Cake is the great unifier among desserts. Wherever you go, it’s likely you’ll find some kind of tasty cake. Whether you’re south of the border or over-seas, you can find cakes made from the most unique ingredients. Though yellow cakes with chocolate frosting have their place, they aren’t the only sweets with think of when we hear the word ‘cake’.

Even the term fruit cake doesn’t make us think of an unpopular holiday dessert anymore, thanks to one-of-a-kind cakes like Meredith’s Coconut Raspberry Cake with Almonds. It is a fruit based cake, with raspberries that go into the cake batter, but there’s also coconut. The warmth of the coconut complements the lightness of the berries nicely, and the cake is topped off with a vanilla cream cheese frosting and almonds. Though this is a two layer cake, you’ll certainly taste more than two flavors in every bite.

So you see, cakes are more than just sweet crumbly desserts covered with a buttery frosting. When it comes to finding the right one for you, follow Meredith’s lead. Meredith found inspiration in a cupcake recipe and made it her own by changing up the recipe here and there to create, what she calls on her blog Meredith’s Food for Life, a delicate cake.
