Cake Mix Hummingbird Cake That Tastes Homemade

If you love rich, moist Southern desserts but don’t always have time to bake from scratch, this Cake Mix Hummingbird Cake needs to be in your recipe collection.

Inspired by the "Classic Hummingbird Cake" for its sweet bananas, crushed pineapple, and warm spices, this simple copycat cake mix shortcut without sacrificing flavor or texture.

I always make two 9-inch cakes and freeze one for another time; it's perfect for unexpected guests and elegant enough to serve when hosting a dinner party.

This semi-homemade recipe delivers all the nostalgic charm of the original with less prep time and fewer steps.

Whether you’re baking for a family gathering, potluck, or just craving something comforting and delicious, this cake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Sheet Pan French Toast

This easy Sheet Pan French Toast is baked in the oven, so every piece is done and ready to eat at the same time.

If you’re new to cooking and want something simple but really delicious, this sheet pan French toast is a great place to start.

Instead of standing at the stove flipping each slice one by one, you just put everything on a pan and let the oven do the work.

The bread turns out soft in the middle with slightly crispy edges, and it’s hard to mess up.

It’s perfect for busy mornings, weekends, or when you want to free up time to spend with a special someone.

Strawberry Glazed Pie

The first time I had a slice of Strawberry Pie was in a Florida diner, and I fell in love with it instantly!

The onset of Spring and seasonal berries always bring sunshine to the table with this dessert.

The season’s freshest flavors make this Strawberry Glazed Pie do exactly that.

Bright ripe red berries, a shiny thick glaze, complement each other to be perfectly balanced in sweetness.

This pie is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Whether you're hosting a brunch, planning a holiday gathering, or simply craving something light and fruity, this pie brings a refreshing, homemade, elegant touch to any table.

Best of all, it’s simple to prepare, making it a go-to recipe for both beginner bakers and seasoned pros alike.

Maraschino Cherry Cake

This maraschino cherry cake, which is all made from scratch, is a delicious, moist dessert cake, and we often bake this in a heart-shaped pan on Valentine's Day for that special someone.

To skip through all the tasks and ads, hit PRINT on the recipe card at the end, and all will go away! Thanks for understanding and for your patience.

The recipe is from the 1940s that my mom made, and since then, I have made this in her memory since 1999, when she passed away.

The cake is a white light cake made with just egg whites, cake flour (which I have included a DIY recipe for cake flour below), eggs, cherry juice, and maraschino jarred cherries.

Mom's homemade from-scratch recipe for this moist Maraschino Cherry Cake recipe is not only easy to make, but it is absolutely as delicious as it looks.

Anyone you make this for will not only be impressed with this pretty cherry cake but also fall for the fantastic creamy cherry-topped icing!

Mom would also add pecans to her recipe below; however, our family has excluded them due to the many food allergies, so I leave them out.

We have two frosting recipes below, one is a vintage buttercream cherry frosting, and the other is a 7-minute style frosting. The cake will make two 9-inch cakes; we usually make two and freeze one for another time.
