Reference: 2 Ways to Make Delicious, Simple Christmas Treats
Checking the Cake
To check if the cake is done, press it with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out dry, it means the cake is done.
Cupcakes and Muffins
For cupcakes or muffins, leave them in the tray for 5 seconds after taking them out of the oven. This will help them retain their shape.
If you want to heat up muffins, simply put them in the microwave on high heat for 20 seconds.
When making cupcakes, remember to take the milk or cream out of the refrigerator for 30 minutes before starting to make the cake.
Rolling Out the Cake Dough
To roll out the cake dough evenly, you can place two equal wooden sticks under both ends of the rolling pin. Also, refrigerate the dough before rolling for layered cakes.
Tips for Making Sponge Cake and Cream Cake
Placing a slice of bread on top of the sponge cake when waiting for it to cool will make the cake more moist and soft.
Use a toothpick to sketch the letters before using cream to outline the letters on the cake.
Tips for Making Cookies
Shaping and placing the cookies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes helps them maintain their shape after baking.
Cake Flour
To make the cake lighter, replace 1 part of wheat flour with cornstarch. The wheat flour should not exceed 1/3 of the total amount of flour.
Baking the Cake
If the baking or reheating time is over 20 seconds, rotate the cake mold after the first 20 seconds. Avoid opening the oven in the first 20 seconds.
Sugar – Butter for Making Cakes
When making cakes, using brown sugar or palm sugar will make the cake more moist and mildly sweet compared to white sugar.
