8 Vintage Summer Cakes You Need to Try

Pineapple Pudding Cake

This is a simple pineapple sunshine cake that my mother used to love to make in the summer. It never lasts very long since it's so nice and pleasant.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese

During our family get-togethers and picnics, my banana cake with cream cheese icing is a favorite among the loved ones.

Coconut Chiffon Cake

This towering cake is made even more visually appealing with toasted coconut. With a delicious coconut-ginger taste and a light texture, it's a great way to cap any meal.

Lemon Sheet Cake

Convenient cake mix gets a citrus boost from lemon pie filling, and sweetness comes from creamy cream cheese icing. I cut this lemon sheet cake into pieces.

Strawberry-Rhubarb

When fresh rhubarb is in season, which is late spring or early summer, I make this vibrant dessert often. I use a cake mix to create this rhubarb cake, which I bring to church potlucks.

Pineapple Carrot Cake

I've never had a better cake than this delicious cake with cream cheese icing. It's also quite easy since it calls for two jars of baby food rather than shredded fresh carrots.

Caribbean Coconut Rum Cake

This delicious cake has a punch of rum, and is my version of those drunken sweets that bulk up luggage coming back from Jamaica.

Mamaw Emily's Strawberry Cake

My spouse cherished the strawberry cake recipe his mother had. He believed it was impossible to replicate. It's just as delicious as he recalls, and I cooked it.
