Single Serving Cake For Christmas!
And decorating cakes are fun for a few seconds but I don't want to spend hours doing it.
This is the answer you've been looking for because these single serving cakes are quick, use very little ingredients, and are so versatile to decorate. If you're not much of a cake decorator, just pour a glaze over the top or sprinkle it with powdered sugar and cinnamon!
Your cake pans are simple. You need 2 15oz cans, washed, and the label removed.
Contents at a Glance
fillings are: pineapple, cherry, orange marmalade and a lime marmalade mixed with a small amount of cream cheese. The cake is topped with whipped cream and sprinkles!

Christmas Spice Cake
A Cake Recipe
- Serves: 2
Cakes are baked in 2 tin cans (15oz each), washed, and labels removed.
Ingredients
- 3 tbls butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbls buttermilk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 nutmeg
- 1/8 cardamon
- 1/8 tsp ginger
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix everything together BUT not by hand. If you do not use a mixer, either a stand mixer or a stick mixer, the cake will be a nice sweetened biscuit. It can be cut in half, filled, and frosted, but the texture will not be cake, it will be a biscuit. You must get air into the batter.
Half the batter into each tin can and to avoid tipping, place the cans on a cookie sheet to bake. 30 minutes.
When they're done, the trick to turning a cake out of the pan is to place the pans on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Then, turn upside down and the cake will drop out without a problem. If you wait too long, the oils will harden and the cakes will not pop out cleanly. Wait 5 minutes, then flip them out.

Orange Rosemary Glaze Recipe
Perfect for Christmas Baking!
Oranges and Rosemary scream Christmas, don't they. And yes, I realize that those seem a little whacky together, but trust me.
I'm a little loose on the measurements because I like all of my flavors heavy and heady. My husband doesn't like things that are very different so when I'm making it for me--I slam the rosemary but go light on the sugar. When I make it for him, just the opposite. If you're unsure, start light and add more as it cooks until you get it exactly the way you like it.
Ingredients
- Juice of 1 orange
- few leaves of rosemary
- 2 tbls sugar
Instructions
Juice 1 orange into a microwave capable bowl. Add a few leaves (not sprigs) of rosemary. A little goes a long way and remember-dried herbs are stronger than fresh! Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and nuke it, stirring every 30 seconds for about 3 minutes. It should become thick and clear. Be advised that it hardens further as it cools.
Strain out the rosemary and pour over the top of your Christmas cakes!

- These look soooo good. I'm horrible at baking though, so I'll give it a try. If I can make them look that good, anybody can!
