1 Batter-50 Cakes: Baking to Fit Your Every Occasion

Maybe you are just starting to put your cookbook library together and you are overwhelmed by all the cake cookbooks. Or maybe, like me, you want to see what batter could make 50 different cakes. I recommend this small volume to you. M's Greifenstein goes all the way back to basics in this book. She carefully explains exactly what ingredients you need to make the cakes. She also gives examples of the pans that are mentioned in the book. This way you don't have to worry if you got a springform pan because you can check what you have on hand with the photographs. The cakes start with a basic oil cake recipe then M's Greifenstein adds the details to make the cakes unique - blood oranges, pears, nuts or chocolate, there is something here for anybody's taste in cakes. The recipes are easy to follow and taste great. I recommend this book to any cook who wants to experiment with making different types of cake with one easy recipe. That's the key to the whole book - you don't have to buy some fancy flour or baking powder, you can just use the regular ingredients you have around your house. That makes the book accessible to anyone. As I have said, I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to broaden their cake baking. You won't be disappointed.
