6 Cheery Cakes for Your Next Christmas Party

.

There isn't a food more festive than cake. Even in its simplest form, just plain and simply frosted, a cake is often a thing of joy, meant to celebrate something exciting and cheerful. Since Christmas is the season of joy, it would only make sense to celebrate it with none other than a big slice of cake!

 

Maybe these recipes will inspire you to make your very own celebratory Christmas cakes, this holiday season:

 

 

Sticky Toffee Pudding

While not strictly a layer cake, a sticky toffee pudding still features a cakey base, just oozing with sweet toffee and chock full of caramel-y dates. Serve warm, with a nice cup of hot tsokolate. 

Honeycomb Crunch Cake

The crunchy homemade honeycomb atop this fluffy cake adds loads of visual drama, and is sure to impress at your holiday get-togethers.

 

Mango Upside Down Cake

Think of this as Christmas in the tropics! Sweet mangoes add a bit of sunshine to a lush Christmas dinner spread.

Yema Chiffon Cake

If you're going to indulge this Christmas, you might as well go all out. This sweet treat literally overflows with rich, eggy yema between its layers of pillowy chiffon cake.

Red Velvet Cupcake Trifles with Cream Cheese Frosting

Party-goers will love getting their own personal jars filled with Red Velvet Cake and creamy cream cheese frosting. It doesn't hurt that the colors are super Christmas-y too!

Lemon Layer Cake with Whipped Cream

If you find traditional holiday treats a bit heavy (we're looking at you, fruit cake) this light and airy cake a terrific, lighter alternative.
