Review: Good selection of cake recipes written but be prepared to use a scale
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 30, 2012
This book has a 4 star rating based on the depth and variety of recipes found in this cookbook. Unfortunately the recipes are written so you will have to weigh some of the ingredients. This is not a bad thing, but most US bakers do not normally use a kitchen scale in baking.Also, some of the recipes state to use self rising flour and offer all-purpose flour as a substitute. Unfortunately you can not directly substitute self-rising flour for all-purpose flour as all-purpose flour is lacking the leavening agents needed to make the cake rise.There is an active table of contents on page 3 or location 20 of 849.Some of the recipes you will find in this cookbook include:Victoria Sandwich Sponge CakeMoist Lemon CakeMarmalade CakeBattenberg CakeTea Fruit CakeRecommend with caveats given.
