No yet, will try when I cut it.

I've made a few cakes out of that book.  We've liked them all except for the Mostly Apples one.

[OlyveOyl]

@ElsieD I tried one apple and thought it was very uninteresting!The title of the book  is actually “Snacking Cakes”, not Snackable as I inadvertently titled it.

The ones I've made, some more than once are Swirled Jam Cake page 68, Salty Caramel Peanut Butter Cake p.109, Sparkling Gingerbread P. 123, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake P. 151.  I did not care for Mostly Apples Cake P.53 or the Powdered Donut Cake p. 93.  One i have bookmarked to make is All the Spices Cake P. 88.  Which ones have you made?

Some of those from the book sound real interesting.

When you have talked about the cakes from this book I have usually Googled them and been able to find them on the Internet.

@ElsieD From the “ Snacking Bakes” book, I’ve made the peanut butter and jam cake twice, once with pistachio butter, once with hazelnut butter.  Also made the Mazurkas which were very good but unbearable sweet.

From the “Snacking Cakes” book, in addition to the Cocoa Yogurt Cake which I’ve made several times with sour cream rather than yogurt.  I’ve also made the Grapefruit White Chocolate cake, Lemon/Lime variation which again was terribly sweet.  And last, the Powdered Donut Cake, I’ve made it twice using self rising flour, we enjoyed it. 😁

All of the recipes came from internet sources @Tropicalsenior

Looks like you made a modification with what looks like some sort of jam/preserves

[OlyveOyl]

@ElsieD @oli That is the Powdered Donut cake with red currant jelly.

I have Snacking Cakes but not Bakes. My favorite recipe from that book is the Simple Sesame Cake.I just love it. And it is fabulous toasted the next morning for breakfast. I agree that the Mostly Apple cake was not great. The Coconut lime cake was good, but you have to really love coconut, since the flavor is intense. I made the doughnut cake and it was good but not outstanding. I've tried a lot of doughnut cakes and finally admit that none have been as good as a good donut. The jam swirl cake was meh.
