Anyone Can Cake: Bonus Recipes!

October 31, 2023 · In: Featured, Lifestyle

Exciting news, people! I have some sweet BONUS RECIPES for everyone who orders Anyone Can Cake between now and December 25th, 2023! These are four delicious layer cake recipes that would have been in the book had there been room, and I’m so excited to offer them as an extra exclusive extension of the book. Whether you’re thinking about gifting a copy of Anyone Can Cake this Holiday season OR ordering one for yourself, now is the perfect time for maximum recipes. Here’s how to download your Bonus Recipes eBook:

Step 1: Order a copy of Anyone Can Cake by Christmas Day, 2023. If you live outside the United States, here are links to additional retailers that ship worldwide.

Step 2: Email proof of your order (a screenshot of your confirmation) to accbonusrecipes@gmail.com with “Bonus Recipes” in the subject line.

Step 3: Click the download link in your email response + enjoy the recipes! Be sure to tag me on Instagram to show me your bakes 🙂

The Bonus Recipes

Here’s a look at the four bonus recipes you’ll get in this eBook:

Banana Biscoff CAKE with salted Caramel drip

In my humble opinion, the best way to use overripe bananas is to bake them into a banana cake. Not just any banana cake though, one that’s extra moist, packed with banana flavor, and has that perfect stick-to-the-back-of-your-fork crumb. This is my favorite banana cake recipe ever for those very reasons, and it’s leveled up even more when paired with Biscoff frosting and salted caramel!

Earl Grey Cake with Lavender Buttercream

This is the kind of cake that could brighten any dreary day: layers of Earl Grey tea-infused cake with notes of bergamot, paired with the most delightful lavender buttercream that’s perfectly balanced. The magic of steeping is what gives this cake such a beautiful flavor throughout – you’ll be steeping the tea leaves in simmering milk for the cake and dried lavender in simmering milk for the buttercream. There’s something really rustic and comforting about flavoring the cake this way, and the result is just right.

Zebra Cake with Chocolate Buttercream

This cake may seem completely unassuming on the outside (although the chocolate buttercream swirls do look delicious), but once you see the inside it becomes an absolute showstopper! There are chocolate and vanilla stripes magically baked into each cake layer and every slice is a thing of wonder.

Nutella Fluffernutter Cake

Whoever thought of sandwiching marshmallow creme and peanut butter between two slices of bread was really onto something. I thought I’d take the idea a few steps further by turning the classic fluffernutter into a layer cake and adding a little Nutella into the mix to take it beyond!

The Bonus Recipes eBook also includes headnotes, gorgeous photos, make ahead tips, and additional recipes for DIY versions of buttermilk and cake flour. It also looks like the layout of the actual book, so you’ll get a little sneak peek of that too.

Thanks so much to everyone ordering Anyone Can Cake, I hope these bonus recipes help sweeten the waiting between now and when your book arrives!

    I ordered the Black Dutched Cocoa powder at the beginning of December and never got it. My confirmation # is 34747S52535. I’ve hunted your website for a way to get help and this is all I could find. Can you help me, please?

      Hi Dayna! I don’t sell the cocoa powder, but I have linked to that product on amazon before. You’ll need to reach out to Amazon or the place you ordered the black cocoa powder from.

      Hi Betty! The Bonus Recipes eBook came with pre-orders only but I am planning on finding a way to offer the bonus recipes separately! I didn’t realize how popular they would be 🙂 Stay tuned.

    I wish I had found your page sooner! These bonus recipes look amazing. Do you think you’ll ever sell them for us who missed out? I plan to get your book next week when I get paid. My 8!year old watched some of your reels with me and is super excited to start making cakes.
