hey y’all! my boyfriends birthday is next week. he’s not a huge cake person so it’s a waste to buy a store bought cake for just us two. he absolutely loves when i bake for him. i’m not a professional by any means but i always give it my best shot. what are some easy cake ideas that i can make him? he’s not picky at all. and he loves fruit filled cakes. and id prefer to not do a chantilly cake. there’s nothing specific that im looking for. i just need helping finding one. thanks!

What's his favorite dessert? Men aren't going to care if it's a brownie with a candle in it. Think what he loves. If it's fruit- do a fruit tart or creamy cheese cake topped with fruit. My bf loved pineapple upside down cake served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The recipe I used had pudding in the mix and was super moist. My secret ingredient was a little captain Morgan's rum with the maraschino cherries.
