Baking for Two: 200+ Small-Batch Recipes, from Lazy Bakes to Layer Cakes is a hardcover cookbook by America's Test Kitchen, published on February 4, 2025. With 368 pages, it revolutionizes small-batch baking by scaling sweet and savory recipes down to size without the usual small-batch pitfalls — no calculators needed to scale recipes, no measuring half an egg, no buying a full container of an ingredient just to use a tablespoon, and no stale leftovers.

The book offers 200+ big-flavor recipes perfectly sized for two, with yields that eliminate waste. Recipes include options for conventional ovens, toaster ovens, and air fryers, giving flexible preparation choices for every kitchen. Many recipes are designed so that extra portions can be frozen and baked off individually as needed — from Cranberry-Cardamom Muffins baked from frozen batter to make-ahead Croissants. The cookbook also features everyday indulgences like Coffee-Toffee Cookie dough balls kept in the freezer and impressive Everything Bagel Danishes made from store-bought puff pastry. Pan options are provided throughout, accommodating baby Bundts, petite cake pans, muffin tins, ramekins, and standard pans interchangeably. Highlights include Blueberry-Lavender Cornmeal Crumbles, 6-inch Vanilla and Passionfruit Layer Cake, Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits, and Molten Chocolate Microwave Mug Cakes.
