Great recipes

Though there is no photos on this recipe book, I must say the recipes are really great. We have never tried blueberry pound cake as there is no blueberries in Asia, but I managed to get some frozen to try and the cake was just amazing. My hubby, my food critic, calls it "addictive". All the cakes can be prepared with minimum fuss within 30mins. Best of all, Diana's cakes are good enough to stand on its own, you don't need the "icing" on the cake for her recipes. This is what I call a really good cake.

The New Good Cake Book by Diana Dalsass

One of the main things I look for in a cookbook other than an attractive cover is ease of use and I must say that Diana Dalsass delivers that in this delightful 'cake'book. Some of the recipes are truly inspiring. Although there are no pictures in this book, the titles alone conjure up vivid images such as the Flower Pot Cake. This cookbook is good for the beginner and the advanced cook as it allows for simple recipes as well as more complicated ones. I have only tried a few of the recipes, but I look forward to many of the cakes gracing my dinner table and community bake sales in the months to come. Between this and the Cake Mix Doctor, I am going to be a busy little baker. Another good thing about the cookbook is that she certainly isn't shy about using butter and other rich ingredients. However, she does include a section on reduced fat cakes. I would also like to say that I have finally found in this cookbook a Carrot Cake to rival Grandma's. Dalsass has organized the book by catergory such as butter and fruit. This is not a book for the faint at heart nor the truly calorie conscious. This is a cookbook for the adventurer and the true cake fans. Nothing says love like a homemade dessert especially a beautifully made cake. This would make an excellent gift for the baker in your life.
