Yum Yum Sheet Cake

You Need to Try This Classic Yum Yum Cake Recipe

Yum Yum cake is a retro sheet cake made with a few simple ingredients, yet it tastes completely homemade. This cake has been showing up at potlucks, church socials, and backyard barbecues for decades, always with an empty plate at the end. Everyone loves Yum Yum cake! The name may sound a little odd, but once you try this decadent dessert you'll see why it's stood the test of time.

Other Great Cakes to Try

There are so many amazing types of cakes out there. How can you possibly know which one to try next? Not to mention figuring out if you have the baking skill to tackle some of the harder cakes. Fear not; we have some great suggestions here for you to try next.

If you want to stick with the retro theme, go for a 7-Up cake. This is a delightfully simple cake to make. It doesn't require a laundry list of ingredients, nor does it require you to have master baking skills. This is a great cake for any time of the year, but is especially great as part of a summer picnic or barbecue.

Have you ever tried making your own crumb cake? Crumb cake can be a light dessert, but it also works great as a sweet treat for breakfast. We recommend a banana oatmeal crumb cake. It's a great use of those bananas you won't be eating in time, especially if you're sick of plain old banana bread.

If you've never tried a caramel frosted cake, this is your sign to try one. Caramel frosted chocolate cake is sure to be a hit with everyone, especially kids and those with sweet teeth. It's not too hard to make, although it has the extra step of creating the caramel frosting. Try it for your next birthday party!
