Vote for the Best Cake Recipe
Thank you to all who entered our cake recipe contest for October.
We want to give a warm shout out to our friend Katherine Martinelli who helped us test and photograph the cakes. There were so many good choices and so many holidays to bake cake for that we were happy to test. There was the Little Chocolate Cherry Cakes, the Marmalade Spiced Honey Cake, the German Plum Cake that gets a strong honorable mention and the two finalists, the Cinnamon Bun Cake by Nechama and the Red Grape Cake with Olive Oil by imarealtor.
While they were all great recipes with a few notes we put in the comments, these two are our finalists for originality and taste.
To vote, click on the recipe below and give the recipe a “thumbs up”. The recipe with the most thumbs up ratings by 9am on October 31st will win and the winner will be announced in the comments on this page.
Red Grape Cake with Olive Oil is the WINNER!!









Great cakes! So funny that I almost entered my grape cake with olive oil from Martha Stewart but decided against it. It is such a delicious cake! http://kitchen-tested.com/2011/03/29/olive-oil-cake-with-grapes/
I love cake with fruit, and sometimes have too many grapes, so I will vote for this one! the other looks too sweet.
I made the cinnamon bun cake for Shabbas and it was super delicious. I think that you might want to reproduce the recipe in a clearer fashion though as I made a few mistakes which I only realised in hindsight. Luckily, my errors in interpretation didn’t effect the cake’s taste and I am happy to say that it was half finished before Shabbat even came in!!
The Red Grape Cake with Olive Oil by imarealtor is the WINNER
