Cake making is both an art and a science, requiring precise measurements, temperature control, and the right techniques.
-
Choosing a Method – There are several cake-making techniques, including:
- Creaming Method – Butter and sugar are beaten together until light and fluffy, then eggs and dry ingredients are added.
- All-in-One Method – All ingredients are mixed together at once, making it quick and easy.
- Melting Method – Butter is melted before mixing with other ingredients, resulting in a moist and dense cake.
- Whisking Method – Eggs and sugar are whisked together to incorporate air, creating a light sponge.
- Rubbing-in Method – Fat is rubbed into flour before adding liquid, commonly used for scones and crumbles.
-
Mixing the Batter – Ingredients are combined according to the chosen method, ensuring a smooth and well-incorporated mixture.
-
Baking – The batter is poured into a greased pan and baked at the appropriate temperature until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling and Decorating – Cakes are cooled before being frosted or decorated with icing, fruit, or other toppings.
