There are always baking tips that will make your life easier whether you're a pro baker, or a beginner. These simple tips and tricks are sure to make your baking experience a breeze.
For easy piping, a ziploc bag is an excellent baking tip. You can also use coffee to make rich and moist cakes.
1. Use milk instead of water
Milk helps to combine the ingredients and provide the moisture that baked goods need. It also activates the gluten in the flour and dissolves sugar more quickly.
You can replace one cup of water with a cup of milk in most cake and cookie recipes. It can be mixed with some butter to keep the cake moist.
Dairy-free options like oat milk and coconut milk are also excellent substitutes for the fat in milk. These can give baked goods a richer texture and taste, but they can also change the flavor.
Although all milks, dairy-free and dairy-free, will give the same fluid amount, plant-based alternatives may have different macronutrients. You should carefully review the nutrition facts label, and the ingredients list to make informed decisions.
2. Coffee is a better choice than water
Water, which is the most vital compound in all life on Earth's surface, is composed of two hydrogen-atoms and one oxygen-atom. Water is a liquid but can form a gas phase if it is heated (steam).
A molecule of water has a unique set of properties that are vital to living things. Its simple structure allows it to perform many different chemical reactions and maintain the necessary shapes for cell components.
As a polar molecule, water interacts best with other polar molecules. This is because opposite charges attract to each other and water can form strong bonds with other Polar molecules.
3. Make a Cake Soak
One of the best baking hacks that professional bakers use is to apply a cake soak after baking. This liquid or syrup is absorbed into the cake, keeping it moist.
It is usually made from simple syrup. This means that equal amounts of sugar and water are combined until the sugar dissolves. It's a great option for a classic Tres Leches cake, but can also be tinged with fruit juice or zest, tea, herbs, liqueurs and spices to create flavorful soaking syrups.
You can add more moisture and flavor to your cakes by soaking, especially if they are dry and crumbly. You need to be careful about how much you use so your cake doesn’t get too saturated.
4. Buttercream Frosting
Buttercream is the perfect icing for cakes and cupcakes. It is creamy in texture and has a vanilla flavor.
You need room temperature soft butter that can easily be whipped to create a silky smooth buttercream. To check if the butter is indent, you can press your finger into it (see photograph).
Next, combine the butter and powdered Sugar using a paddle/whisk attachment on your stand mixer. It may take a couple minutes to fully incorporate the sugar, but once you have done that, add the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
5. Make a sponge cakes
A sponge cake is light and fluffy. It can be soaked in syrups to make it more moist. This cake is very easy to make at-home because it only requires a handful of ingredients.
The whisked or beaten egg is a key component of any sponge cake. This traps air when it's heated and allows it raise without additional leavening ingredients like baking powder, baking soda, or baking powder. The cake can also be made very low-sugar by using whipped eggs. This allows bakers the freedom to experiment with different flavors and textures.
To make a sponge-cake, separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the granulated and sugar until creamy. Finally, add the flour to the mixture and fold it in gently. The eggs may take several minutes to fully cream. This is crucial for making a light and airy sponge cake.
