Nous avons créé ce que nous appelons « la liste des gâteaux à faire ». Chacun de ces 25 gâteaux classiques a quelque chose de spécial, et tous ne sont pas des gâteaux à étages (bonjour le moule Bundt, mon vieil ami). (Que vous commenciez par le simple
pound cake
du Sud, le bien-aimé Hummingbird Cake ou l’emblématique Lane Cake, il est temps d’en partager une part (ou deux). Ce sera la liste la plus savoureuse que vous ayez jamais dressée. Lisez la suite pour découvrir 25
gâteaux classiques que tout le monde devrait faire
au moins une fois.

Gâteau classique à la noix de coco

Nous ne pensons pas que nous aurions pu mettre plus de saveur de noix de coco dans ce gâteau si nous avions essayé. Il se compose d’une génoise à la noix de coco, d’une garniture à la noix de coco (faite de flocons de noix de coco congelés et d’extrait de noix de coco) et d’un glaçage à la crème fouettée moelleuse qui, vous l’aurez deviné, est aromatisé à la noix de coco.

Robby Lozano, styliste culinaire : Jennifer Wendorf
Un gâteau aux deux chocolats est une gâterie d’anniversaire classique pour tout amateur de chocolat. Nous préférons utiliser des paillettes arc-en-ciel pour la décoration, mais n’hésitez pas à utiliser d’autres garnitures comestibles, des fleurs aux bonbons colorés.

Gâteau renversé à l’ananas

This retro cake is a timeless dessert that we never get tired of making. That said, we have plenty of other upside-down cake flavors if pineapple isn’t your favorite fruit.

Italian Cream Cake

Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
This Southern staple is made with buttermilk, coconut, pecans, and cream cheese frosting. We aren’t quite sure how the cake got its name, but boy are we happy somebody came up with this delicious confection.

Berry Chantilly Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Berry_Chantilly_Cake_019-d851d1f97a184264b10a1f400d2ee66b.jpg)
Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox
The cream cheese and mascarpone frosting is the real star of this berry layer cake. You don’t have to pipe it into a gorgeous border like we do, but if you have the time and are up for filling a piping bag, it does make the cake look extra special.

Classic Southern Pound Cake

Skyler Burt; Prop Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine; Food Styling: Karen Rankin
Ah, these might be our favorite four words in a sequence. This recipe is the ultimate classic, and it should be baked right and baked often.

Blackberry Jam Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/2561101_regio_3146_1-2000-19c10a60351a44399e0aca3d89245b10.jpg)
Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Cindy Barr; Food Styling: Torie Cox
You won’t see this cake often, but it’s always there, waiting to steal the show if you just let it. Kentuckians lay claim to this spiced cake with homemade berry jam and nuts, just as much as the Derby or bourbon.

Mama’s German Chocolate Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/2008001_pecan036_0-2000-7b92db1e07744006a9e9077d14e4868e.jpg)
Southern Living
This cake is dressed to impress and deserves to be baked from scratch. German’s Sweet Chocolate sweetens its layers, but a rich frosting with chunks of pecans and flaked coconut is really the star of the recipe.

Lemon-and-Chocolate Doberge Cake

This cake is a New Orleans original typically made for special occasions—and this half-and-half version is a particular favorite. Expect six to nine layers of vanilla sponge cake sandwiched between a custard or creamy filling.

Sea Salt-Caramel Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/2546601_layer_1_1_0_0-2000-a16bcd42d13e4940a7e5787ed754cc11.jpg)
Greg DuPree; Prop Styling: Kay E. Clarke; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall
Caramel cake is about as classic as it gets in the South. You can try your hand at our more traditional Caramel Cake recipe, but we love how the sea salt perfectly complements sweet caramel in this variation.

Red Velvet Cake

Molly Bolton/Southern Living
Don’t be frightened. This crimson cake is not nearly as complicated as you imagine. (Down here, it became a national treasure after its appearance in 1989’s
Steel Magnolias
in the form of an armadillo-shaped groom’s cake.)

The Ultimate Carrot Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/2363901_saver_0014_sdw-2000-a1cb176e55f04891aebcd87a48311480.jpg)
Alison Miksch
It’s called « the ultimate » for a reason. Everyone should have this spiced, nut-studded cake—coated in cream cheese frosting—in their repertoire, and you can quote us on that.

Strawberry-Lemonade Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Strawberry_Lemonade_Cake_089-fb24671787db43f8ba6e231466639283.jpg)
This cake feels like a breath of fresh air. Tender lemony layers live in perfect harmony with strawberry-lemonade jam filling and strawberry frosting.

The Lane Cake

Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen
Here’s the deal with the Lane Cake: You might never eat this iconic Southern cake if you don’t make it yourself. It’s got a lot going on, but there’s a reason to every rhyme.

Triple-Chocolate Buttermilk Pound Cake
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/2341302_butte_054_0_1-2000-11ac0dad3fff4030bdb5b3a6dd3f5c88.jpg)
Alison Miksch
Two words: Triple Chocolate. That sums up this cake deliciously—and the two glazes just put it over the top. For any host, this cake will catch some eyes.

Homemade White Cake

Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling: Christina Lane; Food Styling: Torie Cox
The White Cake is as much part of
Southern Living
‘s history as anything, and we’re always trying to perfect the recipe. This particular version is beautiful in its simplicity, but it will always steal the show at Christmastime.

Texas Skillet Cake

Stephen DeVries, Prop Styling: Missie Neville Crawford; Food Styling: Torie Cox
We upped the ante on the Lone Star favorite Texas Sheet Cake by making it into a dense, fudgy skillet cake. Here’s why you should make this version: You can eat the cake straight out of the skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream.

Key Lime Pound Cake

Take your classic Southern pound cake to the beach! You’ll be serving up slices that capture the flavor of the Florida Keys with this citrus recipe.

Lemon Cheese Layer Cake

Don’t be deceived by the name—you won’t be getting a cheesecake out of this. You’ll be getting something even better. These citrusy cake layers are sandwiched with rich, buttery lemon curd. (In southeast Alabama, a few ladies are still famous for their towering 14-layer lemon-cheese cakes.)

Caramel Apple Cake

This might be the prettiest cake you’ll make all year. (And it requires only 20 minutes of hands-on prep time.) The fall-inspired cake is topped with sautéed apple slices and a to-die-for apple-brandy caramel sauce.

Praline-Cream Cheese King Cake

We don’t think making this cake should apply only to New Orleanians. These cream-filled treats are a
Mardi Gras tradition
everyone can enjoy, and this recipe makes two—so keep one and share the other.

Orange Chiffon Cake

In the cake world, this is the crème de la crème of all baker triumphs. The light, fluffy chiffon cake climbs high in the tube pan. No frosting needed. The cake’s flavor stands alone.

Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
We had no idea this cake would become our most popular and beloved Southern cake recipe ever when it was submitted in 1978. You aren’t really a Southerner until you’ve tasted its moist layers packed with pineapple, pecans, cinnamon, and bananas.

Heavenly Angel Food Cake

This cake is called heavenly for a reason. Airy and light and perfect for a variety of toppings and frostings, this cake can be made in a sheet or tube pan.

You may never reach for a boxed cake mix again with this easy classic in your recipe box. The timeless combination of yellow cake and chocolate frosting is a bucket list must that’s easy to whip up for birthdays, holidays, or any day.
