Layer Cakes, Cookies & Sweet Bakes

Rachel Moore, cake and cookie baker – tender cakes, crisp cookies and bakes with clear steps.

Profile:

Rachel Moore's recipes start with the classics: butter cakes, pound cakes, pumpkin cakes and fruit pies, plus a growing shelf of cookies such as vanilla wafers, peanut butter blossoms and egg yolk butter cookies. Roughly half of her work sits in Cakes, with most of the rest in Cookies, and a handful of bars and copycat bakes round it out.

What sets her recipes apart is the reasoning behind each step. Instead of only listing ingredients, she explains how the details shape the result: why butter should be at a certain temperature, what mixing longer does to a crumb, and how a frosting holds up between layers. Quick bakes like scones, muffins, cornbread and baked oatmeal sit alongside slower projects such as a ricotta brick cake or a layered cherry dessert, so there is something for a weeknight and something for a weekend.
