Make cakes that need no frostings, like the fruity Victorian Applesauce Cake, nut-laden Party Cake, Orange Upside-Down Cake.

Make Orange Upside-Down Cake without topping and serve as Cottage Pudding.

Light, luscious cakes are one of the best ways in which to “spend” some of your sugar. Now, more than ever, when you make a cake, you want it to be the best cake. Sugar—and other ingredients, too—are precious, sometimes scarce. Get the most out of them by using these tested, sure recipes. Make the finest cakes you ever made—cakes that are well worth the cup or two of sugar “saved up for their making.”
