Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Former pastry chef Chattman (Dessert Express) presents 100 simple recipes for unadorned cakes, organized as snacking cakes, round cakes, loaf cakes, bundt cakes, crumb cakes and other cakes baked in a springform pan, or angel food and chiffon cakes. Included are everyday baked treats (Lavender and Lemon Pound Cake) and kid favorites (Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake). Chattman briefly covers such baking basics as cake pans, common equipment, ingredients, greasing your pans, oven tips, cooling, and storing (yes, you should use a cake keeper!). A novel title for bakers and other jaded, seen-it-all cooks.

Read an Excerpt

There is a beautiful gourmet shop around the corner from my house where little cakes as well as breads, cheeses, and other enticing items are displayed under an array of antique glass domes. As soon as I saw those domes, I began to covet them. Last Mother's Day, my husband and children presented me with a beauty, and since then, it's been my mission to keep a simple but delicious cake on top of my counter at all times, displayed under this spectacular dome. My kitchen has never looked prettier or more inviting, and the family sweet tooth has never been more satisfied. I've also noticed a marked increase in the number of friends "just happening to be passing by," none of whom turn down a piece of the day's cake.

I used to keep a cookie jar stocked for these purposes, but the idea of always having a cake on display in my pretty cake keeper inspired me to change my routine. It also inspired this book, a collection of old-fashioned recipes, many with a modern twist, for cakes you can bake quickly and easily. As I worked my way through recipes for Citrus and Black Pepper Pound Cake, Neoclassic Gingerbread, and Dulce de Leche Coffee Cake, I realized that it was often quicker and easier to bake a cake than to bake a batch of cookies. These unfrosted, unfilled cakes had short ingredient lists and could often be mixed in just one bowl. Unlike cookies, which are baked in many carefully watched batches, a simple cake requires little attention once it is popped into the oven. I thought back to the good old days, before cake was relegated to special occasions, when recipes for plain cake were in every home baker's repertoire. Offering updated versions of old favorites (Peach-Buttermilk Upside-Down Cake, Blueberry Buckle) and innovative recipes developed to excite today's sophisticated but busy bakers (Apricot and Olive Oil Cake, Pistachio-Polenta Pound Cake), a collection of this kind would restore cake to its rightful place as too simple and delicious to reserve for birthdays and anniversaries.

After baking and eating cake every day for almost a year, I'm excited to share the results in Cake Keeper Cakes, a collection of 100 recipes for unadorned cakes, moist and luscious, but simple to make and keep on hand for everyday eating. I've tried hard to develop recipes in line with the way people cook today. Like many home cooks, I like to make everyday dinners interesting by including foods and flavors from around the world. I've included cakes I made to end a meal of pasta (Espresso-Hazelnut Bundt Cake), to match Thai chicken with basil (Pineapple and Toasted Coconut Cake), and to follow Moroccan lamb kebabs (Honey and Walnut Cake). Although the recipes in this book were designed to be simple enough to bake in the space between homework and dinnertime, many are interesting enough to present with a flourish at the end of a dinner party. Throughout, I offer suggestions for transforming plain cakes into impressive desserts. There is a quick recipe for blueberries in basil syrup that is wonderful with Sour Cream and Lemon Cake. Slices of homey Apple and Cheddar Cheese Cake can be garnished with dollops of maple-flavored whipped cream. Slices of Anise Pound Cake can be served with a dried fruit and brandy compote and small scoops of vanilla ice cream.

    Great cake book for all bakers

    I bought this for myself about a year ago and just ordered two as gifts - from simple flavors to complex and from 8 x 8 pan to chiffon, Lauren Chattman does a terrific job of compiling something for everyone.

    My new cake making bible

    This is my new go-to book for all things cake. The Yogurt Cake has become a staple in my house along with the other easy to make, delicious, everyday cakes. Other favorites - whole wheat carrot and sour cream chocolate. I only dropped it a star because when I attempted the pear cake with salted caramel sauce, I could have used some more guidance around the caramel... ack, hard lumped sugar. Will need to have another go!

    Simply stated "Cake Keeper Cakes" is a recipe book to be used over and over again!

    I first found a recipe from this book in Food and Wine Magazine.
    It was such a big hit with my family, and so easy to make that I decided to purchase
    the book.
    I am completely happy with the book and so is my family for all the wonderful cakes.
    I would recommend this book to anyone, from a beginner to a serious home baker.
