Three Easy Semi-Homemade Cakes For Every Occasion

Tomorrow is my birthday and I thought what a better way to celebrate it by sharing my three easy semi-homemade cake recipes with you all. I always keep cake mix in my pantry for days that I’m craving for cake or when a neighbor reminds me that it's their birthday. Or when your mommy friend calls you for an impromptu wine play date. If you need a dessert for a special occasion, or are just looking for an excuse to make an awesome treat, these cakes deliver on both fronts. 

Enjoy!

Prepare your cake mix. In a saucepan mix 1 can of condensed milk, and 2 cups of any milk you like (I used almond and coconut milk) over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Remove cake from oven and allow it to cool slightly. Cut into squares maintaining it in the cake pan. Pour milk mixture over top of cake. Make sure to refrigerate if you are preparing it ahead.
