Simple to Showstopper: 240+ Approachable Recipes

America’s Test Kitchen’s first all-cake cookbook, The Perfect Cake, is a treasure trove of test kitchen knowledge on the art and science of baking cakes. It’s the definitive guide to any cake you crave, from classic anytime Pound Cake to impressive Blueberry Jam Cake with brilliant ombré frosting.

Sidebars featuring step-by-step photos for cakes with more advanced techniques, like piping the ribbons that give beautiful Rhubarb Ribbon Cake its name. Our years of cake baking-experience provide all the tips and tricks you need for executing perfect cakes every time. That towering 24-layer Hazelnut- Chocolate Crêpe Cake will be as approachable as Applesauce Snack Cake.

"Pound Cake made with hot melted butter and a food processor? The recipe is genius, and worth the price of the book."

— Alice Medrich, Wall Street Journal
