5 Light and Fluffy Cakes for Any Spring Occasion
There’s nothing like a spring cake at a party or get-together to really commemorate your time together! Of course, it’s wonderful to spend time with your loved ones, but cake just makes it that much better. Whether you have birthday parties coming up, family reunions, or celebrating the spring holidays any of these 5 light and fluffy cakes for any spring occasion will be the perfect addition!
I put together a similar list of the best spring cakes from scratch HERE, but I had to make this second list because there are just too many cakes I want to talk about! And it’s exciting to finally have the sun shining a bit brighter and the weather warming up, so let’s just make more cake to maximize all the goodness!
Spring Light Cake #1: Lemon Oreo Cake
The first spring cake I want to showcase is my Lemon Oreo Cake. This cake includes tender lemon Oreo cake layers, lemon Oreo cream cheese filling, and lemon buttercream. Is your mouth watering yet? You are going to fall in love with the whipped cream cheese filling especially! It is the perfect match to the lemon Oreos–or really any Oreo cookie!
Spring Light Cake #2: Strawberry Shortcake Cake
My Strawberry Shortcake Cake has tender and light vanilla cake layers, whipped cream filling, fresh strawberries, and strawberry buttercream. I think you’ll love this elevated recipe–even with the untraditional strawberry buttercream! This entire cake is pretty simple to make and a good recipe to try if you’re wanting to achieve that light texture and taste in a cake.
Spring Light Cake #3: Pink Velvet Cake with Raspberry Buttercream
This Pink Velvet Cake with Raspberry Buttercream would be a fun cake for a girls’ night, bridal, or baby shower! It comprises tender pink velvet cake layers, raspberry buttercream, and fresh raspberries. After a successful red velvet cake, I wanted to create another velvet cake, but with a twist. And that’s when this beautiful pink velvet cake was born. I use my vanilla cake as the base and add a few drops of pink food gel to get the perfect velvety pink color!
Spring Light Cake #4: Macadamia Nut Cream Cake
I had to include my Macadamia Nut Cream Cake on this list while the nuts are still in season! This cake is inspired by one of the tastiest treats I’ve ever sunk my teeth into–the macadamia cream-filled donut from Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu. If you’re ever there, you must go try it! So, to remember this amazing dessert, I created this cake. The macadamia nut cream is definitely the star of the show!
Spring Light Cake #5: Lemon KitKat Cake with Lemon White Chocolate Buttercream
My Lemon KitKat Cake with Lemon White Chocolate Buttercream is one of my newest recipes! And yes, the inspiration comes from the Lemon KitKat candy bars. When I was making this cake in the kitchen I had my kids taste test it and my son Westin immediately said he wanted this for his birthday cake! And his birthday cakes are a big deal around here, so that should tell you how amazing this cake tastes! It has a lemon white chocolate wafer cookie crunch filling that you’ll fall in love with more and more with every bite.
