Cakes Cookbooks and Recipes
Cakes are a type of food, usually sweet and eaten as a dessert, and particularly popular on
special occasions such as
birthdays,
Christmas,
or weddings.
The ingredients for different
types of cakes do vary widely, but in most cases the ingredients include flour, sugar or another
sweetener, egg or another binding agent, a fat substance such as butter, liquid (most often water or milk),
and yeast or baking powder which is used to make the cake rice. Additionally, cakes are often decorated
with some combination of buttercream, icing sugar, marzipan, and so forth.
Here are some popular types of cakes:
- Schwarzwälder kirschtorte - This is a German recipe.
It is a cake made from layers of chocolate cake, with whipped cream and cherries between each of the layers.
The cake is then decorated with more whipped cream, maraschino cherries and chocolate shavings.
In Germany, kirschwasser
(a clear brandy made from cherries) is traditionally used as an ingredient when making the cake,
but in many other countries this is either substituted
(for example, with rum in Austria),
or simply omitted entirely.
In other countries, Schwarzwälder kirschtorte goes by other names -
in the United Kingdom, it is
known as quot;Black Forest gateau",
and in most other English-speaking countries (including
the United States,
Canada and
Australia),
it is known as "Black Forest cake".
- Stollen - This is another a
German recipe.
It is bread-like fruitcake containing citrus peel, dried fruit, almonds and spices.
Stollen is particularly popular during the
Christmas period.
- Bossche bol - This is a Dutch recipe for a cake ball filled with cream and coated with chocolate.
- Dobos torta - This is probably Hungarian cuisine's most
famous cake. It was invented by the Hungarian confectioner, József C. Dobos,
and is a layered sponge cake, covered with chocolate, caramel and nuts.
- Garash - This is a walnut cake found in Bulgarian cuisine.
The cake is frosted with cream and bitter chocolate, then covered with chocolate icing.
- Lamingtons
- Lamingtons are found in both
and New Zealand cuisine.
They are cubes of sponge cake, covered with chocolate icing and dessicated coconut.
In some versions of the recipe, the cubes of cake are
sliced in half, and a layer of cream or strawberry jam is spread between the halves.
- Sachertorte - Austrian cuisine is very famous for the range
of cakes, pastries and desserts that it has to offer, and this is one of
Austria's most famous
cake recipes. It is a
chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing with a layer of apricot jam in the middle.
- Vánocka - This is a Czech recipe for a
Christmas cake.
The cake is made with eggs and butter, and also contains raisins, almonds, lemon rind, and nutmeg.
The dough for the cake is made into braids, and these are stacked and then baked.

Book Description
There’s no better authority on delectable desserts than Martha Stewart. She and her ingenious team of editors have consistently created the most delicious recipes, and their dedication to simple instructions, how-to photographs, and beautiful styling is unparalleled. And there’s no more in-demand dessert right now than cupcakes.
Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes also includes templates and clip art for decorative flourishes, an equipment glossary, and step-by-step instructions for basic and advanced decorating techniques, plus ideas for presenting and packaging the cupcakes in Martha’s trademark style. From Martha Stewart's Cupcakes: Martha’s Meyer Lemon Cupcakes
The mild and sweet flavor of Meyer lemon is one of Martha’s favorites; these zest-flecked cupcakes are filled with Meyer lemon curd, which peeks out from the tops. The fruit, which is actually a lemon-orange hybrid, is generally available at specialty stores in winter and early spring. If you can’t find Meyer lemons, use regular lemons instead. The recipe yields a lot of cupcakes, so you may want to consider these for a bake sale or large gathering, such as a shower or special birthday celebration.
Cupcake Ingredients  - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Meyer lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice (from 1 to 2 Meyer lemons)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 7 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
- Lemon Curd (made with Meyer lemons; ingredients and directions below)
(Makes 42) Directions 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour, zest, baking powder, and salt. 2. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in cream cheese. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, beating until just combined after each. 3. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers. 4. To finish, dust cupcakes with confectioners’ sugar. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a coupler and a medium round tip (#8) with curd. Insert tip into top of each cupcake, and squeeze some curd below top to fill the inside, then lift the tip and squeeze more curd in a pool on top. Filled cupcakes can be kept at room temperature up to 1 hour (or refrigerated a few hours more) before serving.  Lemon Curd
A high proportion of lemon juice gives curd its intense flavor. As an acid, the juice also prevents the yolks from curdling when heated (unlike when making pastry cream, which requires the extra step of tempering). You can substitute an equal amount of juice from other citrus, such as lime, grapefruit, or blood orange. Lemon Curd Ingredients - 2 whole eggs plus 8 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
(Makes about 2 cups) Directions 1. Combine whole eggs and yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Add butter, a few pieces at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Strain through a fine sieve into another bowl, and cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap, pressing it directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days). |

Product Description:
In his twenty-five years as Executive White House Pastry Chef, Roland Mesnier prided himself on creating a unique dessert for every special occasion, from elaborate State Dinners and formal receptions to smaller family gatherings and birthday celebrations. In Roland Mesnier's Basic to Beautiful Cakes, the author of the classic and comprehensive Dessert University shows home cooks how to create desserts that can be beautifully embellished to serve any occasion by using a small set of foolproof cake recipes.Hazelnut Ring Cake, for example, can be served on its own at teatime, as it was in the Reagan White House; or, with the addition of espresso-flavored whipped cream and a crown of caramelized phyllo, can become the memorable culmination of an elegant dinner party. Chocolate Dome Cake (one of the Carters' favorites) can be topped with raspberry glaze, served with Grand Marnier mousse, or spangled with berries. Blueberry Upside-Down Cake with yogurt sauce is a light treat for a long weekend morning; the cherry version, with its lattice of whipped cream, will delight children and adults alike, and the truly grand Peach and Spice Upside-Down Cake with Brioche "Peaches" is a show-stopping confection, elegant enough for the Clintons to serve to the chancellor of Germany and the prime minister of England. Even on the most important ocassions, Chef Mesnier believes that desserts don't have to be filled with butter and cream. Recipes like the wheat-free Carrot Cake, the dairy-free Orange Sherbert Cake with Glazed Oranges, and the low-fat Apricot Souffl - Cake with Apricot Grand Marnier Sauce satisfy guests with special dietary concerns but still meet Roland's exacting standards for taste and presentation. The easy-to-follow instructions for these time-tested recipes anticipate pitfalls and offer sensible suggestions for when it is worth to invest in high-end ingredients and equipment and when you can get by without them, and how to peel and slice fruit for the most attractive results. With Chef Mesnier taking you through every step of each carefully constructed recipe, you can be sure that your cakes will be delicious and spectacular every time. Soon you will have mastered the basic recipes and a few of the more advanced techniques, and you will be able to develop a repertoire of your own. like Chef Mesnier, you'll be able to tailor your desserts to the tastes of your guests or the spirit of a celebration. Whether the table is lit by tapers and laid with your best silver or you are serving a few friends Sunday supper in the kitchen, you will be able to create sophisticated mouthwatering desserts that your guests will remember for weeks to come. |
