What is the secret recipe for making really nice light soft cakes?
My auntie makes gorgeous cakes all the time. she womt tell me her secret recipe though! My cakes are always dry and hard to swallow where as hers are nice and light and moist. What is the secret?
Look at all these answers…most from guys! Does my heart proud. You go, guys!
There are lots of reasons your cakes turn out dry. You may be baking them too long, or in too high of an oven temperature. 325 is the key temperature. If your oven seems funky, buy an oven thermometer ($3-4) and check it out.
Try incorporating some more air into your cake batter, but not too much or your cakes will be “domed”.
You might want to try to add one box of instant pudding to your mix along with one egg in addition to your regular ingredients…nothing more. It makes a lot moister cake.
Another hint…and this really works…cut a piece of foil two inches longer than the circumference of your pans. Take paper toweling the same length, wet it thoroughly with cold water, and wrap the foil around the wet paper towels to make it 2 inches wide. Attach the whole gizmo around the outside of your cake pans and bake as usual. This keeps the outsides of your cake from getting brown, crispy or just overdone. Plus, it helps keep your cakes level and not “domed”. You can buy these strips, called Bake Right strips at several stores.
Good luck and keep on trying…your Auntie may have a secret, but you can discover it.
