TIPS FOR YUMMY CAKES





Here are a couple of tips that will help you achieve great results with your cakes:




1. Always use the best ingredients. Free range eggs, real butter, coverture chocolate and full cream milk are a great start. Where possible I use organic ingredients.




2. Ensure that your eggs and butter are at room temperature.




3. Have all of your ingredients measured out before you start.




4. Always sift your flour and any other dry ingredients as instructed.




5. Take the time to beat your butter and sugar until it is pale and fluffy.




6. Do not over mix when combining wet and dry ingredients.




7. Ensure the tin is properly lined and the batter is in the corners of the tin.




8. Do not put your cake into the oven until it has reached the correct temperature.




9. Most cakes are best baked in the middle of the oven.




10. DO NOT open the door whilst cooking (no matter how tempting!!!).




11. Use a skewer to check if the cake is cooked. It will come out clean.




Happy Baking!!
