Points for Successful Cake Making

Creaming Method

• Cream the butter and sugar until light, white, and fluffy.
• Use fine granulated sugar for a fine-textured cake.
• Beat eggs just until smooth. If over beaten until frothy, the eggs will become watery.
• Add beaten eggs gradually, beating well after each addition. Sift flour, salt, and raising agent together. Fold this gently into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk until thoroughly mixed.
• Stir in any flavorings and fruit alternately with the flour.
• The final consistency should be a soft dropping consistency. Add more liquid if necessary.

This method is used for butter cakes, small cakes, and rich fruit cakes.

Whipped Sponge Method

• Use a spotlessly clean mixing bowl.
• Use fine granulated sugar for a fine-textured cake.
• Sift flour and any other dry ingredients together three times.

Method One

• Whip whole eggs with sugar until the mixture is pale lemon colored and thick enough to support its own trail.
• Sift the flour into the mixture and mix with a metal spoon or plastic spatula using a gentle “cut-and-fold” action.

Note: If you do not have an electric mixer, use a rotatory beater and beat the eggs and sugar over hot water.

Method Two

• Separate the eggs carefully, making sure there are no specks of yolk in the egg white.
• Beat the egg white until stiff.
• Add sugar gradually, whisking continuously until thick and shiny.
• Beat the egg yolks quickly.
• Sift the flour into the mixture and mix with a metal spoon or a plastic spatula, using a gentle “cut-and-fold” action.

The two variation on this method are used for sponge cakes, jelly rolls, and sponge drops.
