Aunt Sassy cake from Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented (page 165) by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • KCKB on January 15, 2022

    The honey vanilla buttercream frosting that accompanies this recipe is simply fabulous. Wonderful flavor and texture. I often make it for other cakes as well. ETA: I’ve learned that this is a type of “ermine frosting / buttercream”, i.e. a frosting made by starting with a roux and beating it with butter once it thickens and cools. Similar to ermine frosting recipes in Sarah Kieffer’s “100 Cookies” and Shauna Sever’s “Midwest Made”.
