"Making a cake doesn’t have to eat up an entire day of your life. Dorie’s Anytime Cakes are weekday treats that anyone with a decent mixer (or even just a bowl) can throw together. Cakes can be small, like the exemplary wheaten Bran-berry Muffins. They can be round, like springy, citrusy Olive Oil-and-Orange Grab-and-Go Cake. They can have corners, and cause you to engage in rabid hoarding behavior, like the deceptively understated Crunchy-Topped Almond Cake, with its silken, lofty crumb and heady frangipane scent. And every one of them is sized to share – not that you’ll necessarily want to."
