This afternoon, I did not have anything I needed to do. So, I decided to bake a cake I found in a book I picked up at the library yesterday. Not that I needed to look at another recipe book, since I have a pile of printed out recipes from the internet that I still need to try.

I found this particular recipe book when I was scrolling through my Goodreads account. The title is called ‘Snacking Cakes’ and it is written by Yossy Arefi. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I want a bit of dessert, but I don’t want to spend the time making a big cake with all the frosting. So the cover of this book and the title made me search for it in our local library.

The book arrived yesterday, so I walked down to the library to pick up the book. As I was looking through the book last night, I spotted a recipe for Browned Butter, Pecan, and White Chocolate Cake. Oh my!

Since part of the recipe is on the following page, I did not realize that I needed to keep back some of the white chocolate and chopped pecans for the top of the cake. Oh well! I am sure it will still taste delicious.

I do like that this recipe book has some suggestions for using different pans, provides some flavor variations, and offers a way to dress up the cake when serving it.

It is too soon to tell whether I will add this book to my cookbook library, but in the meantime, I know what I am having for dessert tonight.
