9 tips for making the perfect cake

If you are not used to making cakes, then these tips are essential for a result as beautiful as it is tasty:

  • First, read the entire cake recipe;
  • Before baking the cake, make sure you have all the ingredients you need and place them near you;
  • All ingredients must be at room temperature – unless the recipe says otherwise;
  • The mass must not wait, otherwise its properties may change. In this sense, the oven must be preheated and the pan greased before cooking;
  • Always sift dry ingredients, this will make them integrate more easily with the other ingredients, leaving the cake dough lighter and fluffier;
  • Do not mix the dough after adding the dry ingredients, so after adding flour and the like, it should be gently spread with a spatula;
  • Do not open the oven within the first 20 minutes of baking the cake, as the temperature variation in this period is vitally important and may prevent the cake from growing;
  • Always do the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven: skewer the cake, if it comes out without or without dough, then it is ready to remove;
  • You should only unmold the cake after it has cooled, otherwise you run the risk of breaking it.
