Cooking is an art that requires patience. If you lose that, don't expect the desired result. Making a cake is no different. In fact, it asks for even more time, delicacy, and the right amount of ingredients. If you think, you can manage these three things, you are good to go. However, to be able to make a cake the way professionals do, you need to know a few hints and tips, along with common mistakes that you should do away with. That's what we are going to tell you. Read on.
Preheat the oven
One common mistake you can avoid is not heating your oven well before putting the cake inside that. It can affect the cake's taste and texture.
Look for the recipe
If you're trying this for the first time do not just ask a friend over a call or half-read a recipe. Be careful throughout.
Take measurements and ingredients necessary
Ever had a cake that tasted only like eggs? If not, you're lucky. Do not put anything without measuring it and try not to substitute the ingredients mentioned in the recipe. From eggs to icing, every ingredient should be in measurement.
Don't keep opening the oven
Your excitement and impatience to keep checking your wonderful cake being made are natural but it can ruin the efforts. Changes in air temperature will affect your cake so the wait is always worth it.
Let it cool down
This one too requires patience. Especially when you're doing the frosting and decoration part. Do not start frosting and decorating the hot cake. Wait for it to cool down and follow the frosting steps carefully.
