Find sweet satisfaction with 50 easy, everyday cake recipes made with simple ingredients, one bowl, and no fuss.

IACP AWARD WINNER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Bon Appétit • The New York Times Book Review • Epicurious • Town & Country

“[Snacking Cakes] hits the sweet spot. . . . Cake for breakfast? Yes, please!”—Martha Stewart Living

In Snacking Cakes, the indulgent, treat-yourself concept of cake becomes an anytime, easy-to-make treat. Expert baker Yossy Arefi’s collection of no-fuss recipes is perfect for anyone who craves near-instant cake satisfaction.

With little time and effort, these single-layered cakes are made using only one bowl (no electric mixers needed) and utilize ingredients likely sitting in your cupboard. They’re baked in the basic pans you already own and shine with only the most modest adornments: a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of glaze, a dollop of whipped cream. From Nectarine and Cornmeal Upside-Down Cake and Gingery Sweet Potato Cake to Salty Caramel Peanut Butter Cake and Milk Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cake, these humble, comforting treats couldn’t be simpler to create. Yossy’s rustic, elegant style combines accessible, diverse flavors in intriguing ways that make them easy for kids to join in on the baking, but special enough to serve company or bring to potlucks.

Whether enjoyed in a quiet moment alone with a cup of morning coffee or with friends hungrily gathered around the pan, these ever-pleasing, undemanding cakes will become part of your daily ritual.

Review

“Snack time has officially gotten an upgrade! Yossy's cakes are stunningly beautiful, vibrantly delicious, and perfectly acceptable to eat whenever you please, no reason necessary, because they’re SNACKS! I am officially obsessed with this book.”—Molly Yeh, cookbook author and Food Network host

“What’s more joyful than a snacking cake?! Yossy Arefi brings her baking know-how to the mix with recipes that are simple, delicious, and super doable.”—Kerry Diamond, co-founder of Cherry Bombe magazine

“This book is my new cake bible. The recipes in this book scratch the itch for just the type of cake I want to eat all the time. True to her brand, Yossy’s cakes are beautiful in their simplicity and refreshingly simple to make.”—Ben Mims, Los Angeles Times cooking columnist

“Forget about that ancient box of cake mix in the cupboard, because Yossy will show you that no matter where you are, who you’re with, or what’s in the fridge, a cake is always possible. Her streamlined methods (bowl plus whisk!) and mix of clever and classic flavors make this the kind of baking book you’ll always want within arms’ reach.”— Zoë Kanan, pastry chef

“Yossy has a particularly special touch when it comes to flavor and throughout this book there is a sprinkling of delightful flavor combos, exciting textural elements, and delicious sounding recipes. Snacking cakes are meant to be simple but Yossy’s style also stops them ever being boring.”—Edd Kimber, baker and author of One Tin Bakes

“Yossy Arefi has a natural ability to make reliable, doable recipes that are also incredibly beautiful. The pages of Snacking Cakes radiate with these talents. This book made me want to run to my kitchen, grab the nearest bowl, and bake—and I know readers everywhere will be joining me.’”—Erin Jeanne McDowell, author of The Book on Pie

“Yossy Arefi has the rare ability to create approachable recipes that yield bold, nuanced flavors. She does exactly that in Snacking Cakes, providing readers with an array of low-effort, high-reward cakes to celebrate the everyday.”—Vallery Lomas, blogger and on-air host

“I’m a big fan of the way Yossy mixes fruit, citrus, and spice—exactly how I want to eat my sweets every day. All of her baked goods are beautifully delicious. Period.”—Erin Patinkin co-founder of Ovenly and Seemore Meats and Veggies

“Yossy brings her trusted baking knowledge to this lovely collection filled with every type of cake and icing combination possible. It truly is a book for all occasions and cravings, and I can’t wait to bake my way through it.”—Sarah Kieffer, cookbook writer and author of The Vanilla Bean blog

“In Snacking Cakes, Yossy returns with her immediately recognizable style, one that is both familiar and aspirational, with layer cakes that feel both special and inherently comforting. This book is exactly right for right now.”—Tara O’Brady, food writer and author of the award-winning Seven Spoons

Introduction

So, what exactly makes a cake a snacking cake? I certainly didn’t invent the concept, and it depends a little bit on who you ask, but to me a snacking cake is a single layer cake, probably square, covered with a simple icing—or nothing at all—and it must be truly easy to make. It’s a cake that makes an ideal breakfast to-go, wrapped in a paper napkin, and a perfect little sweet to have alongside coffee in the afternoon.

These cakes are the kind of baking I love—they are low stress and don’t require much besides a reasonably stocked pantry, a bowl, and a whisk. These aren’t the kind of all-day project bakes you’ll see on The Great British Baking Show; rather, they are humble everyday treats that can lift your spirit and satisfy your hunger for something sweet, at any time of day. These are the sort of cakes you can throw together after work on a weeknight with minimal effort, minimal time, and minimal mess.

Snacking cakes can be cut into tidy little squares and tucked into lunch boxes or wrapped up in a sheet of beeswax food wrap to gift to a friend who has just moved into a new apartment, so they have something for dessert that night, and breakfast the next morning. They are the sort of cakes that help celebrate the large and small moments of life. Even if that moment is just making it through work on a Monday. These are also the perfect kinds of recipes for little hands to help with. Since everything basically gets thrown into the same bowl, if your tiny assistant gets overzealous and adds the ingredients a little out of order, nothing too terrible will happen, theoretically. . . .

I’ve tried to hit every possible cake craving in these 50 recipes, from bright, citrusy olive oil cakes to fudgy chocolate ones, to fruit-and veggie-(yes, veggie!) packed cakes with seedy toppings and naturally technicolor glazes or fluffy frostings. There are lots of variations, too, and you have my full encouragement to make these cakes your own. You can combine the cakes and toppings in any way you see fit, and if glazes or frostings seem too fussy, these cakes are all perfectly delicious with a simple dusting of confectioners’ sugar—or nothing at all.

It’s a simple luxury to bake a snacking cake for yourself or your friends and family. I hope this book inspires you to do it often, and with abandon.

Jake Gyllenhaal was talking about how much he loved making snack cakes from this book. So I thought I’d buy it all of the cake so far are super easy to make. None of them are too sweet and the four or five that I’ve made evolved over fairly well with my work mates and my family, she has beautiful pictures very easy directions and almost fail proof recipes

I continually checked this out at the library before finally buying it. Yossy has made some delicious recipes with basic ingredients that pack a flavor punch while being easy and adaptable. I shy away from baking due to it just being two of us in the house, but these are PERFECT for us. I halve the recipes and am able to get two decent sized personal cakes. Everyone one i know i have told to go get this book and now I am telling you to get it too.

Thank you Yossy for improving my life ;)

I rarely buy or use cookbooks but am so glad I bought this one. The cake recipes are easy, adaptable, and delicious. I’ve probably made about six of the recipes from this cookbook so far and all have turned out great. The recipes follow the same basic steps (dissolve sugar in eggs/egg substitute, whisk in wet ingredients, fold in dry ingredients, bake, glaze or frost) and many can be made with ingredients in a basic stocked pantry. I made the buttermilk vanilla cake with strawberry frosting today and it is heavenly. Highly recommend!

The red velvet cake, minus the red food coloring and plus some whipped cream and edible flowers, let the simple ingredients shine through splendidly! I miss baking with my grandmother and a wooden spoon, and this book brought it all back. I will cook methodically through all 50 recipes, you can be sure. This book is an antidote to the aspirational cookbooks to are fun to look at, but unlikely to find a home in your kitchen. Thank you, Yossy Arefi!

Easy and unusual recipes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2022

We've baked 3 cakes out of this book and all have been wonderful. The chocolate chip espresso cake and the powdered donut cake both deserve special moreish mention. Brilliant to break out of our chocolate sponge cake rut.

The recipes all need a single bowl and so are simple enough for my 10 year old to do on her own. We've used the UK measurements without any issue. I had to do a little translation from my daughter (baking soda; confectioners sugar; all purpose flour) but not really an issue.

I love that each recipe includes info for using different size/shaped pans and so is just really practical to use. No weird ingredients either, and the author has a laid back attitude to substitutions which is great for a bit of experimentation.
