I got a recipe for red velvet cake off CC and it was a disaster. I followed the directions step for step but the directions failed to say at what point to put the eggs into the mixture so I put them in last. The result was the cake never rose at all. It was the same hight when it was done as it was when i put it into the pans. Do you think this was because I put the eggs in last or did something else cause this? i dont want this to ever happen again so any suggestions from you pros would be appreciated.
Good Question...
I made my first scratch cake this weekend, my recipe said to beat the eggs seperately and add them a little at a time right before the dry ingredients.
It did state that if the batter started to curd or seperate to add a bit of the flour mixture... so I added a bit of the egg mixture and a bit of the flour mixture until all was incorporated. It baked up nicely...
Hope this helps...
PS... the cake mix was a bit dry after mixing all the ingredients were mixed together before baking so I added a cup of sour cream... it turned out wonderful!
