Like almost everywhere else in the world, Mexico has its fair share of sweet goodies on offer. If you think Mexican food is all about tacos and burritos, you are mistaken, because their candies, chocolates, sweet drinks, and Mexican cake recipes are wonderful too! One example of a popular Mexican cake is the Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake. This cake features Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, is easy to make and tastes like a slice of heaven! Mexican Kajeta Chocolate Cake is also gorgeous if you want to tantalize your taste buds.

If you crave for something lighter, Tres leches cake is perfect. Translated into English it means "cake of three milks." It is a butter cake that is soaked with three different types of milk; condensed, evaporated, and whole milk. Because the cake does not usually include butter in the milk, it contains a lot of air bubbles.

The top of the cake can have fruit such as raspberries to add extra flavor. This cake is common in many parts of Latin America. The origin is not surely known, but is thought to be between Nicaragua and Mexico, where the cakes were found the earliest. Tres leches cakes are great at parties and other special celebrations.

It is no secret that Mexicans love spices. Jalapeos and chilies are sometimes added to Mexican cakes containing chocolate. Rather than tasting strange like you might imagine, it gives the cake an interesting kick. The Mayas combined cocoa and chili for hundreds of years. Chocolate Jalapeo Cake, for example, has a spicy kick to it, because of the finely chopped jalapeos added to the recipe.

Another well-known Mexican cake is called Rosca. This cake makes an appearance between December and February. It is circular without a center, to represent the three kings' crown, and delicately flavored with citrus zest. Rosca has almonds in it too.

The cake is usually topped with colorful fruits and inside is a miniature baby Jesus doll. Whoever gets the doll in their slice of cake has to provide the Rosca for the next celebration. You can buy this cake from local bakeries or make your own.

If you do not want Mexican milk cake and it is not the occasion for Mexican wedding cakes, what about Mexican crepes or one of the other wonderful treats Mexican cuisine has to offer? These are often topped with Cajeta, a kind of caramel sauce, and toasted pecans. Sometimes other toppings are used on Mexican crepes as well, such as chocolate sauce, cinnamon, raspberries, or cream.

If you are having a party, try your hand at making a cake. You might want to make a Mexican cake with tropical fruits or a rich cake with cinnamon and other tasty spices. Whichever type of cakes you like, there will be a Mexican equivalent. Perhaps you would like to get some Mexican cocoa and use it in your Mexican cake recipe to give a truly authentic flavor. It is sure to disappear quickly once your guests find out how mouthwateringly delicious it is!
