Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

This bundt cake uses barley flour instead of wheat flour. Drizzled with chocolate icing, this is a delicious dessert to serve at your book club party for The Time Keeper.

This Mississippi Mud Cake is a pecan brownie topped with marshmallow creme and chocolate pecan icing.

Semolina Cake is a dense coconut-flavored snack cake made with semolina flour — the same flour used to make pasta. I decreased the sugar a bit from the original recipe and since I love cardamom, I increased that spice a bit as well. Semolina Cake is delicious served with hot tea or coffee.

Chocolate cake with white frosting has long been my favorite cake/frosting combination and Emerald’s Chocolate Cake suits my tastes with this wonderful marshmallow frosting. The cake is adapted from Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Cake recipe.

French Sponge Cake is made without butter. The result is a light and airy cake with a hint of almond and lemon flavor. This cake is best garnished with fresh fruit or berries with simple syrup, or fruit compote.

I love the rich flavor and moistness of this hurricane cake recipe. No icing needed on this cake!

This Mexican cake has the flavors of apricots and limes, frosted with a meringue icing.

This lemon pound cake is iced with a lemon glaze giving it a wonderful sun-kissed taste

Kransekage is assembled of rings in graduating size and placed one atop the other to form a cone-shaped marzipan confection. This traditional Scandinavian “wedding cake” is actually more chewy cookie than cake and is oftentimes decorated with little flags or the rings placed over a bottle of wine.

This frosting has a creamy texture and mild vanilla flavor and goes well with just about any cake or cupcake.
