Summary: 19 Incomparable Chocolate Cake Recipes!
Review: "Chocolate Cakes" is my favorite kind of cookbook. It contains a small number of carefully selected recipes by an expert author, as opposed to big cookbooks that strive to include as many recipes as they can, regardless of their quality. This is small book of only 48 pages and slightly less than 6x6 inches in size. But everything in it is excellent. Author Kathy Farrell-Kingsley has chosen 19 chocolate cake recipes that include layer cakes, tortes, cupcakes, souffles, bombes, ganache, and more. The recipes are easy to follow and each is accompanied by a lovely color photograph. Recipes for frostings, glazes, and sauces are found in the back. I am not a huge chocolate fan, but the recipes in this book are so good that I am temporarily converted to chocoholism whenever I take a bite of any of these cakes. Even if your only interest in chocolate cakes is the traditional chocolate layer cake, "Chocolate Cakes" is well worth your attention. It has a recipe for a simple chocolate layer cake called "Mom's Best" that is delicious beyond description. It puts all other chocolate layer cakes to shame. The chocolate buttercream frosting is the best I've ever tasted as well, and has many uses beyond the cakes in this book. I give "Chocolate Cakes" the highest recommendation to chocolate lovers and to anyone who likes to bake cakes.
