Baking Tips - Part 3

1. If a cake recipe calls for butter, get it almost to room temperature, but slightly cooler. It’ll warm up when mixed.
2. Don’t substitute baking soda and baking powder.
3. When measuring flour, don’t pack it down into the measuring cup.
4. Prepare your pans well, so you don’t waste time making the perfect cake, only to have it stuck in the pan.
5. Check your oven temperature.
6. When adding chocolate chips or fruit bits into your cake batter, coat them with flour to help keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
7. Do freeze your baked cakes.
8. Stop worrying about getting flat tops on your baked cakes.
9. When mixing up your cake batter, don’t skip out on scraping down the bowl.
10. When baking cakes with fruit in them like banana, carrot, zucchini or pumpkin, let them sit overnight before serving them.
