When the occasion (or the mood…or the craving) calls for something chocolate for dessert, why not make it unforgettable?
Chocolate Cakes: 50 Great Cakes for Every Occasion by Elinor Klivans can be your one and only stop when searching for a decadent chocolate cake….of any kind.
The photographs by Ann Stratton are mouthwatering….and the recipes are foolproof, with tutorials handy to let you feel confident making just about every aspect of these cakes, including ganache.
There’s something here for any schedule….whether you need a quick fix (like the Hot Chocolate Pudding Cake), or have a bit more time to contribute to baking (like The New Brooklyn Blackout Cake).
Some of my personal favorite chocolate recipes are included in this volume — and I’m excited about trying Klivans’ version of them: Chocolate Pavlova (which is adorned with chocolate-dipped berries) and Chocolate Zebra Cake, just to name a couple.
Chocoholics everywhere can rejoice in this catalog of cakes!
You can find Chocolate Cakes: 50 Great Cakes for Every Occasion for $22.95 at your favorite local bookstore, or you can order it online directly from Chronicle Books.
