If you aren’t as good at baking cakes as
some of your friends are? You are sure to get Yuletide blues, especially when
you come across people baking fancy stuff for family and friends. Cake making blues
this time of the year are very natural. Here I will discuss
about some common causes of cake failures you how to avoid some them.
Dry
cake
There are many reasons for which cakes torn
out to be dry. The most common reasons are using too much flour and overbeating
egg whites. Other factors may be less amount of shortening, butter or sugar. Overbanking
also leads to this type of cakes.
Thick,
Heavy Crust
This type of cakes is due to excess amount
of flour in the mixture, not sufficient sugar, shortening or butter. Baking for
a long period time is also responsible for such cakes. So if you want to make
delicious Jamaican Christmas cakes, you should be particular about
the mixture. Right amount of ingredients should be used for making the mixture.
Cake
Falling
If too less shortening, butter or sugar
lead to dry cakes, use of excess amount of these ingredients will results in cake
falling and coming apart. Too much leavening, under baking and not handling the
cake gently while taking out of the oven are other reasons for such failure.
