Why make a cake for one?
Cakes for one make it possible to enjoy a homemade cake without committing to a full-size recipe. These small-batch cakes are designed around realistic portions while still giving you the soft crumb, familiar flavors, and special-dessert feeling of a traditional cake.
From rich chocolate and classic vanilla to carrot cake and a mini birthday cake, each recipe keeps the ingredient amounts manageable and the finished dessert small enough for one person to enjoy without days of leftovers.
