What are Snack Cakes?
It’s a great question! Food & Wine describes snack cakes as:
While I don’t disagree with this traditional definition, I’m broadening the term to also include snacking “breads” that are more like cake than bread.
They’re easy, delicious, and fit the category in my mind. They may or may not have frosting, which is always an option to eliminate.
What Then are Anytime Snack Cakes?
It’s probably intuitive, but to me, Anytime Snack Cakes are cakes that are completely easy to make, with simple ingredients everyone loves.
When I think of Anytime Cakes, banana, blueberry, streusels, almonds, berries and apples easily come to mind.
Baking technique differ only slightly in baking times. Some of these anytime cakes will bake in square pans, some in loaf pans, others in simple Bundt pans and some in rounds.
I hope you find something new to bake today… that will satisfy a cake craving… anytime!
