Ep510 - Rose Levy Beranbaum & Woody Wolston | The Cake Bible: 35th Anniversary Edition


Listen Later

Award winning author of 12 cookbooks Rose Levy Beranbaum visits Google to discuss her hugely influential cookbook “The Cake Bible, 35th Anniversary Edition.” This updated edition contains recipes for both classic and innovative cakes, plus complementary adornments of all types, instructions for making stunning decorations, and flavor variations for every craving and occasion.

The original “Cake Bible” is a guiding light in the world’s baking literature, with Rose Levy Beranbaum’s deep knowledge and respect for craft to be found on every page. It’s for home and professional bakers who want to make glorious, technically perfect cakes and understand why the ingredients in cakes work the way they do.

The book was hugely influential from the moment it first came out in 1988, selling hundreds of thousands of copies and going through sixty printings. It introduced the reverse creaming method, incorporating flour and butter first instead of butter and sugar. This makes mixing faster and easier, helps cakes rise more evenly, and results in a finer and more tender cake texture. And it’s among the first American cookbooks to offer measurements in weights, highlighting the superiority of the metric system, which has become the gold standard in baking books.

For thirty-five years, Rose has been tweaking and reworking her methods based on reader feedback and constant conversations with other bakers and food and equipment professionals. Rose’s fans, professional and amateur alike, will love this perfect distillation of her decades of experience and the pure joy of creation.
