What makes a cake a cake? If you are tired of reading books, why not try some cakes this afternoon. Let’s take a mouth watering recess. To make a real cake, a book on cake will help. A well-written book in simple and comprehending language that will teach us step-by-step how to do it. Here is the book. It says the word ‘cake’ comes from ‘Kaka’.
‘The favourite cake of early Roman times seems to have been a dense barley-meal dough favoured with pine nuts, raisins, and sweet wine.‘
In the 14th century, yeasted fruit cakes were being sweetened with honey; by the mid-17th century, treacle and sugar had replaced honey. The invention of baking powder in the 1840s’ helped the cake makers a lot.
The book is not about the history of the cakes or their ingredients. The ‘book of cakes’ is a cookbook. It consists of a recipe for 55 different cakes, which are categorised as loaf cakes, fruit cakes, and sponge cakes. Those sponge cakes are lighter ones, made by the whisking and beating of eggs. Rubbed-in cake mixtures are made with the help of just your hands and a mixing bowl. Rock cake and Welsch cake are such cakes. Have you consumed the classic Swiss roll? It is a type of whisked sponge that is raised entirely by air bubbles.
You wish to make irresistible cakes, for any occasion. The book is a great asset. For people who have a sweet tooth, its a tempting book. I highly recommend this book for cake lovers, people in the food and sweet making industry, and anyone who is interested in making cakes. The author has made this book very presentable. I thank NetGalley and publishers for providing me with an advanced copy.
Let’s enjoy the book and these cakes with a poem by MOTHER GOOSE
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man,
Bake me a cake, as fast as you can;
Pat it, prick it, and mark it with B,
Put it in the oven for baby and me.
