Piece of Cake!: One-Bowl, No-Fuss, From-Scratch Cakes

One-bowl cakes are the forgotten gems in the world of home baking.

Many home bakers believe there are only two options for making cakes at home: 1) commercial cake mixes, or 2) complicated, multi-step recipes developed by professional chefs. But there''s another way: one-bowl cakes are all-natural, quick and easy to prepare.

They''re as much about what isn''t required as what is:

• you don''t need multiple bowls
• you will not need to cream the fat (e.g., butter, shortening or oil) with the sugar
• you will not need to separate the eggs
• you will not need to alternately add ingredients while simultaneously mixing
• you will not need to use cake flour or any other fancy flour
• you will not need to sift flour
• you do not need to own or use a heavy-duty stand mixer.

You''ll be able to create a multitude of cakes everyone loves to eat, from classic layer cakes and Bundt cakes to old-fashioned cakes and modern innovations. The ever-popular lay-flat concealed wire-o hardcover binding, with full color throughout, makes this book even more convenient.

In addition to the cake recipes, there are over 50 recipes for icings, glazes, syrups and sauces.
