This cake is more apples than cake—basically apples stuck together with a thin, crêpe-like batter. We learned this simple, rustic Bolzano apple cake in northern Italy, from home cook Franca Giuliani. The magic was in its throw-it-together simplicity and ease almost of a pancake; and, similarly, the cake puffed slightly, like a Dutch baby, around the pile of thin-sliced apples. It's in a vein of simple apple cakes that have long charmed apple pie lover Chris Kimball.

After a lifetime of soggy waffles, Chris Kimball FINALLY decided to investigate why: everyone's just pouring pancake batter into a waffle iron. That gives you one uniform texture—no contrast between exterior and interior. A great waffle should be two things at once: crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. The solution is two-fold: cornstarch for a lighter crumb and a can of cold seltzer, which aerates the batter and creates a remarkably crispy shell. Brown the butter for depth of flavor (you're melting it anyway).

One of the best recipes you've never heard of is...Whipped Cream Cake! It's the answer to finicky genoise, which is a cake invented by the French to irritate (according to Chris). Unlike the genoise—a pain to get right, often dry and flavorless anyway—American whipped cream cake relies not on egg whites, but whipped cream. This is genius because whipped cream 1) is more forgiving than egg whites, and more stable, 2) provides volume to the crumb by trapping air, 3) incorporates moisture, and 4) adds richness and flavor. According to James Beard, this cake dates back to when home cooks skimmed cream from the top of milk pans and milk bottles—it was a practical, resourceful way to bake. And it may be the best single-layer cake we've ever made at Milk Street.
