Making cakes can indeed be both challenging and rewarding, moms and sisters. You can either attend culinary school or learn through self-study while practicing “learning by doing,” because with practice, eventually you’ll become proficient in making cakes.
In the olden days, cooking was a duty for every woman to master. Even from a young age, women were accustomed to learning how to cook. Talking about this or making cakes, surely everyone has made mistakes, whether they are experts or beginners who are just learning.
Whether it’s about texture, recipes, or other things like burnt cakes, everyone has faced challenges in the kitchen. To learn from these experiences, here are some common mistakes and their solutions to achieve excellent results when making cakes.
Recipe
When wanting to make a cake, indeed we can browse the internet to find the recipes. And usually, the recipe comes with its measurements, right moms and sisters, so it’s best to follow the measurements of the recipe and not guess, because the amount of ingredients used is already suitable for the final result of the cake you will make, moms and sisters.
Dough
When you need to knead the dough, avoid kneading it for too long, as it will affect the texture of the cake, moms and sisters. Mixing with a mixer or beating by hand manually is the same, it’s best for moms and sisters not to knead the dough for too long so that when it’s baked, the cake doesn’t become hard or dense.
Cake Mold
When moms and sisters are about to put the cake into the mold and ready to bake, don’t forget to grease the mold with butter so that the cake doesn’t stick or damage the shape of the cake later. It may seem trivial, but it has a significant impact on the final result of the cake, moms and sisters.
Flour
Have moms and sisters ever poured flour directly into the batter? If you have done it before and often, moms and sisters should change it by sifting the flour first. Why is that? Because sifting the flour will separate the particles and make it easier to mix with the liquid. So when baked, the cake will have a softer texture.
Oven
When the cake is ready to be placed in the oven, avoid opening the oven door too often while the cake is baking. Because it will affect the final result of the cake, and the oven temperature will also decrease. If you want to check the doneness, you can do so by inserting a toothpick when the baking time is almost finished. If there is still batter sticking to the toothpick, then the cake is not yet done. Conversely, if nothing sticks, it means your cake is done. You can check it with a toothpick or skewer, moms and sisters.
Here are the steps you should pay attention to when baking a cake, moms and sisters. When the cake is cooked and removed from the oven, let it cool first. Do not immediately cut the cake or even eat it, so that it absorbs properly and does not break or crumble when you want to cut it.
Good luck and hopefully successful, moms and sisters! Use Gusto flour for your convenience when you want to make cakes with the best quality flour.
