One Pot Cakes: 60 Recipes for Cakes from Scratch Using a Pot, a Spoon, and a Pan - Hardcover

Here are two baking books offering easy desserts?one of them, really easy desserts. Schloss and Bookman are the authors of Dinner's Ready (LJ 2/15/95), a good weekly menu-planning cookbook. Inspired by a friend's chocolate cake recipe, Schloss discovered how to put together a cake using just one pot or bowl and a wooden spoon, and he's come up with lots more chocolate cakes, cupcakes, coffee cakes, even bar cookies. Most take only minutes to prepare, but they are indeed cakes made from scratch, and most seem delicious. Haedrich is the author of several other cookbooks, including Country Breakfasts (LJ 11/15/94), but baking is his first love. His desserts range from homey to elegant, from Brownie Pudding Cake to Coffee Shortbread Cookies to Maple Mousse with Toasted Hazelnuts. They are simple to make but not always quick to prepare; usually, however, the different components for more complicated desserts can be made in advance. Haedrich writes well, and his recipes are so good and varied that most bakers will want to plunge right in. Both titles are recommended for most collections.
