Happy to answer your questions.

It is recommended to use pure milk for making cakes, as long as the ingredient list only contains raw milk.

High-temperature sterilized or pasteurized pure milk will do.

High-end or organic milk will have a stronger flavor.

Something like Deluxe or Sanyuan Extreme will do.

I often make cakes for my children, and the ones I make are much better than those sold outside. They have a pure milky taste and are softer. The key is that they have less sugar and oil and are healthier to eat.

If you prefer a strong milk flavor when making cakes, it is recommended to mix pure milk and cream in a ratio of one to one when making cake batter, and pour it directly into the batter. The milk flavor will be more fragrant.

I opened a cake shop in a small county town and have been doing it for seven years. I basically choose the Yili brand for pure milk.

The chef we work with is a sultry male chef who is very picky about raw materials, so the things he picks are pretty good. Our bread is also well received by most local people.

This shows that the materials he chose are also passable.

I once asked him why he chose Yili. Isn’t Mengniu also a big name?

He replied that Yili pure milk is slightly better, and if you taste it carefully, the taste is simpler and the texture is denser.

It’s best to use whole milk when making cakes. It doesn’t matter the brand. You can buy it in all major supermarkets. Generally, the fat content of whole milk is 3.5%.

There are two main reasons for choosing whole milk: 1. From a health perspective, whole milk contains a variety of vitamins. If these fats are removed, the vitamins in the milk will also be lost, and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced.

2. In terms of aroma, the reason why milk has an attractive aroma mainly depends on the components of milk fat. If you use whole milk, the cake will be full of flavor.

If I use pure milk, I generally use Yili and Nestlé.

(There is a phenomenon here for me. For pure milk, I need to drink Yili, and for walnut milk, I need to drink Mengniu. I wonder how many other friends are like this?) At the same time, since you choose pure milk, you must pay attention to the ingredients list.

Milk that only contains "raw milk" and other ingredients added in addition to raw milk is not considered "pure milk". You must pay attention when purchasing milk.

Secondly, not only pure milk can be used to make cakes, but also fresh milk, yogurt, and milk powder. The choice can be made according to the taste and texture that the maker wants.

Therefore, we can see that many cake recipes use milk instead of water, basically due to the above 6 points.
