So many chefs seem to cooking under a false premise that most of the cake and everything is still somewhat difficult. Almost as if there is a mystical art to cook, and you're a special kind of person a "bakers" before your cake turns out to be reasonable. It 'also true that other chefs cooking approach almost obsessively. The treatment process rather than a science than an art, as obsessively weigh out each ingredient the last program for fear That iffollow a recipe to the letter will never get their pies. It is true that this approach works, but removes most of the fun in the kitchen. However, if you know some rules, then your cake is perfect and can come at any time.
The truth is that the cake to work for what you need is air in the mix … looking very …
But before you get to do and how to bake a cake, a brief history lesson. Why modern cakes (at least the way we cookthem today) are relatively new invention, starting in Italy during the first half of the 18th Century. By 1740 this "Italian style" pies "were the rage in London. So what has changed? Well, before 1700 had the traditional cake baking yeast. Cakes were basically just sweetened bread. But with the new techniques, yeast was replaced by egg white.
As yeast grows, it converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and these bubbles are carbonincreases in carbon dioxide taken in the dough or batter) made a cake (and bread. When proteins have beaten and how they have become rigid air pockets not the molecules of protein in them. This case expands the air and fired array because the cake. ascension
In fact, there is nothing new in this process and it is no wonder that the trend started in Europe. In fact, the Romans used this technique to make great cakes and the traditional "sponge cake (Spanish bread) hada staple of Sicilian cuisine for centuries.
The transition from yeast to egg mixture active was a big step to change the way they were baked cakes. However, it was only during the Victorian era, the modern cake as we know it today began to be cooked. Yeast suddenly fallen out of fashion, as the emergence of choice and soda (baking powder or baking soda), was all the rage. In fact, the yeast, which is very similar yeast. Contact with acids or water and heatFree soda breaks down into carbon dioxide and the gas expands in the oven makes love to an increase in cake and gives soft and smooth texture that we all do.
Add half a tablespoon of "baking" finely ground flour cake before it was one of anger. So much so that manufacturers started to add flour to flour, so that the flour sometimes also known as cake) flour was born (. But if they have no just addteaspoon baking powder 200g Backmehl.
In the heart of a cake is a mixture of cream butter (or margarine) and sugar, eggs and flour has his first crush. The secret of every cake is complete and do all we can add as much air mixture.
The inclusion of the air starting with the first process involved to make cakes: the skimming together butter (or margarine) and sugar. Do this with force … and if the recipe calls for, pale cream and cream do exactly that. The mixture should really paler than when you started, butter and sugar is completely smooth and incorporated into law. Even playing with maximum force, because this is the first step in the tin air into the dough to take over.
Then, in more traditional cake batters, usually add eggs to pasta. This makes the dough more liquid, but also as a scaffold for the last act of cooked> Cakes retain their shape and also add flavor. And 'the protein in eggs (whites) that can structure and fat (egg yolk), add flavor. In taking the eggs in butter cream eggs always easy and take just a little 'egg at a time. The deeper we can best combine the eggs with the butter, mix cake mix to be. After all, it is moist, which makes the sweet butterand the eggs that we think fit.
But in view of the cake in the oven is actually perhaps the most important factor is increasing for cake is flour. You can always use the best and finest flour. With self-rising for the convenience, but the flour, yeast is added, also works. When you always use a bowl sift the flour before use. This eliminates the lumps, also separates the flour particles. This is all leading to more airmixture of cake, but it also means that every particle of flour Mix butter can be smeared in cake and held better. You're always going to the office of the flour particles to hold together and maybe give you a piece of raw meal in the center of the cake.
To add the flour, egg and butter mix in flour then fold the tip into the egg mixture does not mix. This means that instead of using a stirring round and round (acting onRemove the 'air pasta), and use the up and down, which brings more air into the mix active and gives you a lighter cake at the end. At this point, never, never, never mind the cake flour in baking as it is already converted to carbon dioxide and is faster and more cake in the oven is better to be well absorbed.
Typically a moderate oven (170 ° C
