How to know a good cake.

All cakes are sweet because of the presence of sugar so there's nothing like sweet cake. Even the dry rock called cakes are sweet. A nice cake is moist and fluffy.

Here are the tips that contribute to nice cakes

1 Your heat: Heat determines the outcome of your cake. If you have too much heat, no matter what you add to your cake, its going to come out different likewise when its too low. Your cake needs moderate heat. To control the temperature of your local oven, use thermometer but if u don't have one, a bowl of water into the oven will help you regulate the heat.

2. Creaming your batter:
How fluffy you cream your batter determines the outcome of your cake. When I was learning, I was told to cream till 'sugar melts" so we ended up creaming our batter for so long almost a day just because we want the sugar to melt! Truth remains, sugar can never melt! It only melts when it gets to the oven. So to know if your creamed batter is ready to be mixed, it doubles in size and becomes lighter in weight. When u scoop it on your spatula it falls off easily! That way, u are ready to mix!

3: Using the right flour: some flour are better than the other! Honeywell flour gives you better result. Now, don't go about searching for honeywell because Nanbam said so and abandon dangote or golden penny! They can still give you good results but personally, I choose honey well.
4. Scooping too much batter into your pan. Truth be told, your baked cake shouldn't be more than 2" high when cold! Learn to bake in batches! Don't heap all batter into a pan. If you mix 500g batter, scoop it into 3 same pans and allow to bake. Thereby, it doesnt stay too long in the oven . ever wondered why cup cakes come out fluffier even with same recipe? That's because it didn't pass through too much heat!

5. Sieve your flour!
Sieving of flour is not just to remove dirt. It entraps air into the batter. Seive directly into your batter and use the fold in method.

6. Don't over mix! Whether you are using a mixer or by hand, reduce the speed when u are adding flour. Use the fold in method!
7. Don't expose your baked cake to open air especially during dry season. Wrap it in a cling film.

This is a cake I love to make owing to its few ingredients and straight forward procedure. I use the recipe to make a variety of other cakes e.g you can add more cocoa to the whole mixture and have a rich chocolate cake. You can also skip the cocoa and get a delicious vanilla cake, or add a few spices to make a spicy cake....... If you find it too sweet, you can reduce the sugar by 40g or according to your taste. I hope you get to try it and get to personalise it.
