Default The Art of Baking

moonstar's revival of the cooking thread reminded me that we need to revive the baking thread too

today i made 2 cakes, and helped make another. i made the 2 cakes for a lady that's a neighbor of my sister's (and got paid; i should do this more often)

1. the chocolate cake from the recipe off the back of those canisters of hershey's unsweetened cocoa; really moist cake because it's made with oil and hot water in the batter (versus butter, which usually results in a firmer cake).

2. a basic vanilla cake (if you google 1-2-3-4 cake; that's your most basic and classic vanilla cake recipe; it's the base for so many cakes) with vanilla butter cream frosting. butter creams are usually much nicer to eat than frostings made with confectioner's sugar. this particular frosting was made by cooking the sugar with the milk first (to make a pseudo pudding), and then beating that mixture into softened butter; it's very rich, but it's not teeth-rotting sweet like some frostings can be.

3. southern red velvet cake; the recipe is easily find-able by searching it on the foodnetwork.com site (it's sara moulton's recipe). you can even (technically) call this a chocolate cake, because it's got one teaspoon of cocoa in it yes it is bright red, but it's also delicious.

Baking is an art? I just buy pre mixed batter, mix it up as in the directions, plop it all in a suitable sized pan and Voila a nice cake

Of course it finishes before I have time to make and apply the icing

you make your own icing for a pre-mixed batter cake? they sell pre-made icing too, you know it usually tastes pretty good. but yes, baking, like cooking, is an art.

ignore those weird symbols, it's just layering the cookies with the whipped cream, chocolate cream, and light chocolate cream (step 5). Looks pretty simple, I'll try it out one day, I need to buy a good chocolate though. I'll skip the light chocolate cream though and just make it with the two others.

I made lamingtons for relaxation on the weekend. Yuuuuummmmmm...

Oh, does the rest of the world know what a lamington is or is it a uniquely Oztraylian delicacy?

Asalamu Alaikum,

I have a serious problem. I don't understand this souffle thing. Whats the texture supposed to be when it comes out of the oven?

Mine is always raw in the middle and bubbly and jiggly on top. When I take it out of the oven it deflates immediately. I'm left with half baked goop.

Fi AmanAllah
