The recipe book I had explained it as an easy cake recipe but it’s all gone wrong! The butter was too hard, the batter was runny and the cake itself ended up burned to a cinder with sunken middle.

You can now found here some great tips assisting you to help prefect your easy cake recipe baking skills which will make both you, and your dog; more consistently delighted with your cake creations.

To prepare your tin. Rub the inside of the tin generously with butter, lard or margarine afterwards you can use the wrappers for greasing, if that’s what you bought them in). Easy Cake Recipes usually ask you to line the tin with grease proof paper or you could just use aluminium foil, as its a bit easier to use, especially for the corners. when a round tin is being used, lining it can be awkward but you are able to buy precut shapes to make this easier. When it comes to making fruit cakes its advised to use double thickness lining and cover the top with paper as well this can benefit in ways to prevent the burning of the cakes surface.

Easy Cake Recipe Measuring. Be certain to strictly follow the recipe measurements when baking. You can change the amounts if you want to make a bigger or smaller cake just make sure that the quantities reflect one and other. Don’t forget also that cooking time changes according to the volume of the batter.

Keep all cake recipe ingredients at room temperature, all the more so for the butter taking it straight from the fridge and beating it will prove to be very hard work.

At the time you add batter into the flour, sift it, holding the sieve about 10cm/4in above the mixing bowl; by doing this cake making technique, you can reduce your air or lumps that can go into the mix.

Consistency of Dropping. This means, By scooping up the batter tip the spoon as you go to pour it out, and you will find the mixture drops off slowly. Don’t panic if the batter doesn’t move. Try thinning it by using a few drops of milk. If on the other hand it’s to runny Simply sift with some flour.

Testing for ‘done ness’. Do not presume the cooking times from the recipe are accurate. Keeping checking from 10 – 15 minutes before the end by checking the center of the cake with a knife, pushing well inside the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done, if it’s soggy, give it 5 minutes more and check again.

Cake Decorating. Be certain to allow your cake to cool down before applying icing. Make the easy cake recipe even easier by by omitting the frosting/icing and you may simply dust the cake with icing sugar powered as an alternative.
