Cake Keeper Cakes is a Keeper!
The author used to keep cookies on hand for her family and guests who showed up unexpectedly. She has since realized that cakes are even easier to make - and just as well-received.I liked that the cakes are fairly easy to make (and fairly quick, since none are frosted). Glazes are suggested for some cakes, and the author suggests what to serve with some cakes to dress them up (fruit, ice cream, flavored whipped cream, etc).The ingredients should be in just about any grocery store with only a few exceptions (such as maple extract, coconut extract, fresh lavender leaves, and cream of coconut). Even better, most of the ingredients are likely in your cupboard and refrigerator on a daily basis so if you have only an hour's notice of a friend coming to visit, you'll have your choice of many cakes to whip up and serve warm.The author covers a wonderful variety of flavors (chocolate, vanilla, coconut, espresso, lemon, nuts, fruit, etc.) without focusing on...

100 Fabulous Cake Recipes
This is a gem of a cookbook. There are 100 simple recipes and I hope to bake my way through them all. I was particularly impressed with the snack cake section because that style of cake, in most general cookbooks, is often ignored or relegated to a couple of uninspired recipes. The beauty of the snack cake is the speed of preparation, the freedom -- its small size (8 x 8 inches) requires little commitment so many different recipes may be tried with abandon. Usually after two sittings the cake is gone, and, like a small batch of cookies, there is joy in filling the house with the scent of a fresh cake baking.I prepared two cakes from the book - the Chocolate Malted Snacking Cake and one of the bundt recipes -- the Applesauce Cake with Oatmeal Streusel. Both cakes baked perfectly and were absolutely delicious and distinctive. The Chocolate Malted snacking cake had the appropriate slightly coarser texture of a snack cake and the batter possessed a heavy scent of malt. Once...

It depends!
I love cake, have been baking many years, and was very excited when I discovered this book. So much so, that I purchased a couple of new pans with the intent of baking a new cake (or two!) a week. The book is well written and organized (despite a few editing glitches), and provides great information on the basics, as well as helpful tips (the same tried and true ones I've learned over the years).I never like to review a cookbook or craft book unless I've tried to make a few things first. I made several of the cakes (most recently the pear cake and the yogurt cake) and they came out just fine - as expected. However, the author's suggested ingredients of unbleached flour, and cornmeal for some, just didn't produce the kind of cake I personally like most. Out of curiosity, I tried at least one, substituting bleached flour, with similar results. I did find, however, that all tasted better a day or two after baking.The cakes rose just fine, etc., but have what...
