9 Simple Gâteaux You Can Bake Without a Mixer
Not every cake needs a stand mixer. These gâteaux use a bowl, a whisk, and a pan you already own, which is how most home baking actually happens.
Yogurt Cake with Olive Oil
The yogurt keeps the crumb moist for days. Olive oil gives it a quiet savory note that vanilla cake never has.
Cocoa Snack Cake in a Square Pan
One bowl, one pan, no layers. Dust with sugar while it is warm if you do not want frosting.
Orange Almond Cake
Ground almonds replace some of the flour, so the cake stays tender. It is better the next day, which is rare for a simple bake.
Banana Cake with Brown Sugar Top
Use bananas that are past pretty. The darker they are, the less extra sugar you need.
