Magic Cakes by Kathleen Royal Phillips


This sweet little book teaches techniques and foundations, while encouraging bakers to invent magic cake concoctions of their own. The recipes all stem from the layered Vanilla Magic cake that graces the front cover, and immediately evolve into yummy desserts that will be perfect additions to the caloric consumption on the holiday table. My favorites include the Gingerbread, Cranberry Orange (served warm!), and Tiramisu. Basically this book of easy-mix batters is great for holiday entertaining as well as gifting, so it checks all the seasonal shopping boxes on my list.
