Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Michael's double chocolate angel food cake

    • hillsboroks on March 16, 2023

      This is my new favorite chocolate angel food cake. It has really rich chocolate flavor in a very moist but airy light cake. I played around with the flavor a bit and substituted 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to turn it into Mexican chocolate cake. The result was delicious. I baked it for 45 minutes and it was done perfectly.

  • Cinnamon swirl buttermilk pound cake

    • jay.moe on January 30, 2023

      The pound cake was moist and had a tender crumb, however the crust was thicker than I prefer. It was done 10 minutes before the time stated in the recipe. I used a 10 inch tube pan rather than a bundt pan which may have affected the bake time. The cake was overly sweet for my taste and the orange zest, which I measured, over powered the streusel swirl. The streusel needs to be doubled as it was a very skimpy layer and wasn't even noticeable while eating. This was an ok cake, but there are other recipes that I prefer.

  • Sour cream-blueberry crumb cake

    • carlythecook on November 02, 2023

      Quite a rich cake - due to the very buttery crumble. But delicious.

  • Chocolate Guinness cake

    • Prim on February 16, 2014

      Very good, but bake in a 10" pan.

  • Lemon lust cake

    • Jackiebf on January 21, 2024

      I wouldn’t make filling again. Instead just use the lemon curd between the two layers. I also wouldn’t split the layers.

Publishers Text

From the first time a child tastes a cake at his first birthday party, it becomes a central focus of all of life's milestones. From simple, frosted layer cakes to elaborate restaurant creations, this popular dessert has the power to bring people together and to evoke a feeling of celebration. Although our culture has been saturated with boxed mixes and supermarket sheet cakes for convenience, cooking a cake from scratch is only marginally more difficult - and delivers exponentially superior results.

In this book, Tish Boyle shares a wealth of information on cake-baking equipment, ingredients, and techniques, as well as troubleshooting advice and instructions for cake decor. Recipes are provided for every type of cake imaginable, including pound and coffee cakes, cheesecakes, angel food, fruit-based, flourless, meringue, mousse, and ice cream cakes, as well as fillings, frostings, and cake accompaniments. Each recipe is marked with a difficulty rating ranging from one diamond (simple) to four (advanced), and a comprehensive source listing helps readers locate the best baking equipment and ingredients.
