Baking soda and baking powder.

You can grease a cake pan with butter, margarine, shortening, lard, vegetable oil, or vegetable oil aerosol spray.

An alternative to greasing a cake pan is to line the pan with parchment paper, or to use silicon cake pans that are non-stick.

When were welsh cakes first made?

Make it and find out ;) Ingredients

225g/8oz self-raising flour, sieved

110g/4oz (preferably Welsh) salted butter

1 egg

handful of sultanas

milk, if needed

85g/3oz caster sugar

extra butter, for greasing

Method

1. Rub the fat into the sieved flour to make breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, dried fruit and then the egg. Mix to combine, then form a ball of dough, using a splash of milk if needed.

2. Roll out the pastry until it is a 5mm/¼in thick and cut into rounds with a 7.5-10cm/3-4in fluted cutter.

3. You now need a bakestone or a heavy iron griddle. Rub it with butter and wipe the excess away. Put it on to a direct heat and wait until it heats up, place the Welsh cakes on the griddle, turning once. They need about 2-3 minutes each side. Each side needs to be caramel brown before turning although some people I know like them almost burnt.

4. Remove from the pan and dust with caster sugar while still warm. Some people leave out the dried fruit, and split them when cool and sandwich them together with jam.

How long can uncooked cake batter sit unrefrigerated?

If the recipe calls for baking soda, it must be panned and baked immediately.

How do you use a cake mixer?

You can make all kinds of margaritas and frozen drinks. For non alcoholic options, you can make fruit slushes, frozen coffee drinks and yogurt smoothies. I find that the best way to make drinks is to put ice and frozen fruit, then fill with liquid until the ice/fruit is covered by the liquid. This makes a good consistency.

Can you add vanilla extract to a cake after baking?

Usually you do, yes.

More Information:

Vanilla improves the flavor of cake, but it is possible to bake cake without adding any flavoring other than the natural flavor of the butter, sugar and other ingredients. Alternatively, other flavor extracts may be used in place of vanilla, such as almond, lemon or orange, rum, brandy, and so forth.

Why do I have bubbles in my cake mix?

Sour dough mix is loaded with yeast. Yeast produces carbon dioxide and alcohol as it digests the sugar in the batter. The gluten in the batter allows the carbon dioxide bubbles to form a persistent foam.

Can you substitute 3 eggs for 3 teaspoons mayo in carrot cake?

I have successfully experimented with ground linseed to replace eggs in muffins and pancakes.

In a separate container, use 1 rounded tablespoon fine ground linseed (flax seed)

with 2-3 tablespoons cold water per egg replaced. Allow to stand 10 minutes or so.

You may need to add more water to bring the blend to the consistency and quantity

of one egg. You could also add a teaspoon of light flavored oil to replicate the fat in the egg.

The blend becomes 'slimy' like raw egg white and has roughly the same binding quality of eggs, but you do lose some of the flavor they impart.)

What country first made funnel cakes?

The history of Funnel Cake history is debatable. Popular opinion is that the treat was popularized by German immigrants in the state of Pennsylvania who served the treat during harvest festivals and holidays. The name comes from the way the dish is prepared, which is pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil. Some sources claim the treat is a descendant of the oliebol which are a dessert similar to donuts. The reality is many cultures have variations of the funnel cake, such as the Spanish who have a treat named Churros. One thing is for sure, today the dish is one of the most popular sweet treats in America. They are a staple of Amusement Parks, Sporting Events and wherever there are social gatherings or celebrations

Why should you not keep opening the oven door while baking a cake?

Moisture continues to escape after the item is removed from the oven. At the same time, cooling begins, which causes the gases still inside the item to contract. If the protein structure is completely set, the product may shrink slightly but hold its shape. If the product is underbaked, however, the contraction of gases may cause it to collapse
