Recipes
Easy, nourishing cakes and bakes that work in a small kitchen: one bowl, no mixer, ordinary pans. This section continues what the original Eat with Cake blog set out to do — recipes a beginner can actually follow.
One-Bowl Vanilla Snack Cake
This is the cake I make when I want something sweet tonight and I don't want to wash three bowls afterward. It bakes up tender and vanilla-forward in an 8-inch square pan, which is about all the space I'm willing to give up in my tiny Long Island kitchen.
Small-Batch Chocolate Wedding Cupcakes
When a friend asks me for a modest tray of wedding cupcakes, this is the recipe I reach for because it makes exactly twelve — no leftover batter to snack on, no half-empty bowls. The crumb is deep cocoa and buttermilk tender, and the swirled buttercream holds its shape on a buffet table in a humid reception hall.
No-Mixer Lemon Sheet Cake
I love this cake because it comes together in one bowl with a whisk, and the lemon does all the heavy lifting for flavor. It's the dessert I bring to spring gatherings on Long Island, since it travels flat in a 9x13 pan and feeds a crowd without any fuss.
