As the baker in the family, I always look forward to special occasions like Mother’s Day to whip up something tasty. But when it comes to cakes, I don’t need an occasion. But sometimes, finding the perfect recipe to fit the celebration is tricky. So, I scoured the internet to bring you the best Mother’s Day cakes, from myself and my fellow bakers, that you can try out this year. Bake love in these sweet treats this year, and thank me later.
Coconut Cream Gingham Cake
With fresh spring flavors, this coconut cream gingham cake is perfect for your Mother’s Day table. It has a gorgeous checkered pattern in vibrant green, making it an eye-catching centerpiece on any table. Check out the full recipe.
Eggless Strawberry Cake
This eggless strawberry cake with luscious cream cheese and butter frosting has two loaves of buttery, crumbly cake. It uses over one pound of fresh strawberries, about one pound of butter, and 3.5 ounces of cream cheese. Since I don’t like my cakes to be too sweet, the sugar amount is considerably low compared to other versions, but ingredients can be adjusted to make it sweeter and with eggs. Here is the full recipe.
Red Velvet Cake
This one comes from my favorite baker, John Kanell of Preppy Kitchen. His red velvet cake is soft, tender, moist, and slathered with tangy and sweet cream cheese frosting. Its velvety texture and fluffy frosting are perfect for a summer dessert. Here is the full recipe.
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Another one of my favorite bakers, Sally’s flourless chocolate cake, is simply a marvelous addition to any dinner table. The recipe is perfect for a gathering with people with dietary restrictions. The gluten-free chocolate cake comes out of the oven rich, moist, and fudge-like, while the mocha whipped cream makes it even more indulgent. Here is the full recipe.
Blueberry-Lemon Loaf Cake
If you want a quick loaf cake for Mother’s Day, this blueberry-lemon version brings seasonal flavors to the table. Easy to assemble, the cake comes together quickly and is ready to serve in no time. You can decorate it with edible spring flowers and a quick lemon sugar glazing. Here is the full recipe.

Boasting three layers of incredibly moist, tender devil’s food cake slathered with a lush chocolate pudding and a dark chocolate ganache-style frosting. The Brooklyn Blackout cake will quickly become a favorite in your house. Check out the full recipe.
Vanilla Cake
I don’t understand how vanilla got labelled as mellow. This is a flavor that is not only amazing on its own but also enhances every other one on the board. If you don’t believe me, try John’s classic vanilla cake with a flavorful, moist, and tender crumb. Here is the full recipe.
Eggless Mango Cake
If you are looking for another eggless cake recipe, try my mango cake. I made the frosting from homemade cream cheese and mango puree. You can use store-bought cream cheese and add eggs if that’s what you want. The cake is moist, soft, and crumbly. Here is the full recipe.
