Is the whisking method for cake making easier?

Answer 1

From my experience, I've seen that each bakers have their own individual whisking style and prefer to do it their way. The way I do it is that I tilt the bowl the tiniest bit towards me first. Make sure that it's only tilted a little-if you tilt it too much, the cake batter will start to spill out of the bowl. Once tilted, use a metal whisk to first blend in all of the dry materials. Once every single one of the ingredients has been blended in, hold the whisk with your right hand and make small, circular motions from the top to the bottom of the bowl. Start at the top of the bowl by making a small circle in the batter with your whisk, and continue down. The first time around, go slowly, to make sure all of the ingredients are blended in and that you are comfortable with this style of whisking. If all goes well the first time, continue the circular pattern a little faster the next time to smooth out any bumps in the batter. Once your batter is absolutely smooth and ready to bake, you're done whisking! This is my personal whisking method, but for other methods, I would suggest you look it up on baking websites.

Answer 2

The whisking method is not necessarily more easy or difficult than other methods of mixing cake batter. The primary consideration is whether whisking or some other method is most appropriate for the type of cake being made.
