Steps
Make vanilla cake
Make chocolate sponge cake
- “Wet ingredients” in a cake recipe are ingredients that have moisture. Sugar is also classified as a wet ingredient even when it is not wet at all.
- Wet ingredients are usually stirred first. The dry ingredients will be mixed in another bowl and added later.
- It is important that you prepare the butter with the correct texture required by the sponge cake recipe. If you use melted butter when the recipe calls for softened butter, the cake will deflate. [14] X Research Source In this case, the recipe calls for softened butter. You can plan ahead by placing the butter on the counter while you prepare the other ingredients; This will give the butter time to come to room temperature.
- Check the cake regularly to make sure it doesn’t burn. However, you should only do this by looking through the glass on the oven door instead of opening the door, to avoid lowering the temperature inside the oven and increasing baking time.
Make apple sponge cake
- To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the bowl, dip the apples in the flour before adding them to the flour mixture. [31] X Research Source
- Add whipped cream on top of the cake if you like. [34] X Research Sources
Follow the instructions in the recipe
- Put some flour in the mold, rotate the mold to make sure the dough adheres evenly, then shake to remove excess flour and set the mold aside.
- Avoid opening the oven door while baking as the heat will escape and the cake will not bake evenly. If possible, turn on the oven lights and observe the cake through the glass on the oven door.
- Wait for the cake to cool completely before decorating as the heat will melt the icing. You can spread the cream and decorate the cake to your liking.
Advice
- When the recipe calls for cold ingredients like butter or cream cheese at room temperature, you’ll peel off the wrapping, then place the ingredients in a bowl and set on the counter for 30-60 minutes to soften. You can test the softness of an ingredient by pressing a fork or your finger into it.
- Don’t spread the icing on the cake before it cools down. This will cause the cake to deform and the cream will either run down the side of the cake or not stick to the cake.
- Do not mix the dough more than necessary.
- Always make sure the pan is evenly spread with butter.
- If you keep trying to get the hot cake out of the mold, it will break and fall apart.
- Use high-quality aluminum molds for even baking and best results.
- Follow the instructions in each recipe you use.
- Use a toothpick to check if the cake is cooked through.
- Check the amount of ingredients you have measured before adding them to the mixing bowl. An excess or lack of a few tablespoons of flour can seriously affect the texture of the finished product.
- To make vegan cakes, you will use vegetable oil or melted coconut oil instead of butter. Replace eggs with apple sauce, such as using ¼ cup of apple sauce to replace 1 egg.
Warning
- Do not allow small children and pets to approach when you open the door of a hot oven.
- The temperature in the oven may not be evenly distributed, so you need to pay attention to the cake to avoid burning.
- Always wear kitchen gloves or protective gloves when taking the cake out of the oven to avoid burns.
Things you need
- Measuring tools
- Hand or desktop egg beater
- Cake mold
- Toothpicks (or wooden skewers)
- dredge
- Griller
- Kitchen gloves or protective gloves
- Blister for cake
