With spring here, you may be looking for light and fruity cakes to bake for all your spring celebrations. Easter, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day – these spring holidays are all cake worthy!
Plus, I feel like spring is unofficial cake season. Where everyone knows that Christmas is cookie season, Thanksgiving is pie season, I feel like spring gets to be cake season. I’m just always craving cakes in the spring and I want to add all the fresh berries onto light and fluffy cakes to enjoy for any old reason at all!
So, I’ve put together a roundup of 10 Simple Spring Cakes that will be perfect for any spring celebration! Check out my top 10 Simple Spring Cakes and welcome spring with a tender and fluffy cake topped with frosting and fresh fruit!
1. Traditional Butter Pound Cake
My Traditional Butter Pound Cake is the perfect spring cake. This little loaf cake is buttery, dense, sweet, and moist. It can be topped with simple powdered sugar or you can add fresh berries! Strawberries, blueberries, and cherries are all in season right now and they’d all be amazing toppings for this beautiful cake that is the perfect pairing with afternoon tea.
2. Orange Carrot Ginger Cake
My Orange Carrot Ginger Cake is an amazing spring cake. I add ginger and orange to a classic carrot cake that’s filled with cream cheese frosting for light and zesty carrot cake that you are sure to love!
3. Strawberry Donut Pound Cake
My Strawberry Donut Pound Cake is buttery, rich, and tastes just like a strawberry donut with sprinkles! This cake is made in a bundt pan so it looks just like a giant strawberry donut. I love this cake for spring as it is light and sweet. It makes a perfect cake for Sunday morning!
4. Honey Lemon Blueberry Snack Cake
My Honey Lemon Blueberry Snack Cake is a take on pineapple upside down cake, but I use blueberries and a light and zesty lemon cake. Instead turning it upside down, I leave the blueberries on the bottom for a delicious blueberry crust. And I add a honey lemon buttercream to the top with a drizzle of honey!
5. Strawberry Almond Cake
My Strawberry Almond Cake is light but robust. This simple cake is a fluffy and light sweet almond cake that’s filled with strawberry compote. I use the strawberry juice to naturally color the frosting and top this cake with fluffy pink roses for a spring cake that really speaks the season!

This moist strawberry carrot cake uses fresh strawberries in the cake for a sweeter take on carrot cake that has all the spring vibes.
