Can you use olive oil in a chocolate cake?

Yes, you can use olive oil in any cake recipe to replace any other fat. You might want to use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin as it has a lot of flavour. A lot of people will tell you not to use EVOO because of that, but if you don't use too much, it tastes great in any recipe.

Can you bake with flour that has weevils?

The only problem would be if you told anyone about it. It is just a little extra protein. That may upset some people, but if you run the flour through a shifter, that should get rid of most of the weevils and there are no diseases carried by weevils. People may not want to think about it, but we all eat a fair amount of bugs every day. The USDA even has an acceptable amount of bug content in breakfast cereal.

If you absolutely must use the flour, a very fine sieve should separate out the weevils. Freeze the flour for at least two days first, to kill the insects.

However if you can simply buy more flour, do so: any large infestation can affect flavors.

If weevils are a recurring problem for you, wrap your flour packages in plastic and keep them in the fridge. Because the weevils could well be invisible but present before you buy the flour or other dry goods, freeze the package for two days before refrigerating; this will kill off any eggs or larvae.

When you find weevils present in dry foods, wrap the package in plastic and dispose in the bin. You must also vacuum the cupboards where the weevils were found and then wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth.

What is the purpose of scalding milk for yeast rolls?

Scalding milk used in bread making was done because historically it was necessary to kill some of the bacteria present in milk before introducing the desired yeast, because the milk is then kept warm to encourage the growth of the yeast, and any undesirable micro-organisms would also grow in these conditions.

Modern pasteurized, sealed and refrigerated milk is less likely to require this treatment.

Scaling involves heating the milk until it is about to start boiling, then removing it from the heat.

How do you measure 2 cups of flour?

To measure ingredients using a dry measuring cup, first of all be sure that the ingredients you are measuring are indeed dry, such as flour, sugar, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Do not measure liquids such as water, eggs, or milk with a dry measuring cup, as they do measure slightly different than dry ingredients. Dry measuring cups usually have flat tops where you can level off an ingredient and wet/liquid measuring cups usually have a notched spout where ingredients may be poured out.

The technical way to measure dry goods is to scoop the ingredient into the cup and use the flat side of a butter knife to level it off. Try not to shake the ingredient too much in the cup and try not to tap it, as these actions compact it and could throw off your measurement for your recipe. Compacted flour for example, could have an extra Tablespoon or so in it.

One of the few exceptions to this rule is brown sugar. If a recipe calls for "packed brown sugar," press it with your fingers into the cup and level any excess off with the back of a butter knife.

How do you make xanthan gum?

No. The two ingredients have entirely different functions.

Baking powder contains an acid and baking soda, so that when the mixture is wetted the acid and soda react to form carbon dioxide bubbles which in turn causes the cake to rise.

Xanthan gum, on the other hand, is a thickener, stabiliser or gelling agent which is stable at a wide range of temperatures, but is more viscous when cooler.

If you used baking powder together with xanthan gum in the recipe, you could expect a very light and fluffy cake to come out of the oven, which would probably look more like a pancake if you chose to use neither.

How long do you bake a loaf of bread for?

About 30 to 35 minutes.

The actual time depends on the size of the loaf, and on the temperature of the oven. Some cooks like to start baking at about 240 degrees C (460 deg F) and after about 10 minutes reduce the temperature to 180 deg C (350 deg F). Others like to keep the temperature constant at about 220 deg C (430 deg F).

The time also depends on whether the oven is fan-forced, which speeds up the bake, and on the position of the loaf in the oven; higher racks cook faster.

Rolls take about 20 minutes.
