Making cakes is both affection and art. Every time I walk by the cake shop and smell the fragrant aroma, I always want to try making it myself. So what tools and raw materials do I need to do it myself? Let me explain it to you.

Make a cake yourself

First of all, of course, you must prepare the necessary tools and materials for making cakes.

1. Necessary Tools

1. Electric egg beater

The most ranked tool for beating butter, cream, whole eggs or egg whites, all rely on it.

2. Electronic kitchen scale (accurate to grams, if you don’t have one, you can measure it yourself)

3. Measuring cup

Mainly used to measure water. There are many different scales on good measuring cups, such as water, flour, sugar, oil, raisins, etc. But if you have a scale, these are rarely used.

4. Measuring spoon

Most recipes are marked with "spoon" and "teaspoon". How big a spoonful or a half of a spoonful should be can be determined with a set of measuring spoons. If it's cheap, buy a set.

5. Rubber knife

The area is large enough and the material is soft, making it easy to mix and stir. Using an ordinary spoon will make your hands cramp.

6. Flour sifting

Sifting flour is an important step, as the fluffiness of the cake can be determined by it. If you are particular about it, buy one.

7. Insulated gloves

The thicker the better, add several layers of rags when using them.

8. The baking mold

is removable and easy to remove. It is recommended to buy a 6-inch one, which has a higher success rate.

9. Small brushes

It is recommended to buy two, one for oil and one for egg. If you only bake cakes, you don’t need to buy them.

11. Egg-beating basin

A large and deep bowl made of stainless steel, because if you are making chiffon cake, not a drop of water or oil is allowed when beating egg whites, such as If you use a plastic bowl, there will be oil and water residue. If you don't need to separate the eggs, just use a regular plastic bowl. It needs to be big and deep enough, otherwise the butter will splatter everywhere when beating it.
