These are my Top 10 Baking Tips
- Baking is a science so measure ingredients correctly
- Always use good quality ingredients
- Never mix the metric with imperial measurements
- Measure out all your ingredients first before you start, that way you will know what you’ve added or missed out
- Sifting the flour will help to add air into your baking
- If using Butter, always soften to room temperature, as this will give you a lighter result
- Always line your cake tins, with either baking parchment or by greasing and coating with flour
- Don’t open the oven door to check your baking until at least two thirds of the required time is complete, as this could result in an uneven end result
- Test your cakes with a skewer before removing from the oven. If the skewer does not come out clean then return your cakes back into the oven for a few more mins until done.
- Clean your even regularly to prevent any smells from contaminating your baking
