While we believe in celebrating the father figures in our life 365 days a year, Father’s Day is a special time to celebrate the special men in our lives who make our world go round. We already know that Dad has the hot dogs, hamburgers and steak covered, so while he tends to the grill, you can focus on the best part of the meal: dessert. And we’re not just talking about any dessert.
Dad deserves best, and to us, that means cake. While the prospect of making a cake can feel daunting, there are so many options beyond a classic towering layer cake. Think: five-ingredient cakes that come together in one bowl, Bundt cakes, pound cakes and no-bake winners.
No matter your baking skills or time constraints, we’ve rounded up 35 of our favorite cakes that Dad is sure to love. For chocolate lovers, consider a classic Flourless Chocolate Cake, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake or Martha Stewart's decadent Mile High Salted-Caramel Chocolate Cake. Fruit lovers must try our summery Bourbon Pound Cake with Macerated Peaches, this impressive Lemon and Blackcurrant Stripe Cake or a Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream Cookie Cake.
If you’re looking for family-friendly options, we love the celebratory look of this Funfetti Pound Cake, Christina Tosi's Pancake Layer Cake and S'mores Ice Cream Cake. If the temperature is rising and you need something to cool Dad down with, try a Cookies-and-Cream Icebox Cake, Devil's Food Icebox Cake or Strawberry Ice Cream Cake. With a plethora of cake optio.
