Planning to bake your own cake instead of ordering, this Christmas? Follow these tips to master.
Always use measuring cups and spoons for adding ingredients, as a little mis-measurement can lead to recipe failure.
If possible, use cake flour for baking instead of all-purpose flour for better result.
Mix the batter just until done, as over-mixing lends a tough-textured cakes.
Let the cake cool completely in pan after taking out from oven for assembling or decorating.
Opening the oven in the middle of baking lets in the cool air, causing the rising cake to sink.
