Snacking Cakes

The indulgent, treat-yourself concept of cake is transformed into an anytime, easy-to-make treat in Snacking Cakes. Yossy Arefi's collection of no-fuss recipes is ideal for anyone looking for near-instant cake satisfaction. These ever-pleasing, undemanding cakes will become part of your daily ritual, whether enjoyed alone with a cup of morning coffee or with friends gathered around the pan.

These single-layered cakes are made with little time and effort, using only one bowl (no electric mixers required) and ingredients that are most likely already in your pantry. They're baked in basic pans you probably already have and adorned with only the most basic embellishments: a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of glaze, and a dollop of whipped cream. These simple, comforting treats range from Nectarine and Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake and Gingery Sweet Potato Cake to Salty Caramel Peanut Butter Cake and Milk Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cake. Yossy's rustic, elegant style combines approachable, diverse flavors in intriguing ways that allow kids to participate in the baking while remaining special enough to serve company or bring to potlucks.
