Cakes are a dessert we eat all year round.
Whether it's when I was a child, the big and small cakes that appeared every year at my favorite birthday party.
Or everyday life, breakfast and afternoon tea, cake with milk coffee.
Or a little dessert cake that you're shopping with your sisters.
It's all energetic and fulfilling.
However, the price of the cake eaten outside is still relatively high, and the cake that saw the black swan before was tens of thousands.
Exceptions are the ingredient lists of some cakes where too many additives have been added in order to achieve a good taste.
So making your own cake at home has also become a sweet choice for many families and individuals.
There are many types of cakes, such as chiffon cake, ancient cake, rice cooker cake, sponge cake and so on.
The recipes of various cakes are similar and can also be made more delicious by adding chocolate, fruit, cream, etc.
From a health and cost perspective, it is best to recommend making your own cake at home.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 4 tools necessary for making cakes:</h1>
1. Egg white separator
Usually we make egg dishes at home, such as steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, etc.
The usual operation is to mix the egg whites and yolks and whisk well.
When I was a child, I loved listening to the rhythmic sounds of chopsticks and bowls when I beat eggs.
The eggs, egg whites and yolks that make the cake are separated and made into a meringue and egg yolk paste, respectively.
This separation needs to be done through the egg white separator, manual separation is not pure, will affect the cake.
2. Manual egg beater
Regarding the egg beater, the electric one is used to beat the egg white paste, and the manual one is used to beat the egg yolk paste.
Because the cake is particularly soft after making, when sifting low gluten flour into the egg yolk and stirring it into an egg yolk paste completely free of particles,
It is a manual whisk instead of an electric whisk, and the electric one is easy to make the face rise and affect the taste.
The manual whisk is used due to the freely adjustable force and frequency of the human control, so the advantage is that it is smaller and lighter.
Therefore, when making cakes, there is an electric whisk, and there must also be a manual whisk.
3. Electric egg beater
Electric whisks are very much needed when making cakes and whipping cream.
Because of the high-speed rotation of the motor, the egg white or cream can be fully whipped to a hard foam in a short period of time, which is insurmountable by manpower.
The speed of the electric whisk is generally divided into 3 or 5 gears.
When whipping the meringo, we add sugar to the egg whites three times, and the electric whisks are sent at low, medium and high speeds.
Whisk until hard foaming, lift the electric whisk will have a small sharp corner, use chopsticks to insert the meringue, chopsticks do not fall.
This combination of meringue and egg yolk paste can make a delicious cake that is fluffy and not cracked.
Therefore, the electric egg beater is indispensable in the process of making cakes.
4. Scraper
The scraper corresponds to the cake making the cake by turning and mixing.
The main purpose is to mix the egg yolk paste and meringo cream well until it fits into the oven.
The so-called mixing method, in layman's terms, is like stir-frying.
Literary saying is to use a spatula to stir from the bottom up, the spatula cut vertically, then turn up, repeat until mixed well.
First add the meringue, then stir well, then add the meringue, and mix well.
The third time, you can add the meringue to the egg yolk paste, or you can pour the mixed egg yolk paste into the bowl of the meringue.
Stir well again and the cake batter is ready.
Each tool corresponds to an important part of the cake making process, so 4 tools are necessary.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 3 tips for making cakes</h1>
1, water bath method, if the cake cracks, the water bath method can be effectively alleviated.
Fill a baking sheet with water and put a cake mold wrapped in tin foil inside to keep the surface of the cake moist.
Even if the temperature is not well controlled when baking in this way, the cake can reduce the risk of cracking to a certain extent.
The temperature of the water will not reach 100 degrees, which can ensure that the cake body will not be baked very dry and scorched.
2, temperature, because different ovens, have different tempers.
So maybe someone else can bake the normal cake at the temperature, and your oven may not.
This requires us to further explore in the process of practice, according to the instructions of the oven.
The oven is relatively large, you can put the cake in the middle and lower layers to bake.
If the cake cracks the first time you make it, you can lower the oven temperature the next time you bake it, or reduce the baking time.
For cracked cakes, if the taste is still fluffy and delicious, it is not good-looking.
It is recommended that it can also be remedied by putting on cream, etc.
3, the ratio, baking and our usual home cooking has a significant difference is that the amount of ingredients are more accurate.
We usually cook, and many times the words often used are moderate, such as more salty and saltier, and light can add less.
However, when baking the cake, the amount of ingredients used is accurate, because the accurate collocation can make the whipping go more smoothly.
Everyone is on the road to baking after a failed groping, come up with the most suitable baking recipe, very fulfilling Oh.
