What is the ratio of liquid to dry ingredients in a cake?

It depends on the eact cake recipe. Often, there will be a slightly higher amount of dry ingredients as opposed to wet ingredients. The dry ingredients can usually dissolve in lesser amounts of liquid. Also, solid ingredients like butter or lard are not techinically "liquids", but they act as liquids during baking.


How long can an unbaked cake be stored in the refrigerator before baking it?

Not very long at all. The baking powder that is in it works two ways. It reacts with the liquid to cause it to rise and with the heat of the oven. Once liquid is added to the dry ingredients, it starts working. It only does this once and if it's not in the oven, it will be sort of like a cake falling when you are baking it. The cake should still rise in the oven, but it will not be as much and possible not evenly.


What happens to flaky dough if you over mix the ingredients before adding in your water?

To my knowledge and experience, you cannot over mix ingredients before adding the liquid. It is when you add the liquid that a chemical reaction actually occurs. Then you must work quickly. The key to really flaky, light dough is using lard and a cold liquid. I find it easier to mix the dough with my hands rather than a utensil; to better feel its "perfectly mixed" consistency. Mix fast ~ pat or roll out fast ~ cut/form into shape desired ~ get it in the preheated oven fast. Also, the thinner the shape, the more flaky.

Baking soda is used when there is an acidic ingredient in the recipe. For example, molasses, buttermilk, chocolate. Please note that baking is like a chemical experiment and ingredients and amounts especially leavening need to be exact to have the recipe work.
