- You get curd from milk.
- Curds are a dairy product obtained by curdling(coagulating) milk with rennet or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds.
- In the Indian subcontinent etc., the word "curd" is widely used to refer to what is known as "yogurt".
What is the Difference between pound cake and regular cake?
Pound cake is like bread cake and yellow cake is just yellow that is yellow, typically corn cake..
another response:
Yellow cake is usually a typical light, tender cake, particularly when made with a mix. Yellow cake made from scratch might be a different sort of cake, perhaps a sponge cake. (Twinkies are sponge cake.) Yellow cake is often baked in round layers and frosted with vanilla or chocolate icing.
Pound cake has a finer, more dense texture, and is usually baked in a rectangle loaf rather than in round layers. It is rarely frosted, but served with fruit or custard. Pound cake is not corn cake, but is made with fine wheat flour.
How do you say hey cupcake in spanish?
The main language of Venezuela is Spanish, although there are some Indian languages there. In Spanish, the word cupcake is "tortita individual".
How can you prevent red velvet cake from rising too much?
The reason that the cake forms a dome on top is that the sides cook faster than the middle, so when the middle cooks, there's nowhere for it to to go but up. You can lower the baking tempterature and bake for a slightly longer time. I usually bake at 325 F until the cake tests done.
You can put an upside-down flower nail into the center of the cake. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray first, put it in the pan, and then pour the batter in. It will act as a heating core and help the middle cook a little faster. When you turn the cake out of the pan, remove the flower nail carefully---it will be very hot. It leaves a small hole in the cake, invisible once it's frosted.
You can also use bake even strips. They're fabric strips that you soak in water and then fasten around the outside of the pan before putting the cake in the oven. I've never tried them though. The flower nail method works well for me.
...................................
Wrapping wet strips of clean cotton fabric around the outside of the cake pan works very well in preventing domed cake tops. Synthetic fabrics should NOT be used, as they can melt or give off unpleasant odors at baking temperatures. Strips of old T-shirts, torn bed linens or twisted gauze all work well. The strips should be thoroughly wet, wrung gently, then secured around the cake pan before pouring in the batter. Be careful to tuck in the ends of strips so they do not hang loose or touch hot elements.
this is correct but remember cloth catches on fire

Can you put a baking pan from oven straight to freezer?
Well... If they're empty then yes :P
But I'm guessing that that's not what you meant.
Sooo, if the stuff In your jars is dried fruit or anything go ahead, but if it is lovely sticky jam then you will ruin your jam bottles and probably your jam too.
If you want to know why then search 'what happens when you put liquid in the freezer', I don't think I will be able to explain it. Sorry

To find an equilibrium with the silver ratio.
What is an anti caking agent for powdered garlic?
Rice! (If you have a shaker with small enough holes to not let it escape.)
How often can you refreeze the same cake?
You should avoid re-freezing anything that has been frozen and thawed. Serious gastric upsets could result.
A different perspective . . .Generally, the main concern with a cake (depends on the cake, of course) would not be food safety, but the extra freeze-thaw cycle would definitely affect the quality of the cake - making it dry out, become crumbly or otherwise making it less presentable.No, not at all. The paste coloring has a much more intense coloring effect, so I would recommend using about a half teaspoon, then check the color to see if you need to add a bit more. But you will need to increase your liquid to compensate for the loss of 2 fluid ounces, which can be done by increasing the oil and/or buttermilk by 2 ounces.
How many tbsp is one querter lb butter?
There are 8 tbsp in one 1/4 lb which is a half a cup or one stick of butter
How many cups are in a 18.25 oz box of cake mix?
Let's do this the easy way. 1 cup equals 8 oz's so it seems to me that you have 1 cup with 1 ounce to be added. Hope I helped you, but most of all hope I'm right. Sometimes the problem seems harder then it truly is but then there are times we get fooled...lol
Why do people put eggs in a cake?
Yes, there are almost always eggs in cake. Eggs add moisture, and are also the most important binding agent that acts to hold the cake together during and after baking. Without eggs, the cake (once baked) would be dry and cumbly and fall apart.
How does the amount of eggs used in a cake affect how high it rises?
The eggs are to hold the cake together and it's the bicarbonate or baking powder that causes the cake to rise. Try 2 teaspoons of flax powder mixed with half a cup of water. This has great binding properties and is high in fiber and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. A mashed banana is also a good substitute for eggs.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of cakes?

What does baking soda need to create leavening?
Sodium bicarbonate, referred to as "baking soda" is primarily used in cooking (baking), as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes expansion of the batter and forms the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, and other baked and fried foods. Acidic compounds that induce this reaction include phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yogurt, buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar, etc.

What is food colouring cochineal made from?
Yes, it is still used in certain food colors, such as read and yellow. It is mostly used in sweets and confectionery.
Cochineal has been used for thousands of years as coloring, first being used as a dye, then later on, as a food coloring.
Because the leavening agent has expired, you can't use the mix for anything which needs to "rise." But, unless the cake mix is full of weevils, or contains oil (and smells "off"), I can't see any reason you can't use it as "flour" - say for a crust or a crumb topping. Mix with butter/oleomargarine as you would for any crumb topping/crust. Add a bit of fresh flavouring - e.g. vanilla, almond or lemon extract, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, or whatever suits your needs. Most cake mixes have sweetening, but taste the crumbs and see if you want to add more.
Can sound or vibrations make a cake fall?
A dog barking will not make a cake fall during cooking. There would need to be sound waves violent enough to break the bubbles forming in the cake for this to happen, and a dog barking is not that big a noise, and the cake is also insulated from noise by the door of the oven.
