The New Way to Cake – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our giveaway below (open to US – three copies; with EYB providing one copy worldwide) for The New Way to Cake: Simple Recipes with Exceptional Flavor by Benjamina Ebuehi. This book made my Baker’s gift guide this year.

Benjamina appeared on The Great British Bake Off (series 7) where she impressed the judges with her technique and creative flavor combinations. She now works with Luminary Bakery teaching workshops, providing food styling and content development and continues to share recipes on her blog Carrot & Crumb.

No matter the number of incredible baking titles released each year, I am always excited to learn that one of the GBBO’s talented bakers are publishing a cookbook. The New Way to Cake doesn’t disappoint. This book is filled with gorgeous photographs and inspirational recipes such as Chocolate, rye & passionfruit cake, Plum & black pepper cake, and Hazelnut & tahini caramel cake.

Our EYBDPreviewButton takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following EYBD Recipe Button

Do we need another book devoted to cake? Yes, we do. Why? Because the author wants us to experiment beyond the cake recipes we normally turn to and try new flavors and textures. In her debut cookbook, she provides all the recipes we need to do that. Sure you can make a simple chocolate cake for a dinner party but when you slice up a Malted chocolate cake with Baileys Irish cream ganache (which is just as easy to prepare) you will be crowned queen of the cakes.

Thanks to the publisher for providing three copies of the above-referenced title in our giveaway open to EYB Members in the US. EYB is providing one additional copy worldwide. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post.

Which recipe in the index would you try first?
