When you bake cakes and other desserts at home, to ensure that the texture is perfect, an amalgamation of soft and creamy, moist and airy and yet having a stable and consistent structure, you need to keep in mind a few things such as:
- The temperature of each and every ingredient should be kept in mind. They should all be at room temperature and just the butter should be slightly warm so that it melts easily. If certain ingredients are either too cold or too hot, the cake will not have a consistent and a good texture.
- Some cake recipes require you to just use the egg yolks while some require you to just use the egg whites. Pay attention to the recipe and ensure you use the correct part of the egg. Eggs are an essential ingredient and one of the best to ensure that your cakes turn out to be soft and moist.
- You also need to pay attention to the kind of flour that you are rising to bake the cake. Both choosing the right kind of flour as well as folding and mixing it carefully is an important aspect to get a cake that is soft and moist.
