I love to bake and my family loves even more to eat what I bake. Can there be a better choice that a cake cookbook to get my attention. Cake Keeper Cakes has been a special book at my household for the past two months. It was impossible to select just two or three cakes to sample and we ended up baking and eating six.

Who doesn't love cake? Well actually, there's probably quite a few people who don't love cake. But this book is for those people (like myself) who do love cake and you like to bake but either have very little time or you're not so flash in the kitchen.
The recipes in this book are designed to be quick and easy so that anyone can use them and anyone can make them. I found the instructions quite easy and straight-forward to follow. All of the ingredients are fairly obtainable too so More...

A delightful cookbook that focuses on cakes. A host of delicious recipes and, thankfully, plenty of pictures. It helps me to choose a recipe from a photo, so when cookbooks lack photographs I tend not to use them quite as much.
My favorites were:
Blackberry - Pecan Snack Cake
Fresh Strawberry Cake with White Chocolate Chips
Poppy Seed Cake
Sour Cream and Lemon Cake
Spiced Orange and Cranberry Snacking Cakes
Apple and Cheddar Cake
Cornmeal - Almond Cake

Only 2 stars because 2 of the 3 recipes I tried were a bust. Like, really, REALLY a bust. The Peanut Butter Cake w/Butterfinger Ganache looked superb (didn't get to taste it), but the Triple Choclate Cake crumbled at the slightest touch and the Applesauce Streusel didn't stay together. So, steer clear of those two for sure.
Update on this: I made and actually tried the Peanut Butter Cake (mentioned above) and it was pretty dry and not exciting. Looks great, but tastes so-so.

This is a great cake book- it is breezy, inspiring and pretty. Lauren Chattman hearkens back to a time when folks dropped by each others houses on the way home for a snack and a chat. These cakes are accessible and promise to be delicious. With most cakes keeping at least 3 days, this provides a year of cakes!

Nice, basic cakes. Easy enough for anyone to make and many nice enough for company.
