It’s sometimes true that good things come in small packages. This little (seven by seven inches) book is crammed with easy recipes that produce delicious results. The cakes utilize baking powder and baking soda instead of yeast, which makes them quick to put together. Novices will have no problem following the well-organized recipes; the more experienced will also find enough to intrigue them, from classic sour cream coffee cake to low-fat banana tea bread. Hadda, a New York City writer, provides a brief but thorough introduction to both techniques and ingredients.

This book has excellent, if sometimes difficult recipes for everything from simple loaf cake to fancy cheese cake layered with coffee cake and fruit. I have not been even remotely dissapointed with any of the 10 (out of more than 70) cakes I’ve made. If you like to bake and are looking for different and delicious this has to be on your shelf.

If you are looking for coffee cakes that you could get at Grandma’s house, here it is. This book covers all of the basics, crumb cakes, tea loafs, fruit cakes, and just about every variety of coffee cake imaginable. This book does not have any photos or illustrations, but the directions are straight forward. Everything is very simple to prepare, and many of the cakes can be made with ingredents that are in most any well stocked pantry. Also it features a nice little selection of butters and spreads to put on those fresh warm slices of cake, mmmm. very nice!
