Snacking Cakes: Simple Treats for Anytime Cravings: A Baking Book | Yossy Arefi
14 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 21 to read
Find sweet satisfaction with 50 easy, everyday cake recipes made with simple ingredients, one bowl, and no fuss. In Snacking Cakes, the indulgent, treat-yourself concept of cake becomes an anytime, easy-to-make treat. Expert baker Yossy Arefis collection of no-fuss recipes is perfect for anyone who craves near-instant cake satisfaction. With little time and effort, these single-layered cakes are made using only one bowl (no electric mixers needed) and utilize ingredients likely sitting in your cupboard. Theyre baked in the basic pans you already own and shine with only the most modest adornments: a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of glaze, a dollop of whipped cream. From Nectarine and Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake and Gingery Sweet Potato Cake to Salty Caramel Peanut Butter Cake and Milk Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cake, these humble, comforting treats couldnt be simpler to create. Yossys rustic, elegant style combines accessible, diverse flavors in intriguing ways that make them easy for kids to join in on the baking, but special enough to serve company or bring to potlucks. Whether enjoyed in a quiet moment alone with a cup of morning coffee or with friends hungrily gathered around the pan, these ever-pleasing, undemanding cakes will become part of your daily ritual.

Tamra What type of jam did you use? 9mo
janeycanuck @Tamra blackberry vanilla, which was very tasty! I think the recipe recommended raspberry but any berry would be good. 9mo
Tamra @janeycanuck that would be amazing! 9mo

Shout out to a rainy autumn day because that‘s all the excuse I need not only to bake a Lemony Olive Oil Cake (definitely a family fav) but also to sing the praises of this book…yet again. I‘ve posted about it before and probably will again but the recipes are easy and the cakes are always delicious. Highly recommend this one for anyone who likes a treat with their morning coffee…afternoon tea…evening reading...or whenever you‘re in the mood.

Sparklemn I have this book, too, and sing its praises!! 2y

I haven‘t bought cookbooks in a long time but since we are now living in the northeast, I wanted to see if anyone had any really good cookbooks that they like. Anything with soups would be good, after living in San Diego for 11 years we have a few fall recipes we like but I know we can use more. I figured I‘d ask here to see if anyone had any really good recommendations (I do have nut & chickpea allergies). Thanks!

I love this book so much. Every recipes ends up with a super moist, simple cake. I‘ve used it for a while now so I‘m feeling confident to customise things a bit! Today I‘ve made malted chocolate cake with mint chocolate frosting, apple cake with rhubarb buttercream and walnuts and a coconut cake with cherries and sliced almonds 😋

Redy2trvl They look absolutely delicious! 3y

I‘m hitting the wall with covid lockdown. I‘m not working ( partly by choice, I‘m a substitute teacher and while there are jobs I don‘t really have the tech to remote teach - it‘s basically all used by 2 kids going to uni remotely and husband full time teaching remotely ) and I‘m losing my mind cooking and cleaning and tidying and I should be grateful but today I‘m not. So books are being delivered. Let there be cake.

LeahBergen This is a really good cookbook. 👍🏻 4y
mcctrish @LeahBergen oh I‘m so glad to hear that 4y
Christine It‘s so hard to be grateful all the time. Cake does help. 🙂❤️ 4y

mcctrish @Christine now to choose where to start 🤣 4y
AbbaZabba02 I feel ya. We moved to a new state in May, I don't work, home with my 3 kids day in and day out for 8 months now. Dont know anyone at the new city. FB is super toxic but it's literally my only interaction with people outside my house. 4y
AbbaZabba02 Maybe I should make cakes too. 😅 4y
mcctrish Oh @AbbaZabba02 that is a rough haul!!! Even in the best of times only being with 3 littles can be hard ❤️ I hope this pandemic ends fast so you can get out there and explore and meet the people 4y
mcctrish And yes to cakes Emma @AbbaZabba02 4y
AbbaZabba02 @mcctrish my saving grace is that my kids are bigger, 15, 13, 9. So I can go to the store alone and my husband and I can go grab a coffee on Saturday and leave them safely at the house. Got bless my friends with toddlers right now. I would have gone crazy if my kids were still very small. 4y
mcctrish @AbbaZabba02 oh my yes, toddlers are cute but never having a break is hard 4y

Reading this morning started with a recipe in this cookbook so that I could make something delicious for breakfast. For the record, I resisted buying it for weeks but any cookbook that understands, as its title clearly indicates, that cakes are perfect for snacking is, ultimately, irresistible. Did I start with a cake which even the recipe says is perfect for breakfast? Yes, yes I did. Can‘t wait to bake my way through this book! ❤️🍰❤️

SamAnne I have this on hold at the library. I can see this being a cookbook I end up buying. 4y
Sparklemn I just got this in the mail and already ordered a new baking pan and spatula...because the book told me to... 😉 4y
TracyReadsBooks @SamAnne and @Sparklemn I may or may not have acquired a new pan...and spatula...and fine mesh sieve...So many cakes I want to bake! One of the things I really like about the cookbook is that the author includes two or three variations for each recipe. Now I just have to decide which one I want to make next! 😋 4y
Sparklemn Good luck deciding!!! 4y

I think I‘m going to love this website - I‘ve spent the morning adding all my cookbooks to the virtual bookshelf and now I‘ve got every recipe electronically indexed - searchable, with notes and bookmarks too. No more hunting through 100s of books for a specific recipe! #nfn2020

julesG Oh, nice. I'll have to have a look at it. 4y
Mitch @julesG it‘s really good. I can never find specific reviews in amongst my books! 4y
julesG I guess a lot of cooking or baking time goes into finding the right recipe. 4y

TheAromaofBooks I checked out this website when you first mentioned it, but haven't had time to go back and explore it properly. I absolutely love the concept, though. This may be a good winter project!! 4y
jenniferw88 I've just signed up! 4y
Mitch @TheAromaofBooks yeah - I‘ve almost got all my cookbooks in there now. Just got to figure out the best way to use the notes and bookmarks. 4y
Mitch @jenniferw88 it seems a good idea! 👏🏼👏🏼 4y

Mitch @veritysalter I've just spent a very satisfying hour or so creating virtual bookshelves labelled - Baking, Sri Lankan, Modern Veg etc - and I've shuffled all my virtual books on the shelves - very satisfying! 4y
