The countdown for Christmas has begun and everyone is in the merry spirit. It is the time to rejoice and celebrate with your near and dear ones.

Since the festival is just around the corner, here’s a list of a few delicious cakes you can whip up to share and enjoy with your loved ones.

Fruit cake: Christmas is incomplete without a plum cake or a dry fruit cake. Ready under an hour, this speciality is loaded with cashews, cherries, dates and other dried fruits and is scrumptious to say the least.

Almond cake: If you don’t like raisins or the taste of plum cake, you should definitely give almond cake a try. Super easy to prepare, this dessert is gluten-free as it uses almond flour.

Carrot cake: Carrot-based desserts in winter hit different and there is no denying that. And a wonderful, moist, perfectly-spiced carrot cake with cream cheese icing will make you swoon, for sure.

Banana walnut cake: A thick slice of a soft banana cake sprinkled with walnuts for extra crunch will transport you into food heaven, we bet. A perfect dessert paired with coffee or tea, this cake will surely leave your guests asking for more.

Vanilla sponge cake: If you are someone who likes plain cakes, without any dry fruits, nuts or chocolate, vanilla sponge cake is just for you. It might not have any toppings but it is simply delectable and is ready under 30 minutes.
