Hi all!
I missed you!
Now there’s a reason for my disappearing act…I was studying up on cake science. Yup, not cake making but cake science.
My mum has an awesome recipe for butter cake. Sometimes she makes it up to be an orange cake or a chocolate cake or her favourite a sweet cornmeal cake! A bit dense but always yummy, moist and always sticky on top which I love!
It always works and it’s damn easy. So where’s the problem then you ask?
Well it’s great if you have a huge 30cm rectangular cake tin which I don’t. I end up making a 25cm round tin and a smaller 18 cm round tin which always comes out flatter š¦
Trying to adjust cup size portions is also a nightmare!
And bakers come out with cakes all the time so surely there must be a way of understanding “cake” and then play around to get the size and results you want, right?
Also there’s a great Germans chocolate cake recipe that I want to make. I made it before but the cake recipe itself is tricky, extremely thin batter and time consuming so if I get the understanding cake bit right then maybe I can make an easier chocolate cake for my Germans chocolate cake too!
So here are the pics from my first endeavour and I’ll be sharing how my next steps go!
Day 1 was the ratios part and it’s here in tips and tricks.
Day 2 was sweet cornmeal and orange cake. I’ve posted the Orange tea-time cake & soon to come the sweet cornmeal cake!
Day 3 was tasting :))))) They were yummy!!!!
And day 4 (i.e today) will be….I’m not sure yet!!! I’ll Keep you posted!
Cheers!
