How to bake

a Cake
Module 1
When kids get interested in
helping their parents in the
kitchen, one of the first things
they want to do is to help
bake a cake. It's a good choice
because cake baking is often
an easy, direct process and
many recipes follow the same
basic steps every time.
Knowing the
fundamentals
allows you to
approach making a
cake from scratch
with great
confidence. For this
step-by-step
example, a
chocolate cake is on
the menu.
Before you begin baking, grease
and flour the pans you are
using. These could be 8-inch
round pans, 9-inch rounds, a
13" x 9" rectangular sheet, or
even a Bundt pan. Then preheat
the oven to the temperature as
directed in the recipe so that it's
ready to bake when you are.
It's important to have all of
the ingredients prepared
before making the batter.
Many cake recipes call for
melted chocolate, so you
should do that before
beginning to mix up the
batter.
To melt chocolate,
you can use a
microwave or a
double boiler on
the stovetop, the
traditional
method.

It's important to
correctly measure and
then mix the dry
ingredients completely
so the cake will have
an even and proper
rise. Use a wire whisk
to combine the flour
with the leavening
agents for a best
results.
Bring the butter to room
temperature before you begin
baking. When it has reached
the proper temperature, beat it
until it's creamy. Slowly add
the sugar as you cream your
butter if using a stand mixer
. If you're using an
electric beater or mixing
by hand, add a little of
the sugar at a time and
then mix until you have
incorporated the full
amount.
Add the eggs to the butter
and sugar mixture, one at a
time.
Mix it well
until its
blended
properly.
Module 3
For a chocolate cake, this is generally
when the chocolate, flour, and milk are
added to the butter and sugar mixture.
First, start with the melted chocolate. Be
sure to incorporate it completely with
the combined butter, sugar, and eggs.

Then, alternately add the dry ingredients

and milk to your wet ingredients. Mix
well until it is smooth and uniform.
If making a layer cake, carefully
divide the batter between two round
cake pans. If you're using a
rectangular or Bundt pan, scoop out
all of your batter into your prepared
pan of choice. Gently tap the pans
on the counter to even the tops and
remove air bubbles. If necessary,
use a spatula to smooth the tops
before baking.
Remove from the oven and cool
on a rack for 10 minutes or as
directed in your recipe. Remove
the cakes from the pans and cool
completely on wire racks before
adding frosting. Make sure the top
layer isn't upside down on the
rack; otherwise, there will be grid
lines on the top of the cake.
Once the cakes are completely
cool, it's time to frost them.
Choose from basic buttercream
icing, cream cheese frosting,
ganache, or whipped cream. If
you have two round cakes, put
one top side down on the serving
platter and frost it.
 Put the second cake
on top and frost the
top and sides. Make
swirls as decoration,
if desired.​
