Answer 2

Chocolate cake

When we hear the word cake, the first cake that comes to ones mind (at least my mind!) is chocolate cake. A moist chocolate cake is sure to satisfy any cake lover:

Ingredients:

For the cake frosting:

2/3 cup heavy cream or whipping cream

chopped semisweet chocolate (around 260 grams)

For the cake itself:

1+1/4 cup flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk or water

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 tablespoon vanilla essence

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

2 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation method:

First of all, preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.

Then grease a baking cake pan (which should be around 9 inches).

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and

vanilla essence into a bowl. Then add the milk (or water, whatever you choose), oil and eggs. You can mix everything together by either an electric mixer or simply by hand. Continue stirring it until its smooth.

Transfer the mixture onto the greased cake pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It should take approximately 35 to 45 minutes (a great way to check is to insert a toothpick in the center and if its done the toothpick will come out clean).

When the cake is done, gently remove it from the pan (simply invert onto a plate) and let it cool for a while. After the cakes done cooling, slice it through the middle to make it into two layers.

Now for the frosting, first of all heat the heavy cream (or whipping cream, whatever you choose to use) in a pan.

After your done heating the cream, add the chopped semisweet chocolate to it. Stir it until its smooth and let it cool until in thickens.

Then apply little bit of the frosting (around 1/3) between the two cake layers, some on the top (again, around 1/3), and the rest around the cake.

Finally, put the cake into the fridge for an hour or more so that the frosting hardens. Serve it at room temperature.

Answer 4

cake making is not difficult but having an understanding of the role ingredients and technique play in the quality of your finished cake will help you to have consistent and excellent results every time.

Butter cakes consist of taking the most basic of ingredients butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and a leavening agent (baking powder or baking soda) and transforming them into a baked good with a wonderful taste and texture.

There are three methods used in making butter cakes and the goal of each method is to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the batter (produces the volume and texture of the cake), to restrict the development of gluten in the flour (provides tenderness, texture and volume), and to have a uniform batter.
