THE MOST COMMON MYTHS ASSOCIATED WITH CAKE BAKING

It is believed that cakes were first baked in heave. While this may just be one of those popular folklores, it certainly has a grain of truth in it. Cakes have a magic in them that can turn your day around. The heavenly texture, ‘melt in your mouth flavor’, and soft frosting makes for a dangerous combination. One might get lost while enjoying the cake. But if it makes you happy, then why not? We also strongly recommend eating one cake a day to keep the mid-summer blues away.

Some people prefer the taste of their own baked creations. For all those industrious people, here are a few myth-busting tips to bake the perfect cake.

·         Many seasoned bakers believe that alcohol based cakes shouldn’t be heated in the oven at high temperatures. According to them the alcohol evaporates, robbing the cake of its vivid flavor.

 

 
This is only partly true as remnants of the rum or vodka still remain even after going through high temperatures. Not all of it vaporizes, leaving the cake with a light flavor.

The people who wish to rid their cakes of all alcohol lest the family gets intoxicated can rest assured too. The nuggets of the drinks that do remain are too little in quantity to have any untoward effects.

·         Another adage popular among our grandparents and parents is that opening an over door before time can deflate the cake, spoiling its fluffiness and shape. This myth couldn’t be any more untrue. The rising of a cake is dependent on the temperature of the oven which is not affected by opening the door a few times. While opening it is not advisable due to the risk of scalding, you can be sure that the cake won’t be affected in any manner.

But do not open and close the door as if it’s a game. This might lead to loss of heat inside the oven, hurting the shape of the cake.

·         Many health fanatics prefer to add margarine to their cakes instead of butter. Cakes themselves are not considered very healthy and adding margarine will not change that fact. Pound to pound, margarine and butter have a similar calorie count. The nutrition details might be slightly different but trust us, there isn’t a lot to warrant adding margarine. 

Only butter can act as a suitable agent as opposed to margarine.

·         Preparing the perfect red velvet requires expertise and deft hands. Experienced bakers know that adding any food coloring will mar the authenticity of the cake. Novices resort to food coloring if their cake fails to achieve the desired color. Instead, learning how to create the perfect mixture is a better option. The red velvet owes its color to a mixture of buttermilk, vinegar, and cocoa. Do not try cheap tricks because food coloring can be detrimental to health too.
