Around the World in 80 Cakes (Ruby Bhogal)

Jam-packed with cake, Around the World in 80 Cakes is a joyful love affair with the world's most irresistible bakes.

'A book to bake from, travel through and treasure.' - HELEN GOH

'Thoughtfully developed and beautifully refined' - RAVNEET GILL

Travel across continents from the comfort of your own kitchen, baking your way from Europe to the Americas, Asia to Oceania and everywhere in between.

Every recipe is a delicious passport to another corner of the world, including:

• the rich layers of coffee, chocolate and almond in French Opera Cake
• the delicate, coconutty sweetness of Singapore's beloved Pandan Cake
• the pillowy sponge and marzipan cloak of Swedish Princess Cake
• the airy indulgence of meringue, whipped cream and fruit in Uruguayan Chajá
• the cashew crunch wrapped in velvety buttercream in Filipino Sans Rival

Perfect for weekend baking projects, marking a special occasion, or simply craving something new, Ruby invites bakers of every level to explore extraordinary flavours, unexpected textures and the pleasure of sharing a slice of cake.

After spending what seemed like an eternity studying for a MA in Architecture, Ruby Bhogal spent ten months living with her parents, applying for every job under the sun and watching far too many episodes of Bargain Hunt. During a dark period of unemployment, baking provided Ruby with a productive outlet to regain some order in her life. While her love of baking began as a meditative hobby, it soon provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete as a finalist on the Great British Bake Off in 2018. Since then, she has acquired a huge (and loyal) following online and makes regular appearances in print, at live events and on TV, where her confidence and chatty personality shines through.
