You know the wonder of sheet pan dinners. But what about sheet pan cakes? Our Baking Together columnist Abby Dodge has brilliantly delivered an easier approach to cake making in her 12th cookbook, Sheet Cake: Easy One-Pan Recipes for Every Day and Every Occasion, just out from Clarkson Potter.

Starting with all the technique and equipment help you could ask for and moving through Abby’s three cake styles – classic, rolled, and stacked – this is a fun and inviting cookbook that makes you want to head right into the kitchen, pull out your 13 x 18 x 1-inch sheet pan, and make that Red Velvet Cake with Vanilla-Cream Cheese Frosting. Which you could since Abby and Clarkson Potter have kindly shared the recipe with Cook the Vineyard.

But I wouldn’t stop there. You’ll want all the helpful tips in the book, plus the 50 recipes for just about any occasion: Carrot Cake with Orange Buttercream, White Chocolate Coconut Cake, Cinnamon Bun Swirl Cake, Go Big or Go Home Sprinkle Cake, Boston Cream Cake, Tiramisu Cake, Frozen Mexican Brownie Cake and all the rest. Oh, and by the way, I love the sweet design of Sheet Cake (and I’m super picky about this!). From the size of the book to the typography to the generous photographs, the book manages to feel modern and accessible at the same time.
