1. Don't sieve flour

At first, Xiaoyou felt that it was a waste of time to sieve flour. Later, I learned that sieving is actually a very important step.

Sieving can remove lumps in flour to ensure that your cake will not be dry and caked. At the same time, sieving can increase the air in the cake and make the cake more bulky.

2. Uneven mixing of batter

Uneven mixing of raw materials, especially raw materials with different colors, will cause eddies of different colors on the cake surface. But don't stir too much, too much air will be stirred into the batter, causing the cake to collapse. The technique of stirring is also very important. Stir and cut, so that the products will look good!

3, baking mold powder or brush oil

Brush oil on the mold, which can make you demould very smoothly. Forget the consequences of brushing oil, it is estimated that it will drive you crazy! Of course, if some products don't need to be painted with oil or powder, you can also choose the use method according to the product description

4. Improper selection of baking mold

When choosing the mold, you must choose it according to the amount of your own formula. Never use an 8-inch cake baking tray to fill a 9-inch cake batter, which will easily overflow or form a huge peak in the middle of the cake. If the mold is too small, you can put a few more, and bake the cupcakes with the remaining batter. If the mold is too big, remember to reduce the baking time appropriately.

If you want to bake a particularly soft cake, it's better to use a piece of oiled paper, which is more convenient to take the product

1. What does baking do

Baking, also known as barbecue and baking, is a process in which the prepared food blank is baked in an oven at high temperature to dehydrate, dry and harden. The only difference from other daily pasta, such as steamed buns, is that steamed buns are cooked by steam, while all the food in baking is cooked by oven, which is why many people say that bread, cakes, biscuits and so on are easy to get angry.

① Low-gluten flour: protein content is below 8.5%, that is to say, it is the lowest gluten, which is easy to be agglomerated by hand, and is generally used to make crispy food, such as biscuits, muffins, peach cakes and other Chinese pastry

② Medium-gluten flour: protein content is between 9.5% and 12.%, with moderate gluten, just like ordinary flour used in our daily life.

③ High-gluten flour: The protein content is about 12.5% or more, which has strong activity, is not easy to dough by hand, and has strong gluten, so it is generally used to make bread and toast, for example, the drawing effect in bread is related to this high gluten texture.

Among these two categories of oils, there are too many kinds of oils, such as cream, butter, etc. In particular, this butter is divided into salt and salt-free, and butter is also the most commonly used oil in baking.
