My Little Cake Tin – Cookbook Giveaway
July 9, 2024 by JennyEnter our worldwide giveaway to win one of three copies of My Little Cake Tin: Over 70 Versatile, Beautiful, Flavourful Bakes Using Just One Tin by Sinha Tarunima.
Tarunima Sinha’s glorious cake and biscuit creations are the stuff of Instagram dreams. And yet her baking journey started only when she came to the UK from northeast India in 2001, repurposing an 8-inch/20cm chapatti tin from her childhood as a cake tin. Her resume includes working for the great Asma Khan at Calcutta Canteen!
Now, as @mylittlecaketin, she has devised breathtaking recipes for everything from sponges to lamingtons to meringues and friands. In her stunning debut cookbook, My Little Cake Tin, Tarunima takes you through every cake recipe you’ll ever need – covering sponge methods (including vegan and gluten-free), batters, classics, seasonal everyday, buttercream cakes, beautiful cakes from around the world, “cake but not a cake” and free-from cakes. The bonus is that all of these creations require a single cake tin.
Measurements are provided in both weight and volume and the author has done a remarkable job with the information she provides the reader. She begins with the basics as most baking cookbooks do and then follows with instructions for various batters and techniques such as reverse creaming method, chiffon cake method, hot milk method and more. Following that section, flavourings and fillings are covered before providing advice on storing and transporting cakes. After this wealth of knowledge, the recipes begin and those recipes (and photographs of same) look brilliant!
Our 
takes you inside this stunning book and features the following 
- Coffee and walnut cake
- Pistachio and blood orange cake
- Australian lamington [cake]
- To make chocolate shards
- ‘Lemon moon’ cake (Citronmåne)
- Egg-free berries and fresh cream cake
The photography in My Little Cake Tin will inspire bakers of all levels to get into the kitchen and bake. Tarunima is a self-admitted flower fiend and even dedicates a page to “A love letter to flowers”. This obsession with flowers is evident in how she decorates many of her beautiful bakes. If you are a cake-obsessed baker, you need this book!
