Classic Cake Recipes Make New Book On The Best Cake Cookbooks Of The Year

(Newswire.net — November 15, 2013) Albuquerque, NEW MEXICO — There are two types of people in the world: people who love cake and people who don’t. Those in the latter group needn’t read any further. In her latest cookbook just published this week, Julie Schoen indulgently traces the history of the cake in America. Part edible timeline part memoir, A Slice Of American History is the best cake cookbook in recent memory and one that deserves a spot in everyone’s kitchen collection. And it’s free price for this weekend makes the best cake recipes even more tempting to dig into.

 

Despite their classic nature and century-old (or even centuries-old) origins, the cakes in Schoen’s book are accessible and updated for modern kitchens, which means readers can enjoy historical treats in contemporary fashion. And while some of the cakes are old favorites well known by most Americans (Bundt, Devil’s Food, Pound), there are several hidden gems that, although maybe presently unknown, will soon become brand new favorites (Smith Island Cake, Mille Crepes, Minnehaha).

 

Schoen’s obvious love for cake is intoxicating, making it difficult to resist jumping into action and baking the first cake the book is opened to. The beautiful pictures accompanied with the majority of the recipes add to the recipes’ appeal and the family pictures and clever ideas provided at the end of the book give the reader the feeling that they have just stepped into an inner-circle filled with beautiful cake-loving people. And, thumbing through the recipes, there is a good chance of learning some American history as well, tidbits of information layered between the recipes as a friendly way of orientation.

 

A Slice of American History will be available in print the beginning of December and is currently available as a digital download, which will be free for all on Amazon.com Saturday November 15^th through Monday the 17^th.
