Delightful Dive into the World of Layer Cakes
This July, the BA Bake Club is capturing the hearts of baking enthusiasts with a twist on a Southern classic—Hummingbird Cake. Known for its moist texture and rich flavor, this layered dessert isn't just your average cake; it's a delightful experience. In the latest podcast episode, veteran test kitchen editors Shilpa Uskokovic and Jesse Szewczyk explore their take on this iconic dessert while sharing tips for optimal cake baking.

Shilpa elaborates on her methodology to reinvent the Hummingbird Cake, dissecting traditional components before reconstructing them into a sumptuous creation. The cake, towering delicately with four layers, is paired with luscious cream cheese frosting—a favorite among many bakers. This episode serves as a masterclass not just in recipe creation but in the fundamentals of baking layers, which is often overlooked.
