When it comes to comforting desserts that soothe the soul and warm the heart, cakes commonly evoke the fondest memories. In spring, when there are so many occasions to savor—Easter, bridal showers, weddings, Mother’s Day, and graduations—you can’t go wrong serving this favorite comfort-food for dessert. Here are some delicious Springtime takes on this dish that’ll put a smile on your face and melt away your stress.

Different Types of Spring Cakes

1. Carrot Cake

For maximum flavor and moistness, the best carrot cakes never skimp on the star ingredient—freshly grated carrots. This old-fashioned favorite combines the sweetness of carrots with the buttery crunch of walnuts and the sweet and tangy taste of cream cheese frosting. In many families, it’s the must-have dessert for every special occasion.

2. Opera Cream

An extra-rich twist on the classic French opera cake, an opera cream takes its inspiration from cream-filled chocolate bonbons. It sandwiches layers of chocolate sponge soaked in coffee-flavored liqueur between fillings of chocolate-flavored cream, covered with a shiny chocolate glaze. If you live in an area where a pastry chef has mastered this show-stopping dessert, order it whenever you crave a sweet, creamy, deeply satisfying piece of cake.

3. Chantilly Torte

Chantilly cream is whipped cream, usually sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla. Other ingredients may be folded into the cream to make it even more luxurious, such as melted white chocolate, a fruit puree, or both. This cream is used as a filling between layers of chiffon, a light and airy style of cake made with beaten egg whites, to make Chantilly Torte. The cream is commonly topped with fresh seasonal berries, making it both elegant and delicious.
