Welcome to our growing collection of cake recipes and posts. You can find a new cake recipe to try, learn about the differences between baking powder and baking soda, discover how to create your own homemade cake flour, and even learn why pound cake is called pound cake. We’ll be adding new recipes to this collection as they are published, so be sure to check back soon!
Our farmhouse and our recipes are nut free. Food allergies became a part of our lives more than a decade ago, so you won’t find any peanuts or tree nuts in our recipes. If you don’t live with nut allergies, you can add or substitute your favorite nuts in our recipes with equally delicious results!
You can view all of our updated recipes in our Recipe Index.
