Flavourful, delicious cakes that are easy to bake

Thinking about tasteless cakes, I am reminded of my friend's favourite saying -- "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" And, in many cases, cakes aren't worth "the squeeze" (the effort to make). Beautiful, but tasteless, the effort of baking a cake is overshadowed by lackluster results. What I've come to realize with the almost half-dozen cakes I've baked from Ebuehi's book, her cake recipes are totally worth the squeeze. No need for a kitchen full of baking equipment, I found that each recipe could be mixed up in a single bowl using an electric hand mixer. Along with the recipes, the minimally styled photographs throughout the book show each cake in their own state of natural beauty.
The 60 cake recipes are organized into 6 chapters: Nuts & Caramel, Spices, Chocolate, Citrus, Floral, and Fruit. And, when I first read through the book, I couldn't decide what to bake first because it all sounded so delicious! There are also cakes for every mood and occasion: after school, breakfast, birthdays -- even a wedding cake -- Ebuehi has created beautiful cake recipes for all the moments from quiet occasions to the notable ones.
The Nutmeg Custard Cake Doughnuts was the first recipe I tried. Saturday mornings are my favourite time to bake up something delicious and it was a late-winter Saturday morning in March that I pulled out my doughnut pan. What is better than enjoying a weekend morning with a coffee and a doughnut? Custard powder and nutmeg in the batter, followed by a gorgeous glaze made with custard powder, these doughnuts -- unsurprisingly -- were extremely delicious! The cake doughnuts had a soft crumb and I appreciated that these were baked, rather than fried. For my daughter I added some colourful sprinkles too. They were so good that I boxed up some and dropped them off on my neighbour's doorstep -- a great bake should be shared!
From there I chose a few of the loaf cakes to bake as afterschool treats for my daughter. The Cinnamon Loaf w/ Espresso Butter is incredible! Ebuehi's recipe doesn't just rely on adding the cinnamon powder to the batter but, instead, cinnamon sticks and vanilla extract are put into warmed milk and left to steep for a quarter-hour. This simple technique of steeping ingredients in milk increases the end flavour of the cake 10-fold and, a slice of this flavourful cake is complimented with a generous slather of a lightly honeyed espresso butter. The Date & Rooibos Loaf is equally as delicious. I love the idea of using tea (or tisanes) in baking and the date/rooibos pairing is particularly tasty here. Both ingredients have an earthy sweetness, and we took Ebuehi's advice of lightly toasting slices then serving with a generous swipe of salted butter. The last loaf recipe I tried was one that I enjoyed as a child -- the lemon-poppy seed cake. But here, Ebuehi has taken a familiar cake and developed the flavour even further. She combines orange, grapefruit, and lemon, along with sour cream to create a wonderfully bright zing. The sweet-tart flavour of this tender-crumbed cake is another loaf that was great to have on the counter, ready for my daughter to get home from school.
When I came across Ebuehi's recipe for Hawaij Coffee Cake, I wanted to give a store-bought version that I picked up a try. While Ebuehi gives instructions on how to make your own Hawaij spice mix, I opted to use the version I had in my pantry. Not to be confused with the American version a coffee cake, the batter for this coffee-flavoured sponge cake included a good tablespoon of the Hawaij which creates such a lovely warm flavour when paired with the espresso powder. This light cake is then topped with a luscious mix of mascarpone, espresso powder, coffee-flavoured liqueur, and heavy cream. I took the extra step of adding cacao nibs, as Ebuehi suggests, along with a light sprinkling of Kafe Hawaij powder over the topping. The cake is rich and spicy, and the topping is tangy, cool, and creamy.
As Ebuehi says in the introduction to The New Way to Cake, "You can't go wrong with cake" and I would further this sentiment by telling you that you certainly couldn't go wrong if you had this book in your cookbook library. Over the past year since I bought this wonderful cookbook on the recommendation of my friend, I've found many delicious cake recipes to bake and, it's a book I continue to reach for when I just want to have a little cake to enjoy with an afternoon tea or coffee (or glass of milk in my daughter's case).
