 Delicious But Sinking Cakes March 14, 2010
BJD
I've only made 2 recipes from the book so far, the Nutella Swirl Pound Cake and the Apricot Jam Cake. Both were delicious BUT both sank seriously in the middle. We could only eat the perimeters because the centers were not cooked in both cases (even though a toothpick came out perfectly clean.) I originally got the Nutella Swirl pound cake recipe from Food & Wine and was inspired to buy the book because the picture looked so good. You might note that on the Food & Wine website MANY people reported the same problem with the sinking, uncooked center of the Nutella cake -- it's not just an anomaly. I've been baking for 50+ years and know what I'm doing and rarely have these types of problems. I will definitely make both cakes again, but will make some adjustments (for example, there was way too much batter for an 8 x 8 pan in the case of the Apricot Jam Cake -- will use 9 x 9 pan next time. In the case of the Nutella cake, will try to thin out the Nutella first, maybe by adding some of the batter to it to lighten it first before swirling in an attempt to keep the Nutella from sinking to the bottom.) I do look forward to making the other cakes in the book -- they all sound delicious!
 Super cakes for every day and for company February 18, 2010

This book is fantastic. The recipes and ingredients lists are well-organized -- skip to the section you want. The cakes come together quickly too. One reviewer was right - the snack cake section is great. I borrowed this book from my library - a practice I adopted after buying a couple disappointing books(waited three months on the waitlist!) and just had to have my own copy. I have prepared at least ten cakes out of this book to date, all well-received. The Sour-Cream Peanut Butter Cake was a huge Valentine's hit. Get it!!
Great cake recipes February 12, 2010
D. W. Hicks (Norman, Oklahoma)
I was an absolute beginner at baking cakes when I started with this book. I let the people at my job start choosing a cake for me to make, and when I brought them in they were very popular. I became something of a celebrity, so I think all the cakes in this book are excellent recipes. Five stars from all of my co-workers!
 Nice variety February 5, 2010
W. Z. Bloch (Northern VA)
This is a great book of cakes. There's a very nice variety and I couldn't wait to try one! I made the everyday yogurt cake and it was very easy and yummy. I can hardly wait to try some of the others and I think the cream of coconut cake with chocolate-coconut glaze is the next. It is calling to me.
Inspirational Cake Recipes February 2, 2010
I find that big cookbooks overwhelm me and usually end up on the shelf. This small book is approachable: 100 simple cake recipes, as advertised. They aren't overwhelmingly difficult nor do they require exotic ingredients. There is a nice balance of recipes, too.
The recipes are presented one to a page, with a full-color photograph on the right. The ingredients are listed in a sidebar that makes it easy to look down the list and check to make sure that you have all the ingredients. The steps are short and clearly written. So far I've tried the Chocolate Malted Snacking Cake. It was easy to make and tastes wonderful, even without icing.
