Baking is one of the most blissful things you can do in the kitchen. Even simple things like making banana bread can really lift up your mood. However, we tend to get disappointed every time we fail at making something. Therefore, these small tips can help you go long way.
Mastering the measurements
It’s critical to accurately measure the ingredients and their quantities as a general rule. Any change to the ingredient quantities would have an effect on the outcome. Additional butter or oil will make the cake excessively wet, which will cause it to lose its shape.
Make sure the mixture is creamed
The process of ‘creaming,’ which involves beating the butter and sugar together, should produce a smooth mixture free of lumps and separation. This step’s time and consistency building are critical for incorporating air into your cake batter and producing an airy, soft, and risen cake.
Always have the right temperature
It’s crucial to use the right oven temperature to enable the cake to rise while preserving its structure so that it won’t sink in the middle after cooling. The cake will set up too quickly before the air bubbles have time to form if the oven is too hot. The cake will rise excessively and fall in the center before setting if the oven is not heated sufficiently.
