the next level, this cake is a show-stopper. It’s not only aesthetically pleasing with its swirl design, but also packed with flavors that only cheesecake lovers can appreciate.

It’s a cake that won’t make it too long on the dessert table before being devoured. This is a bake cheesecake recipe but it’ll be worth the wait especially for those who take the time to make the beautiful swirl designs.

Crave-worthy ingredient: Red velvet. When it hits the roof of your mouth, cheesecake takes little time before melting away into a velvety, creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the red velvet cake layer. And let’s not forget about the white chocolate drizzle on top. It brings it all together in a beautiful harmony of flavors and textures.

3. Four layer double fudge chocolate cake

Why we chose it: You know why we chose it. Who says this wonderful cake filled with chocolate goodness isn’t fit for a holiday celebration?

The cake layers are moist and decadent,but yet the buttercream is what brings it all together. It’s the combination of chocolate cake and fudge that’ll have your guests wanting seconds, thirds, and ending the night asking for to-go boxes.

Crave-worthy ingredient: The Swiss meringue buttercream. It’s quite possibly the prettiest mocha colored buttercream to top off a cake. The meringue adds a lightness and fluffiness that cuts through the chocolate fudge layers in the best way possible. With ingredients like cocoa powder, and semi-sweet chocolate, this is the perfect dessert for the chocolate lovers.

4. Peppermint layered cake

Food Blogger: A Classic Twist

Why we chose it: As the blogger states, this cake will leave you pleasantly surprised. If candy canes were a cake, it’d be this one.

The cake layers are moist and fluffy, with a surprise peppermint center that’ll leave your taste buds tingling. And to think your sweet tooth couldn’t get any more satisfied, the cake is topped off with peppermint buttercream and crushed candy canes.

Crave-worthy ingredient: This delicious white Christmas cake paired with the crunchiness from the crushed candy canes will have you wanting to make this cake every winter season. If the North Pole was real, we’re sure even Santa would love a slice of this cake.

5. Gingerbread pound cake with cream cheese frosting

Food Blogger: Britney Breaks Bread

Why we chose it: If there ever was a category for the most festive cake, this gingerbread pound cake would definitely be a contender. The cake layers are moist and buttery and have the perfect balance of spices to bring out the gingerbread flavor. Plating this on a cake stand or at the dinner table alone would send your guests into a holiday frenzy

Crave-worthy ingredient: The gingerbread theme. This cake would not be as big of a hit during the holiday’s without it. The festive touch is taken up a notch garnished with caramel and cranberries placed in the center, giving this cake an extra delicious touch.

6. Blood orange ricota cake

Food Blogger: Sweet Sorrel

Why we chose it: Think fruit cake but better. The citrusy flavors from the blood orange pairs perfectly with the richness of ricotta cheese in the cake layers, making it a unique but tasty festive Christmas cake. Similar to a cornmeal cake, the cake has a pudding texture with bursts of orange flavors in every bite.

Crave-worthy ingredient: The juice and zest of blood oranges. The cake layers are moist and the orange peel bring a tartness to balance out the richness of the ricotta cheese.

7. Carrot cake cinnamon rolls

Food Blogger: Mike Bakes NYC

Why we chose it: The perfect combination of two classic holiday treats – carrot cake and cinnamon rolls. The cake layers are moist and fluffy, made with traditional ingredients like carrots and nuts. The blogger emphasizes on using all purpose flour leading to a soft and tender fluffy cake roll.

Crave-worthy ingredient: The cream cheese frosting. It’s the perfect companion for these cake rolls, adding an extra richness and creaminess that complements the spices from the cake. Top it off with some chopped nuts for added texture and to make it Insta-worthy.

8. Upside-down maple pear spiced cake

Food Blogger: A Classic Twist

Why we chose it: The delicious cake batter spread over sliced pears and topped with a maple glaze makes for the perfect autumn twist on the classic upside-down cake. The cake layers are moist and fluffy and the combination of sweet pears, spicy cinnamon, and rich maple syrup adds depth to every bite.

Crave-worthy ingredient: It’s a tie with this one because pear is just as crave-worthy as the maple glaze. The combination of flavors and textures in this cake make it a standout during the holiday season.

9. Sweet potato cake with pecan frosting

Why we chose it: Sweet potato anything is a must during the fall and winter seasons and this cake is no exception. The cake layers are moist and fluffy, made with cooked mashed sweet potatoes.

And if you’re weary about how to ensure your cake is moist, the blogger has a section dedicated to helping you achieve cake success. To top it off, the pecan frosting adds a creamy and nutty finish to this cozy dessert.

Crave-worthy ingredient: Pecan frosting. The nutty flavor from the pecans pairs perfectly with the sweet potatoes in the cake. And the added crunch from chopped pecans as a garnish brings an extra touch of texture to this festive moist cake.
