Frequently asked questions
How do I get a cake to rise properly?
The ingredients should be at room temperature, the baking powder fresh, and the batter should not be mixed for too long once the flour goes in.
How do you check whether a cake is baked?
Put a cocktail stick into the middle — if it comes out dry, the cake is done. For moister cakes, leave traces of damp crumbs on it.
Can I replace butter with oil?
In most cakes you can use a neutral vegetable oil, but the texture will be slightly different — often softer and moister.
