Baking in coffee cans goes back to the early 1900‘s, when people didn’t necessarily have all the fancy pots and pans that we have today. They used whatever they had and since coffee came in cans that held a pound of coffee, it was handy to use them for baking and for cooking. Today, there are still some recipes that are traditionally baked in cans. This book was written to help people explore the fun of baking things the old fashioned way - in coffee cans. To help get you started, the book contains 50 recipes for cakes, quick breads and yeast breads that you can bake in the cans. The recipes combine both traditional coffee can recipes and modern recipes that have been re-imagined for this exciting and fun baking style. Most of the recipes are not complicated and do not require special equipment. The book explains what cans you can or should not use. It also describes how to prepare the cans and what ingredients are used in the preparation of the recipes. It gives a source for buying the cans with the book or separately. Many of the recipes use similar methods of preparation to keep things simple. These recipes can also be baked in standard baking pans with an adjustment to baking times. Sometimes what’s old is new. If you love baking, you will love The Coffee Can Baking Book.
