The first ever cake book for Aga owners covers all the lovely things
cooks want to make but often find tricky to get right in the Aga. With
100 recipes for large cakes, cupcakes, buns, muffins, and traybakes,
ranging from the classic to the contemporary, this book is perfect for
both the keen cake baker and the complete beginner. There are ideas for
all occasions, or simply fast cakes for the busy person, and even
recipes that children will enjoy making themselves. It includes simple
cakes (quick and easy traybakes, Swiss rolls, and all-in-one cakes),
chocolate cakes (brownies, chocolate roulade, death-by-chocolate--all
sumptuous delights that are equally good served as teatime cakes or
dinner-party desserts), traditional cakes (Victoria sandwich, Christmas
cake, Simnel cake, Dundee cake, parkin, teabread, scones, plus old
English regional classics), baking with kids (fairy cakes, drop scones,
Welsh cakes, flapjacks, cookies, and fork biscuits), cupcakes (beautiful
little iced gems in a variety of colors and flavors), coffee-shop cakes
(muffins, flavored shortbread, banana loaf, and gingerbread), healthy
options (fruit bars, oatcakes, carrot cake, courgette buns, wholewheat
cake, and fat-free cakes). All recipes have Aga and conventional
instructions. There is also advice about baking equipment and useful
tips throughout, making cake baking in the Aga absolutely foolproof!
