5 Common Problems to Solve For Baking a Perfect Cake www.chefibpa.com

The very first problem that we will discuss is the getting peaks and cracks in your cake. This is a minor level problem but it clearly ruins the look of your cake eventually leading to the dissatisfaction of your customers. This happens because of three reasons.

1. 2. 3.

If you have put too much raising agent in the mixture it leads the cake above its limit.

If you have chosen a smaller tin incapable of holding the cake comfortably.

The set temperature is so high that it causes the cake to rise uncontrollably.

The solution for this is simple. Double all your measurements about cake, tin, mixture, and temperature.

1.PeaksandCracks:

The cake is a fine soft light dish with toppings on it. If your cake is not light, it will give an unpleasant feeling in your customer’s mind. The lightness of any cake depends on the air bubble in it. Air bubble lowers the density and gives the cake a soft fluffy feel. To create air bubbles in the cake, you need to beat the batter. You need to beat it for enough time so that the right amount of air bubbles get created. Adding eggs to the cake earlier than required is another reason for the cake being denser. Make sure that you aren't eager in the process and patiently wait for the right time for each step of the cake baking process.

2.YourCakeisTooDense:

3.OverflowingoftheMixture:

Knowing a recipe is good but you need to understand that it’s not enough. Overflowing the mixture is a very common problem that newcomers face. Choosing a smaller size tin is the sole reason for it. There is no tip for solving this challenge other than checking the measurements again and again. Notably, with time and practice, you will automatically master it. Another thing Overfill it and your cake will overflow in the oven. If you have a bigger pan and not enough batter, you'll find yourself with a cake with a disappointing shape.

If you check the baking process too often. Opening the oven door too often lets the cool outside air come into and affects the cake in the center. The cake was not cooked for long enough so that each part got baked properly. Using too much raising agent in your cakes is another reason for cake sinking. If you leave the cake mixture out for too long. Another very common problem for cake bakers is a sunken cake. This happens because of three reasons.

1. 2. 3. 4. 4.Sunken:

This baking mistake happens to everyone. The mistake happens when you misunderstand the cake’s condition by getting a glimpse of the brownish appearance on the top. In reality, the cake is still raw in its centre. To prevent this mistake, you need to reconsider the temperature and the baking mode. Make sure that you have chosen the right baking mode. Set your cake in the oven at the centre. Don’t set your temperature too high so that it eventually burns the top layer and leaves the cake’s center untouched. Also, make sure the tin you use must not too small.

5.BurntontheOutsidebutUncookedontheInside:

Conclusion:

A cake made with the right amount of ingredients and love will surely win your heart but the sight of the cake is also very much important in baking.
