 Lesson Information

Information Sheet No.3

Prepare Sponges and cakes according to recipe specifications, Techniques and

conditions and desired product Characteristics.

Classification of Cakes

High-Fat or Shortened Cake

 Also called “butter cakes’’

 Contain fats
o Solid fat: butter, margarine or vegetable
shortening
o Liquid fat: oil.
Texture: tender, moist and velvety.
o Eggs: use whole egg

shorturl.at/pzV08

Low Fat- Unshortened Cakes

 Also called “foam cakes”

 Contain NO fat
 Leavened by steam and air
 Contain egg whites only
 Very Spongy
 Texture: light and fluffy
 Eggs: only use egg whites
 Example: angel food cake

14
Modified Sponge Cake

 Cross between shortened and unshortened cakes

 Contain fat (shortened)
 Use beaten egg whites (unshortened)
 Large volume but not as light as unshortened.

Chiffon Cake

Mixing Methods Used for Cakes

A. Creaming Method (for Shortened cakes)

 Also called as conventional method.

 The standard method for mixing high-fat cakes.
Procedure for Creaming Method:

1. Weigh ingredients accurately and have it in a room temperature at 70 F/21 C.

shorturl.at/kFLQ1

15
 2. Place the shortening in the mixing bowl. With the paddle attachment, beat the fat
slowly, until it is smooth and creamy.

In the absence of electric mixer, you may use wire whisk for a traditional way.

3. Add the sugar gradually. Cream the mixture at moderate speed until the mixture is light
and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs a little at a time, beat until the eggs are absorbed before adding more.
Mix until light and fluffy. This step will take about 5 minutes.

5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

6. Add the sifted dry ingredients, alternating with the liquids.

shorturl.at/ijuzS

B. Two-Stage Method

 A bit simpler than the creaming method, and it produces a smooth batter that
bakes up into a fine grained, moist cake.
Procedure for Two-stage Method:

1. Blend flour and other dry ingredients with shortening. When this mixture is smooth, the
liquids are added in stages.

2. Mix at low speed and observe correct mixing. This is important to develop proper
texture.

3. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently during mixing to
develop a smooth, well mixed batter.

shorturl.at/iEHQ3

16
C. One-Stage (Liquid Shortening) Method

 This method involves adding the liquid ingredients to the bowl first which simplifies
the procedure.
Procedure for One-stage Method:

1. Weigh ingredients accurately and have it in a room temperature

2. Mix at low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened, to prevent dry flour from being

thrown from the bowl. Mix period at high speed, then medium speed to properly develop air cells
and create a smooth, fine textured butter.

 Many types of sponge method cakes have one characteristic in common:

 They are made with egg foam that contains yolks.
 Sponge cake batter is made in two basic steps:
o Eggs and sugar are whipped to a thick foam
o Then sifted flour is folded in.
E. Angel Food Method

 Angel food Cakes are based on egg-white foams and contain no fat.
 It should be whipped until they form soft, not stiff peaks.

Procedure for Angel Food Method:

1. Weigh ingredients accurately and have it in a room temperature.

2. Sift the flour with half the sugar.

3. Using the whip attachment beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add salt and
cream of tartar near the beginning of beating process.

4. Gradually beat in the portion of the sugar that was not mixed with flour. Continue to
whip until the egg whites form soft; moist peaks.

5. Fold in the flour-sugar mixture just until it is thoroughly absorbed.

6. Pour the mixture in ungreased pans and bake immediately.

17
F. Chiffon Method

 Chiffon cakes and angel food cakes are both based on egg-white foams but
differs on how you mix it.
 In angel food cakes, a dry flour sugar mixture is folded into egg whites, in the
chiffon method, batter mixture containing flour, egg yolks, vegetable oil and
water is folded into whites.
 Egg whites for chiffon cakes should be whipped until they are little firmer than
those for angel food cakes.
Procedure for Chiffon Method:

1. Weigh ingredients accurately and have it in a room temperature. Use a good quality,
flavorless vegetable oil.

2. Mixing with the paddle attachment at second speed, gradually add the oil, then the egg
yolks and the water and liquid flavorings, all in slow, steady stream.

3. Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the cream of tartar and sugar in a
stream and whip to firm, moist peaks.

4. Cut and fold the whipped egg whites into the flour-liquid mixture.

5. Pour the mixture in ungreased pans and bake immediately.

Activity 1

I have a question for you!

1. Do you like cakes?

2. Why do you like cakes?
 Maybe because its sweet!
 It is soft and fluffy?
3. What else do you like about cakes?
4. Is it because of the Icing?
5. What do you think is the characteristic of an Iced cake?

This time we are going to learn and understand the filling and icing of the cakes.

 Discussion of Activity 1
Information Sheet No. 1: Preparing and Select Fillings in Accordance
with Required Consistency and Appropriate Flavors.

There are many cakes. Cakes with fillings always seem add a little extra to the treat.
While there is a whole range of cake fillings recipes to choose from is important that
the of filling that you use is stable enough. Let us now learn the different types of
fillings.

Types of Fillings
Custard

http://bit.do/eFRmQ

Custard is a smooth, creamy type filling similar to pudding. The custard is a

filling containing corn starch, flour, and egg yolks. Any filling that contains corn
starch or flour must be brought to add oil slowly to prevent scorching and then
boiled for at least a minute to thicken to its fullest. A custard type of filling
should not be frozen.

40
Fruit

http://bit.do/eFRmc

There are many fruits that can e cooked into a filling for cake that will provide
the cake with an extra special flavour some of the common fruits used are
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberry, peaches, apricots, and rhubarb.
A pipe is used when frosting is applied on top of the layer around the outer
edge of the cake to act as a dam to hold the filling in between. Fresh fruit can
be added between the layers but this type of cake should only be assembled
within a few hours of eaten it.

Frosting

http://bit.do/eFRkR

Many times the same frosting used to frost the cakes is used for filling
between layers. This is a great way to add flavour and moistness to the cake.
Some the common frosting types that are also used as fillings are:
Buttercream, Boiled , Cream cheese , Whip cream, Ganache

41
Jelly

http://bit.do/eFRkx

Jelly, jam or preserved can be used to add an easy fruit flavour filling to a
cake. You can add flavour to the cake without any additional preparation.
When using jelly filing on a layer cake , used piping of frosting around the
edge of the layer to keep the jelly, jam or preserved confined and then select
your favourite flavour and spread it on the layer inside the pipe frosting.

Whipped Cream

http://bit.do/eFRkd

Filing using whipped cream provides a light a fluffy filling with a delicate flavour.
Whipped creams are sometimes stabilized by adding gelatine to make them hold up
a better. A cake with whipped cream filling must be refrigerated and served the same
day that it is made.

42
 Glazes and Syrups

http://bit.do/eFRjY

Glazes and syrups can also be used as a filling but it will not provide
for any thickness. They do provide extra flavour and help seal in the moisture
of the cake. The cake can be stored at room temperature when the filling is a
glaze or syrup unless the cake or frosting requires refrigerator.

Enrichment Activities

There are many cake fillings types that can be used. There are some points that
should be taken into considerations when choosing fillings for a cake. Some of this
points are listed below:

1. Consider the flavour of the cake and be sure that the filling will complete the
cakes flavour.
2. Take into account the storage of the cake. Do not pick a filling that requires
refrigeration when it will not be possible to refrigerate the cake because of its
size.
3. If the cake will be exposed to warm temperatures, do not choose filling that
will melt.
4. If the cake has to be made a day or so ahead of when it will be eaten, be sure
the filing will hold up for that period of time.
5. An icing made of butter and/or shortening blended with confectioner’s sugar
or sugar syrup, other ingredient may also be added.
6. Shiny coating such as syrup, applied to a food to make a food shiny or glossy
by coating with a glaze or by browning in under a boiler or in a hot oven.
7. Rich cream made of chocolate and heavy cream.
8. Edible mixture used to fill pastries, sandwiches or cakes.
9. Provides a light fluffy filling with a delicate flavour.

The amount of filling will vary depending on the type of filling, the type of cake,
number of layers, and personal preferences.

43
 Generalization

We are still in the introductory part and you learned the different types
of fillings. This time, I want you to just enjoy while doing the task. I promise
that you will be a great baker someday and the skills and talent that you

Filling Cake Layers

For a classic round or rectangular cake, you may want to put levelled cakes together,
joined with the favourite filling. This adds height and drama to your designs.

Step 1

http://bit.do/eFRgA

Fill a pastry bag with medium consistency icing and use a decorating
tip no.12 or use a coupler without using a tip. Start at the bottom layer,
levelled side up. Put an icing just inside the edge of the cake. This will prevent
any filling from seeping out when the next layer will added.

45
 Step 2

http://bit.do/eFReq

Place the cake with icing, fruit filling or pudding.

Step 3

http://bit.do/eFRcv

Place the next layer on the top, making sure it is level. Consider the bulk of
the layered cake which can be the reason for an icing to expand. Put the top layer
with side down position, so the top of the cake is perfectly smooth and level.

Meaning of Icing
Icing is a sweet coating made of sugar coating made of sugar, butter, water, and egg
white or milk; It is often flavoured and cooked and used to cover or design baked
goods, such as cakes or cookies.

Different Types of Icing

http://bit.do/eFRnk

Buttercream

Buttercream is made of sifted powdered sugar, milk and superior butter. The quality
of butter used will reflect on the appearance, consistency and taste of your butter
cream frosting. This type of cake icing melts in hot weather, the finished cakes must
be chilled prior to serving to prevent the buttercream frosting from losing its stiffness.

49
http://bit.do/eFRn2

Whipped Cream

This type of cake icing can be attained using cold heavy whipping cream and
sugar. Some would advise you to use powdered sugar but ordinary
granulated sugar work as well

http://bit.do/eFRpQal Icing

Royal Icing

Royal cake icing dries hard in the outer shell. It is also one of the easiest to
dye with edible coloring. There are two ways to make this type of frosting:
Using egg whites (like meringue icing) and powdered sugar or by using
meringue powder in a place of egg whites.

50
http://bit.do/eFRrC

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese frosting is made with part butter cream frosting and a good
quality cream cheese. This type of frosting is usually perfect for carrot cakes,
red velvet and as a filling for doughnuts and cupcakes because of its
consistency.

It’s a bit heavier to spread than most types of cake icing. Some would even
put cream cheese frosting on their bread as stand-alone spread.

http://bit.do/eFRsr
Meringue
The basic ingredient for this frosting are eggwhites, cold water and granulated
sugar and it is one of the most common types of cake icing. It is light and fluffy
because of air introduced into the egg mixture to create a stiff consistency.

51
http://bit.do/eFRtn

Fondant
This is popular heavy frosting among celebration cakes because it is easy to
sculpt and work out. Basic fondant ingredients includes gelatin, glycerine,
water, icing or castor sugar (lighter than powdered sugar) and shortening.

Fondant is made by melting marshmallow (or heating the gelatin mixture) and
adding the rest of the ingredients until it reaches to its desired consistency,
which ideally, should stretch but should not tear easily. This cake icing is quite
heavy and sculpting to various shapes that is possible with the use of carving
and decorating tools.

http://bit.do/eFRt6
Chocolate Ganache
Chocolate ganache and glazing are probably the easiest cake icing to make.

 Enrichment Activities

Steps and Procedure in Icing a Cake

Step 1: Frosting Essentials

Spend a few fill on an offset spatula. Its large surface area makes it easy to
spread frosting. For a durable base, use cardboard rounds or an upside-down
cake pan.

https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/articles/how-to-chop-and-melt-chocolate

Step 2: Steadying Trick

Start by placing a dab of frosting on your base to keep the bottom layer of
cake from moving around.

https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/articles/how-to-chop-and-melt-chocolate

53
Step 3: Layer by Layer

Put the first layer of cake on the base and spread on the filling. Then place the
second layer on top and press down gently.

http://bit.do/eFRUj

Step 4: Crumb Coat

Fill the cake with a thin layer of frosting. This is called a crumb coat, and it
guarantees that the final layer of frosting looks spectacular. Place the cake in
the fridge for about 30 minutes until well-chilled and firm.

http://bit.do/eFRUx

Step 5: Frost Away

After removing the cake from the fridge, finish frosting. Use a nice dollop and
move the frosting along the side of the cake, eliminating the excess as you
turn the pan with your hand.

spatula too much so you won't have any crumbs. If you do get crumbs
just wipe it off on another bowl and use those for the filling. You can
spread some of the icing towards the side of the cake and you can take
some of the extra icing off, too.

10. Take some icing with your spatula hold it against the side on a 90
degree angle and spread it, covering the cake all around. Use your
other hand to turn the lazy susan while doing this. Make sure the edges
are a hanging little bit higher on the top of the cake.

11. When the cake is covered all around, take the spackle tool and hold it
against the sides again on a 90 degree angle. Turn the cake round and
round while leaving the spackle tool in the same place. It may take a
few round trips before you smooth it out.

Cakes and sponges used as bases such as:

1. Genoise sponge

shorturl.at/DQZ58

It is a whole-egg cake, unlike some other sponge cakes for which

yolks and whites are beaten separately. The eggs, and sometimes
extra yolks, are beaten with sugar and heated at the same time, using
a bain-marie or flame, to a stage known to patissiers as "ribbon stage".

67
2. Swiss roll

shorturl.at/gtAIS

A Swiss roll, jelly roll, roll cake, or cream roll, or Swiss Log, is a type of
sponge cake roll filled with whipped cream, jam, or icing. The origins of
the term are unclear. In spite of the name "Swiss roll", the cake is
believed to have originated elsewhere in Central Europe, likely Austria.

3. Sponge fingers

shorturl.at/dgtIK

Ladyfingers are low density, dry, egg-based, sweet sponge biscuits

roughly shaped like a large finger. They are a principal ingredient in
many dessert recipes, such as trifles and charlottes, and are also used
as fruit or chocolate gateau linings, and sometimes for the sponge
element of tiramisu.

 Enrichment Activities

Why is it important to measure freshness?

We measure freshness when developing long shelf life cakes to ensure that
they keep their freshness characteristics along shelf-life. Sometimes,
customers may have some specific requirements about cake texture. In that
case, the goal might be to reach a certain level of moistness, reduce the
crumbliness or increase the short bite. Measuring the freshness helps us see
how close we are to meeting these goals which can also be a future guide for
our product development.

Why do we need sensory evaluation?

We need sensorial measurements to complete our analytical results. First

because humans can’t always perceive the texture parameters like a machine
can, and a machine can’t entirely reproduce the way we touch and eat a cake.
Additionally Cake Freshness can also be evaluated using a combination of
mechanical and organoleptical means. Mechanically, we have instruments
that can measure the hardness, the resiliency and the cohesiveness of a
cake.

However, for parameters like cohesiveness and resiliency, there is not always
a logical correlation between sensorial measurements and the instrumental
measurements from the texturometer. In fact, some very important
parameters like moistness cannot directly be measured instrumentally. For
these reasons, we still need to conduct sensorial and instrumental
measurement of freshness in parallel.

How do you make sensorial evaluations of the different parameters of

freshness ?

Softness can be evaluated by touching the product. For the moistness, the
sensory judges first touch the product to feel if it is dry or not and to feel the
levels of humidity, then they also taste and evaluate it in the mouth. To
measure cohesiveness, the sensory judges touch and eat few bites of the
cake to see how much the product crumbles or not.

70
 How do you work together with your customers for sensorial evaluation?

Our expert panel is a tool we use to help internal development, but of course
we also do our work based on the briefs of our customers. The sensorial
analysis is mainly used to verify that objectives are achieved, for instance that
the freshness level of a cake is improved when we add our cake freshness
enhancer in a cake, and also to compare different Acti-Fresh offers and select
the one that will deliver exactly what our customers want.

How to Cut Delicate Cakes

1. Since delicate cakes are usually sticky, it’s helpful to have the
blade of your knife slightly wet and warm before your first cut.

What is the best way to store cakes?

Wrap an unfrosted cake layer tightly in plastic wrap; be sure and secure the top,
sides and bottom of the layers. Then place the wrapped layers in a plastic zip-top
bag and store on the kitchen counter at room temperature for up to five days. If you
need to keep a unfrosted layers longer than that, freeze them.

Refrigerating cakes

Keeping in the fridge, cake with buttercream or ganache topping will last for 3-4
days. If the cake has custard, cream, cream cheese or fresh fruit it will last 1-2 days
at most.
