How to test your cake flavours before baking. (1 Viewer)

When we are baking, we're sometimes unsure whether there is too much or too little flavour in our bakes, so in order to combat that here is a quick method showing you how to check your baking flavours before the big bake!

Method:


1 Prepare your batter and add the amount of flavouring you require.

3 Take a teaspoon and scoop out some of the batter and place it into a baking/cupcake case.

4 You only require a small amount, like so.

7 Once this has done, remove the case from the microwave and see if the batter has baked. (If it is still gooey, bake for another 10 seconds if required).

8 Ensuring that the batter is fluffy, taste the mix and see if the cake has the right amount of flavouring you require.

This is a great time-saving tip for many reasons.

  • If you have added too much flavour, you can throw away the batch and start again without having spent time baking it.
  • If you added the wrong ingredients, you'll immediately know and be able to rectify the problem.
  • If there isn't enough flavour in your cakes, you can repeat the above process until the cakes taste exactly how you want them to. Either way, it's a win-win all around!
