Whether it's a tiered tower or a little loaf, cake is a wonderful way to celebrate someone. And this weekend, we're celebrating dads.
Maybe your dad was the one who brought you to school, taught you how to flip a pancake, or that life's okay if you lose a basketball game. Or he's the guy who told you ghost stories while camping or texts you silly jokes when you're blue. Maybe he's not even your dad at all, but a grandfather or uncle or mentor who always showed up. All sorts of men are worth celebrating.
Now, not all dads love cake. And not everyone who loves cake is a dad. But I'm willing to bet there's a healthy overlap between the two. Take a look through some of our very best recipes below. You're bound to find a favorite.
The simple, fruity, ricotta-laced cake that's launched a thousand ovens. No wonder it's our site's most popular cake recipe.

Yes, "World's Best" is a lofty claim from this towering cake — but it's got a pretty clever trick to create such puffy, golden layers.

8. Almond cake with orange-flower water syrup
Bake a cake that can do dinner or breakfast. (Psst — that's this one!)
9. Rye and rhubarb anytime cake
What started as improv transformed into a tart, warm cake you'll probably want at least two slices of.
10. The snake bite
Inspired by the bright-yet-complex snakebite cocktail — equal parts lager and cider — this cake combines a chocolatey stout cake with fermented pear cider frosting for an unforgettable dessert.
