What is a High Ratio Cake?
A high-ratio (hi-ratio) cake is one that has a high ratio of sugar and liquid (usually eggs) to flour. High ratio cakes require a special shortening (called emulsified shortening) containing emulsifying agents to allow the mixture to hold such high amounts of sugar and liquids. Generally speaking, the process of making a high ratio cake includes blending your flour with emulsified shortening, then adding the liquids.
