CAKE FORMULA



Cake Formula image

Being a baking novice, I've wondered how a baker can create a cake recipe from scratch and know that it will work. When I found this "formula" I then understood the math and balancing of ingredients by WEIGHT not volume. Having the right proportions of flour, eggs, sugar, liquid and fat makes all the difference between the "rise & fall" of baked goods. The following is an *example* of the formula at work and not meant to be a specific cake recipe.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar (7 ounces)
1 1/2 cups flour (6 3/4 ounces)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder or 3/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs (3 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup butter (4 ounces)
1/2 cup milk (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Basic formula, using weight, not volume:.
  • Sugar = flour.
  • Eggs = fat.
  • Eggs + Liquid =Sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder for every 1 cup of flour.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each 1 cup of flour (baking soda is used if the recipe has a considerable amount of acidic ingredients).
  • Don't forget the 1/2 teaspoon of salt as a flavor enhancer.
