There are two possibilities here - if you are folding in whisked egg whites, it is usually to give the cake a light and airy texture - it's an old method before the advent of raising agents like baking powder. Also, this is used in cakes like Angel Cake in large quantities in order to give a spongier texture that is very light but does not crumble very easily.
If you are referring to the creaming method where you beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and then add eggs and so on, it is still for the same reasoning, more or less. It creates a homogenous blend of fat and sugar and lends a lightness to the finished sponge.
Mix the butter until soft. Add the sugar and mix until well incorporated.
You should cream your cake batter before mixing because it makes the batter creamier and tastier for most people anyway!
because otherwise it would be liquid.
because you just can
A cake that is made by blending the ingredients together with electric beaters or a hand whisk could be called a 'whisked' cake. Cakes made by this method usually have a runnier batter and more liquid ingredients - more milk, eggs or oil instead of butter. Whisked cakes are quick and convenient to prepare and there is relatively little mess - one bowl, a whisk and a spatula. That is why packet cake mixes are prepared using this method - the dry ingredients are mixed for you in advance and all you have to do is add the wet ingredients and whisk them together.
its quicker to use and your cake comes out better because the mixture isn't lumpy
Yes because air bubbles are introduced in the making of sponge cake. For example, when it's whisked,folded,sieved and cooked.
The cake method IN MATH is like the towers but this stacks up together.
There are 4 main methods of making cakes - I don't know of a fifth method.1. The Rubbing-In Method - The fat is rubbed into the flour. Then the other dry ingredients are added, followed by the wet ingredients like eggs, milk and oil.2. The Creaming Method - The butter and sugar are first worked together in a mixing bowl until they are light and fluffy. Then the eggs are added, followed by the flour.3. The Sponge Cake Method - The eggs and sugar are whisked together until light and creamy, and the flour is then lightly folded in.4. The Melting Method - The fat is melted, along with any syrup, sugar or treacle in the recipe (this method is often used for gingerbread.) Then add the flour, followed by the beaten eggs and milk.
