What’s New
What is It
Cake Ingredients
1. Cake Flour
Cake Flour is a finely ground meal obtained by grinding and milling cereal
grains. It contains 7-9% protein content and is made from soft wheat flour. It is good
for making cakes and cookies where a tender and delicate texture is desired.
2. Sugar
Effects of Sugar in Baking
a. Makes the color of the crust brown or richer
b. Improves the nutritional value, flavor and aroma of the
product.
Sugar has the most pronounced effect on flavor where it sweetens the
product.
c. Makes the cakes tender.
In cakes, the heat of baking causes the starch in flour to absorb
liquid and swell.
d. Contributes to moisture content of cakes
Increased retention of moisture due to sugar content gives the baked
products longer shelf life by increasing its storing quality.
e. Acts as creaming agent.
Sugar crystals become interspersed among the shortening
molecules when shortening and sugar are creamed together.
f. Sugar serves as a whipping aid to stabilize beaten egg foam.
In foam-type cakes, sugar interacts with egg proteins to stabilize the
whipped foam structure.

3. Eggs
4. Shortening
Uses of Shortening in Baking
Makes products tender and improves flavor.
Assists in gas retention giving better volume and crust.
Prevents the cohesion of gluten.
Improves the aroma, color and texture of baked products.
Improves the shelf life of baked products because of its moisture.
5. Leavening Agent
6. Liquid Ingredients

Temperature of the Different Types of Cakes
It is important to preheat your oven before baking. Baked items depend on the
correct oven temperature to help them rise properly. All baked recipes are tested in
preheated ovens. Place the oven racks at the proper levels first, and then set the
temperature stated in the recipe.
Classifications of Cakes
High-fat or Shortened Cakes - a type of cake which contains a high percentage
of fat or shortening.
Lesson
There are certain mixing methods used in cake making. The types of fat used
determine which method you used. This affects directly on cakes volume and texture
of the cake.

Creaming Method Procedure
Some bakers prefer to add the salt and flavour with the sugar to ensure
uniform distribution. If melted chocolate is used, it may beaten during creaming.
4. Add the eggs a little at a time, after each addition, beat until the eggs are absorbed
before adding more. After the eggs are beaten in, mix until light and fluffy. This
step will take about 5 minutes
6. Add the sifted dry ingredients (including the spices), alternating with the liquids.
The reason for adding dry and liquid ingredients alternately is the batter may not
absorb all the liquid unless some of the flour is present.
B. Two-Stage Method
The two-stage mixing method is a little simpler than the creaming method,
and it produces a smooth batter that bakes up into a fine-grained, moist cake. The
name originated from the practice of adding the liquids are added in two stages. The
first step in making high-ratio cakes is to blend the flour and other dry ingredients
with shortening. When this mixture is smooth, the liquids (including eggs) are added
in stages.

4. With the paddle attachment, mix at low speed for 30 seconds until the dry
ingredients are moistened. (The purpose of mixing slowly until the dry
ingredients are moistened is to keep them from being thrown out of the bowl).
5. Mix at high speed for 4 minutes. Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl
and beater. Mix at medium speed for 3 minutes.
D. Flour-Batter Method
The flour-batter method is used for only a few specialty items. It produces a
fine-textured cake, but there may be some toughening due to the development of
gluten. Flour-batter cakes include those made with either emulsified shortening or
butter or both.
E. Sponge Methods
Many types of sponge method cakes have one characteristic in common: they
are made with egg foam that contains yolks. These are usually whole-egg foams but,
in some cases, the base foam is yolk foam, and egg white foam is folded in at the end
of the procedure.
8
If the whites are whipped to soft peaks instead, they can stretch more during
baking, allowing the cake to rise.
F. Chiffon Method
Chiffon cakes and angel food cakes are both based on egg-white foams, but
here the similarities in the mixing methods end. In angel food cakes, a dry flour-
sugar mixture is folded into the egg whites. In the chiffon method, a batter containing
flour, egg yolks, vegetable oil, and water is folded into the whites. Egg whites for
chiffon cakes should be whipped until they are a little firmer than those for angel
food cakes, but not so much that they become dry.
Chiffon cakes contain baking powder, so they do not depend on the egg foam
for all their leavening.

7. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients
8. Pour the batter in prepared pans
9. Level the top of the batter with a plastic.
Lesson
1. Read the recipe carefully to know if you have all the ingredients and the
utensils needed and if you understand the entire procedure.
2. Check all the necessary ingredients gather and arrange them according to the
sequence of their preparation.
3. Prepare all the utensils needed for measuring, mixing, and baking.
4. Preheat the oven. Set the oven knob at the desired temperature.
5. Prepare the pan/pans needed; make sure to use the correct pan size. If it
needs greasing, brushing the pan bottom with a little shortening. For baking
purposes, don’t use butter or margarine for greasing because these easily
burn and will produce a very brown crust.
6. Measure the ingredients using correct utensils according to the amounts
required in the recipe.
7. Mix the batter or dough when filling pans, makes sure you don’t overfill. Fill
about 2/3 full to give an allowance for the rising.
8. Bake in the preheated oven. Put the pan at the center rack.
9. Test for doneness. For butter cakes, prick the center of the cake with a
toothpick. If it comes out clean then it is done. For chiffon and sponge cakes
press lightly with fingers. If it springs back then it is done. Pies and pastries
are done when the crusts have turned golden brown, crisp and flaky.
10. Cool the baked products. For butter cakes, put the pan on a wire rack and
leave to cool for 10 minutes. Afterwards, invert pan to remove the cake and
cool it completely. For sponge and chiffon cakes, invert pans at once in wire
racks. Then, decorate.

Testing for Doneness
1. Use a cake tester to determine doneness of a cake by inserting at the center
of the cake. When the cake tester comes out clean, the cake is baked.
2. The cake springs back on top and sides when pressed.
3. The cake shrinks away from the sides of the pan
