Rose Levy Beranbaum

Rose Levy Beranbaum is an American baker, cookbook author and blogger.

She pioneered the reverse creaming technique of cake-making. In this process, the fat and flour are mixed first before adding the remaining ingredients. By coating the flour in fat, gluten development is inhibited, helping to prevent toughness. This is in contrast to the usual creaming technique, which first mixes fat and sugar.

Beranbaum has noted that she was heavily influenced by Julia Child and James Beard.

She has been married to Woody Wolston since 2021.
