Divided into three categories -- sweet, salty and loaves -- this stylishly designed book will inspire cooks to bake cakes in fresh new ways with ingredients like chorizo, Gruyv(R)re and pistachios. A section on cake basics covers baking tips, equipment and storage. Some of the reimagined cakes and loaves include: Red berries cake Apple, carrot and almond cake Olive, thyme and lemon cake Pecan nut cake Mushroom and parsley loaf Thai loaf Sesame and pineapple cake Zucchini and carrot loaf Feta and herbs loaf. With this imaginative book filled with delightful and unexpected recipes, bakers will discover the versatility of the classic cake.
