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 colour throughout, makes this book even more convenient. In addition to the cake recipes, there are over 50 recipes for icings, glazes, syrups and sauces. ILLUSTRATIONS: Colour throughout *
