Title: Beautiful recipes
Review: I love to cook and bake, and I love the interesting flavor combinations and simple everyday recipes in this book. It’s unfussy for the home gourmet and includes beautiful traditional old world recipes you simply do not see anywhere else. A great starting point for new traditions and family favorites as my baby grows into my kitchen helper. I will likely purchase additional copies for foodie family members this holiday season.

Title: Bake a cake from this book!
Review: This book is full of cake-baking inspiration! The recipes are varied and clearly written, and very easy to follow. I think the organization by type of baking pan is really clever, and it is often how I decide what cake to make when. The photos are wonderful and very helpful as well. I've had the book a few weeks and have made two rhubarb cakes (quite different and each outstanding), and twice I've made the Summer Berry Buckle with different combinations of frozen and fresh berries. There are so many more cakes I plan to try! The tips throughout the book are useful - encouraging advice for new bakers, and interesting new directions for experienced bakers. We all benefit from these creative recipes and techniques! Many thanks to the author and the team responsible for the production of this fun and inspiring cookbook. Bake a cake today!!

Title: celebrating every day
Review: Cakes are traditionally how we celebrate big events, like birthdays and weddings and retirements. But there are also small moments every day that deserve a bite of something moist and delicious. At least, cookbook author and recipe developer Polina Chesnakova thinks so. So she has put together dozens of cake recipes that can elevate an every day moment to a celebration, and a celebration to a delicious memory.She’s divided her recipes into shapes, so all the loaf pan recipes are together, all the round cakes are together, all the Bundts are together. So no matter what kind of pan you have, she’s got you. And each section has a combination of casual treats and show stopping desserts. But even the cakes that are clearly for the big celebrations are broken down into simple directions, so beginners can be stretched but not overwhelmed. There are lots of tips throughout about ingredients and options, but let’s talk about what’s really important here—the recipes.For the Bundt and tube cakes, there are recipes for for a Rhubarb Buttermilk Bundt Cake, Mama’s Run Raisin Bundt Cake, Double-Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake, and Raspberry-Rose Angel Food Cake. The Sugared Jelly Doughnut Cake would be perfect to take to a brunch, and the Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Lemon Mascarpone Icing would be perfect for the holidays. But that Grapefruit Poppy Seed Cake with Hibiscus Glaze looks so beautiful with that pink glaze that it would be lovely for a shower, a birthday, or just to feel good from that floral and citrus scent. (I’m hungry just thinking about it. Can you tell?)The round cakes include classics like the Olive Oil Cake, Flourless Chocolate Cake with Port Cherries, Strawberries-and-Cream Cake, and Carrot Cake with Browned Butter-Cream Cheese Frosting. But there are also twists on what you might expect, like the Barely Baked Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, Turkish Coffee Crumb Cake, and Coconut-Lime Cream Cake with Fluffy Marshmallow Frosting. For something simple but special, there is the Apple Sharlotka, a Russian tea cake with slices of apples baked in. Or there is the perfect-for-any-occasion Yellow Birthday Cake with Whipped Malt Chocolate Buttercream.For square and rectangular cakes, there are the classics that are perfect to take to a big gathering, like Fudgy Devil’s Food Sheet Cake, Golden-Milk Tres Leches Cake, Confetti Cake with Strawberry Frosting, and Santina’s Tiramisu. Or if you want something a little different, there is a French Custard Cake, Salted Butterscotch Fudge Sheet Cake, or the Russian Napoleon Cake.And for your loaf cakes, there are lovely tea cakes like the Lemon-Lavender Yogurt Cake, Earl Grey Tea Cake, or Chocolate Sour Cream Cake. Or if you’re looking for something more creative, there is the Cannoli Ricotta Cake with Candied Pistachios, Marbled Matcha Pound Cake with Berry Compote, Parsnip and Cranberry Maple Cake, or Sticky Date and Ginger Cake with Coconut-Rum Sauce.Chesnakova includes recipes that are adapted from classics and favorites of legendary bakers and cookbooks along with her own creations, and there are flavors to please everyone. There are lots of beautiful photos to tempt readers into wanting to get out the mixer, and the instructions are clear, even for new bakers.I love the idea of cake as an everyday treat, so I was drawn to this cookbook as soon as I saw the cover. And I do love it. But I wish there were photos of all the cakes (there are for most, but there are a few missing). And with the wide variety of recipes, there are only a handful of chocolate cakes, and they’re all fairly straightforward. But this still has a lot of intriguing recipes that I would love to try. This is a good starter cookbook for newer bakers or as a wealth of ideas for a busy baker wanting some inspiration.Egalleys for Everyday Cake were provided by Sasquatch Press through NetGalley, with many thanks.

Title: LOVE Everyday Cake!
Review: This is such a lovely book... There isn't one recipe I don't want to make. I had to start somewhere and chose to make the Apricot Cornmeal Skillet Cake... it was super simple and DELICIOUS. I ended up using canned apricots so to ensure they were going to be ripe enough (turned out great). Filled with great advice and tips for really upping my baking game, I am feeling much more confident with my overall baking skills . I think this book will make a perfect hostess gift! Looking forward to making many more cakes thanks to Polina 🙂

Title: Amazing recipes
Review: I have been waiting for this book to come out for the longest time and it is finally here. Today I decided to make the Olive Oil Cake from the book and the recipe was extremely easy to follow. Polina’s tips are priceless and please do follow her tips and suggestions like this cake instruct you to rub the citrus zeste into the sugar before adding to the flour it really makes a huge difference in taste of the cake. Just a little extra step goes a long way. The cake is super moist and right amount of sweetness. I cannot wait to try out all the other recipes soon. Not to mention all the recipes have beautiful pictures to come with it and just that will entice you to go bake a cake!!! Highly recommend this book!!!

Title: Best Cake Book Ever!
Review: Absolutely love this book! It’s very rare to get a cook book that you want to make every recipe in it. So far I’ve only baked 5 cakes, but have enjoyed each of them and would make them again (I’ve made the chocolate loaf twice now). This book makes baking cakes weekly (or daily) easy and fun!!

Title: inventive modern takes on delicious cakes
Review: I have really been enjoying this book! It's beautiful and nicely organized. Each recipe has been easy to follow and (most importantly) delicious!!! So far, the golden-milk tres leches cake has blown me away! I also never knew a bundt cake could be so moist! The book also includes a lot of practical tips for novice bakers like myself. Thanks for sharing all these recipes...I can't wait to try them all!

Review: There is an excellent collection of delicious, easy to make cakes in this book. There is a good variety of choices too, not just made with the standard all purpose flour, but other grains as well. When you're craving a bit of cake, but don't want anything too complicated or time consuming, you can find what you want in this book. It's not a very big book, only 45 cake recipes in it, but the ones presented are excellent. I'm glad I bought it.
