The holidays are peak cake season, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t provide you with a list of our favorite holiday cakes to make this year. From new, trending recipes to those family favorites you return to again and again, we have you covered. Your baking buddy this season? Duncan Hines®, of course.
Glazed Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Pumpkin spice may be the one of the biggest food trends to pop up—and stay up—over the last decade. And rightfully so! There’s just nothing quite like that aromatic spice blend paired with real pumpkin when it comes to channeling those cozy fall vibes. Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix adds a little extra flair with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Garnish it with a sweet pumpkin spice glaze and pecans for the perfect fall indulgence.
Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cake with Pecans
Combine the rich taste of Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix with chocolate chips, top it with cream cheese frosting, and add a festive final touch of perfectly placed pecans and you’ll have a new seasonal holiday cake go—to, from now ’til forever.
Peppermint Fudge Cake
Drippy, decadent, and delicious—this holiday cake does it all. Duncan Hines Classic Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake is flavored with peppermint, then layered with crushed peppermint candy, creamy buttercream frosting, and a luscious fudgy peppermint ganache. Does it get any more festive than this?
Salted Caramel Brownie Ice Cream Cake
OK, this one takes a little leg work, but it’s *so* worth it. It had us at “homemade salted caramel sauce,” but it doesn’t stop there: We’re also talkin’ chocolate ganache, crushed cookies, fudgy brownies, and, of course, a good whoosh of Reddi-wip®. Be warned: It’s irresistible.
Pumpkin Spice Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
A little more pumpkin spice bang for your buck?! Dive into this holiday cake recipe headfirst with aromatic spices and winter flavors that will fill your kitchen, your home, and your heart (and your taste buds!) with love. And with cake.
Champagne Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream
We saved (one of) the best for last. Special occasions call for bubbly—and now you can have your champagne and eat it, too! It’s the secret ingredient (along with Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix) in this super-fluffy cake, topped with a silky Swiss meringue buttercream. Let’s toast to the holiday season, one forkful at a time.
