Bake this classic all the way through for a light and tender crumb, or cut the bake time short for serious gooey goodness in the center. The sweet, crunchy streusel—which would also be divine on

Ronni Lundy’s Apple Stack Cake is a labor of love that’s so worth it. This cake is best when « cured » for two or three days. After making the cake, simply wrap it in cheesecloth and plastic wrap, then store it in a cool, dark place (that’s not your fridge) for two to three days.

A package of

pound cake

mix is the secret convenience ingredient in this simple cake. Beat the mix along with milk, eggs, and almond extract with an electric mixer on low for two minutes.

Persimmon Cake

Persimmon Cake


Greg Dupree; Food Styling: Emily Hall; Prop Styling: Heather Chadduck Hillegas

Persimmons are native to China, and are typically used in Asian cooking. This recipe is surprisingly easy to execute—the cake batter can be completely stirred together by hand in one bowl. Southerners love our spice cakes, especially in the fall and around Christmastime, and this moist cake maintains a nice spice level from the cinnamon.
