• May 2022 Bake Club Challenge
  by Rebecca Blackwell

  Bake something fun, share it with the world, and you could win $50 Amazon gift card!

  Thank you for all of you who participated in the April Bake Club Challenge and baked Bananas Foster Butter Cake!

  The April Bake Club Winner is Jill from Arizona! Congratulations, Jill!

  The May, 2022 Bake Club Challenge Recipe is:

  White Forest Cake!

  

  This White Forest Cake is one of the most soft and creamy cakes I've ever made. Just like Black Forest Cake, it's a sloppy, saucy cake that might be better suited to a bowl and spoon than a plate and fork. 

  The white chocolate cake is moist, tender, buttery, and laced with the subtle flavor of white chocolate and vanilla. The layers are soaked in amaretto liquor before being stacked together with a thick layer of cherry sauce in the middle.

  The cherry filling for this cake is a slightly thicker, amaretto spiked version of my favorite Cherry Sauce Recipe.

  The whole thing is covered in White Chocolate Ganache Buttercream, which tastes exactly like the inside of a really good white chocolate truffle. It's impossibly rich, and so smooth and satiny that it literally melts on your tongue.

  The May Bake Club Prize!

  A $50 Amazon Gift Card. Since starting the Bake Club in April of 2019, I've offered a specific prize ever month, something like a cake stand or decorator kit.

  But, it occurs to me that many of you might rather have a gift card so you can spend it on whatever you like. So, this month, and every month following, the prize will be an Amazon gift card.
