The 3 Big Oversights When Baking Cake

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


If you want to talk about the pastry arts, as the broad topic it is, cake baking should be noted. With so many types to be prepared - cheese, layered, and rainbow cookie being some of the more popular ones - it's important for chefs to know how to go about this. Even though cooking can be a challenge, it's clear that cakes can still be made well. From what I have seen, part of this comes from recognizing mistakes and ways in which they can be prevented.

There may be a number of reasons why a particular cake isn't quite up to par with what was expected. Some of the most common reasons include a dry texture or a lack of moisture; either of these can make a cake taste bad. Aspects like these can come to the surface due to poor culinary practices, which means that missteps should be noted. As long as you adhere to this 3-point list, there will be no denying the fact that your cake will be that much better.

One of the mistakes that can be made, as far as baking cake is concerned, is not stirring ingredients appropriately. One of the reasons for this is that you have several elements to account for, ranging from butter to eggs, meaning that different densities will be had. You have to make sure that mixing is done well so that you're left with a smoother base. When it comes to preparing cake, this is one of the direr mistakes that must be corrected.

As the cake starts to bake, make sure that the oven door is kept shut at all times. There is a certain temperature that said oven entails, meaning that exposure to different temperatures can affect the way in which the cake is baked. It wouldn't be out of the question to assume that the cake in question would fall. With this in mind, make sure that the oven door is kept sealed, lest you run the risk of coming away with a less satisfactory cake.

You should also make sure that your cake is given enough time to cool down. Many novice chefs make the mistake of cutting into their cake too soon, which can result in a stickier product or one that is flatter than it should be. Simply put, without giving your product time to acclimate itself to a different temperature, less appealing results will rise. Give your cake the time it needs to cool and your patience will soon pay off.
