Everyday cakes, in plenty of forms

Dorie Greenspan’s collection brings together more than 100 cake recipes built around uncomplicated ingredients and occasions that need no special reason. The selection ranges from loaves and rounds to muffins, crumbles, Bundts, and savory cakes, with frostings, fillings, and other additions for those who want to dress things up. The publisher description also highlights practical advice and illustrations by Nancy Pappas. Its emphasis is on cakes that can be served simply, whether plain from the oven or finished with a dusting or drizzle—an approach that makes the book as much about flexible everyday baking as about desserts for a gathering.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home bakers seeking a broad collection of straightforward cake recipes.
  • Cooks interested in formats beyond conventional round cakes, including savory cakes and crumbles.
  • Bakers who appreciate recipe guidance and illustrations alongside recipes.

From beloved James Beard Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Dorie Greenspan--a vibrantly illustrated collection of recipes for simple yet most-memorable cakes

Over the years, Dorie has created thousands of excellent recipes. And out of all of them, the ones she always comes back to are the simplest cakes. Some may have a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing, but most of them are straight-from-the-oven cakes that are great as-is. They're cakes that you probably already have all the ingredients for in your pantry. They're the kinds of cakes you can whip up, put out and know that anyone with a hankering can come by and cut a sliver or a hunk. Any time.

With evocative writing, expert advice, and gorgeous illustrations by Nancy Pappas, Dorie's Anytime Cakes celebrates the simple--but still exciting and special--with more than 100 recipes for easy-to-make, easy-to-love cakes.

There are recipes for all kinds of cakes, including loaves and rounds, muffins, crumbles, and Bundts--even savory cakes--plus frostings, fillings, and other flourishes:

 

  • BFF Brownie Cake
  • Morning, Noon, and Night Thanksgiving Cake
  • Cafun
