Book Synopsis



WASHINGTON POST BEST COOKBOOKS OF 2025
NPR BOOKS WE LOVE 2025
EPICURIOUS STANDOUT COOKBOOK FOR FALL 2025
READWORTHY BEST NEW COOKBOOKS 2025

From beloved James Beard Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Dorie Greenspan--a vibrantly illustrated collection of recipes for simple yet most-memorable cakes

Over the years, Dorie has created thousands of excellent recipes. And out of all of them, the ones she always comes back to are the simplest cakes. Some may have a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing, but most of them are straight-from-the-oven cakes that are great as-is. They're cakes that you probably already have all the ingredients for in your pantry. They're the kinds of cakes you can whip up, put out and know that anyone with a hankering can come by and cut a sliver or a hunk. Any time.

With evocative writing, expert advice, and gorgeous illustrations by Nancy Pappas, Dorie's Anytime Cakes celebrates the simple--but still exciting and special--with more than 100 recipes for easy-to-make, easy-to-love cakes.

There are recipes for all kinds of cakes, including loaves and rounds, muffins, crumbles, and Bundts--even savory cakes--plus frostings, fillings, and other flourishes:


  • BFF Brownie Cake
  • Morning, Noon, and Night Thanksgiving Cake
  • Cafuné Corn Cake
  • Simplest, Plainest, Most Old-Fashion--Also Best Tasting--Marble Cake
  • Buttermilk Plum Cake
  • Faux-caccia Squares
  • Miso-Cheddar Scone Cake
  • Feta, Sumac, and Za'atar Loaf
  • The Devil's Chocolate Cake


You'll also find "Playing Around" suggestions throughout--Dorie's inspirations for making each recipe to your own taste and right for all occasions. Flavor your sugar with citrus or tea for a special touch, spice your cake up with hot honey, or transform your plain cake into an impressive, layered party cake. Just like Dorie, you'll return to baking these favorite cakes again and again.



Review Quotes




"I love Dorie Greenspan's desserts." - INA GARTEN, Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and TV

"I cannot imagine a concept more joyful than an anytime cake and a human more joyful than Dorie. Put them together and we are simply not worthy! From the illustrations to the stories to the recipes that include things like Feta, Sumac, and Za'atar Loaf and Black Sesame Bars (!!), this book will truly make your everyday more delightful." - MOLLY YEH, New York Times bestselling author of Sweet Farm!

"If you've ever dreamed of baking alongside Dorie Greenspan in her kitchen (as I have), you'll love this highly personal collection of cakes, which range from a Franco-American Banana Bread to a Coffee-Chocolate Chunk Bundt, a gift to all bakers from her kitchen to ours. Dorie's Anytime Cakes is brimming with sweet and savory cakes that every home baker will cherish. If you're anything like me, you'll be inspired and delighted to have this brightly illustrated book of Dorie's never-fail recipes in your kitchen." - DAVID LEBOVITZ, author of Ready for Dessert

Fans of Greenspan already trust her to deliver toothsome treats that are both classic and creative, and her latest book will sate their appetite for even more sweet treats. . .These recipes will make their way into lunchboxes and after-school snack rotations, as well as more show-stopping events, all while reminding bakers of the magic of exploring textures and flavors. VERDICT Greenspan has written what is sure to be among the year's best baking books, which will have readers thinking about the rich ways in which cakes have been a source of inspiration to bake, eat, share, and repeat. - Library Journal (starred review)

My longtime source of baking inspiration (and mental hand-holding when I attempt a new, ambitious confection) is renowned baker Dorie Greenspan. Hers are the cookbooks I flip through to understand how a tricky technique really works, or to glean creativity for the many cookie swaps that fill my calendar each holiday season. Greenspan's recipes always, always work, and her flavor combinations feel both comfortingly familiar and enticingly innovative all at once. - Kelsey Jane Youngman, senior service editor, Epicurious
