More about this book
Rose Levy Beranbaum is known for exacting, thoroughly tested recipes. Her book The Cake Bible became a classic for serious bakers, and Rose's Heavenly Cakes, published more than two decades later, gathers new recipes along with improved versions of favorites, now with color photographs of nearly every cake.
The book is arranged by type of cake. There are butter and oil cakes, including simple pound cakes and coffee cakes; sponge cakes such as génoise and chiffon; cheesecakes and mousse cakes; small baby cakes and cupcakes; and a chapter of wedding cakes, among them a dramatic chocolate passion wedding cake. Recipes such as a rolled chocolate apricot cake with a glossy glaze and an elegant génoise show her attention to both flavor and appearance. Ingredients are listed by volume and by weight in grams and ounces, and each recipe includes clear notes on equipment, timing and make-ahead steps. An introductory section explains the ingredients and techniques that make a cake rise, stay tender and hold its shape.
Precise and rewarding for patient bakers who enjoy a weekend project and want results to be proud of. About 512 pages in hardcover.
