Secrets From the Pros: Cake Baking

Whether you only bake cakes at birthdays or enjoy them as a dessert year round, it’s possible to make your cakes as delicious as those purchased at an excellent bakery. Just try these easy tips.

Keep it warm

All the cake ingredients should be room temperature before you begin mixing them together.

Fruit puree

Use equal amounts of fruit puree and oil in your cakes. The fruit not only adds flavor, it keeps the cake moist and makes boxed cake mixes more like “from scratch” cakes. Just be sure to reduce the amount of liquid the recipe calls for by half.

An unlikely ingredient

Add ¼ cup of mayonnaise to your cake recipes or boxed cake mixes. It sounds dubious at best, but it keeps cakes light and moist.

Let it rise

To make any cake more fluffy, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of meringue powder to the dry ingredients.

Beat it

Cream your butter for at least 5 minutes. The more you beat it, the more air will enter it, making for a lighter, fluffier cake.

Be choosey

Select a good recipe. If you’ve never tried the recipe before, choose a reliable source, like these cake recipes on videos.

It’s in the pan

Shiny metal pans are best for cake baking. Glass baking dishes or dark baking pans absorb more heat, making it more difficult to create a thoroughly baked but moist cake.

Paper

To give 100 percent assurance your cake won’t stick to the pan, line the bottom with waxed or parchment paper. Lay the paper out on a flat surface, place the bottom of the cake pan on top of it, and trace around the pan with a pen. Cut out the waxed paper, lightly coat the pan with cooking spray, and put the paper in place. Once the cake is baked and cool, the paper easily peels off.

Dusting

To rid your cakes of white flour dustings, dust your pans with some of the dry cake mix. Or, for chocolate cake, dust with cocoa.

Fill ‘er up

Fill your cake pans only halfway. This allows the cake to rise more evenly.

Check the temp

If your cakes have valleys or hills in them, or if the tops brown before the cake is completely baked, your oven temperature is probably incorrect. To remedy this, simply place a portable oven thermometer inside your oven and adjust your oven’s temperature as necessary.

Know when it’s done

The best way to know a cake is done is to poke the center with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes back clean, the cake is finished. Other methods of testing a cake’s doneness may lead to over baking and dryness.

Let it rest

Once the cake is out of the oven, always let it rest 5 to 8 minutes before you do anything to it. This prevents the cake from crumbling when you place it on a plate.

Apply several coats

Pros always put a “crumb icing” on cakes before proceeding with decorating. This ensures a smooth, even icing job. To create a crumb icing, thin down some frosting with a little water until it looks like a glaze. You should be able to apply it with a knife – barely. When the cake is just cooled, spread the glaze over the cake. Let the cake sit this way for 30 minutes, then procede with a traditional frosting.

Simple, mouth watering desserts from scratch?

I want to make something yummy for Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I’m not an extreme chef, I’m just an average cook.
What are some relatively easy dessert recipes? Oh, and I love chocolate…
Nothing with pre-made stuff, like the Jello box or Betty Crocker cakes, I don’t want to buy anything. I have everything I need probably.

do you sift flour that your making chocolate chip cookies from???

I attempted to make choc-o-chip cookies the other day for my daughter and christmas. I followed the recipe on the back of a bag of nestle toll house chocolate chips. I ran all dry ingredients through a sifter before mixing. Is this where I went wrong??? I was so excited until i checked on them and they weren’t melting! And were done, but in round balls, and came out cake or bread like. not cookies. i told my 8yr old they were choco-chip cookie balls! Help

Oreo Cake Recipe From Good Housekeeping?

Last year for christmas I made an Oreo Cake from a recipe that was in an issue of Good Housekeeping. When I moved I threw all my old magazines away, not even thinking that i might need that recipe again. Well my niece and nephew want me to make the cake for them again this year and I promised them I would thinking i could find the recipe online, Well i have search everywhere and can not find a that recipe or even on similar.. It was made with a chocolate cake, It was a double layer cake, I think it had some kind of cream cheese filling in between the layers, and I know the frosting was make with whipping cream. and there were crushed oreos on the outside of the cake. I was wondering if maybe someone has the issue of Good House Keeping, I know that it is over a year old but maybe someone kept it, or know a recipe that sounds very similar, or a web site that i can get it from, I have already tried to go to the Good Housekeeping web site, it wasnt there.
I dont know what month its was from

I want to make a chocolate cake from scratch for my niece’s first birthday but have never done that before?

I have made cake from mixes where I add water, oil, and eggs so I figure that can be a back up if I mess up.

I’ll be using two round pans and one will be fore her and the other will be for the adults.

Thanks for your help.
