Is there anything I can put in my cakes to make them stay moist longer. I am working on a caramel cake and it always comes out to stiff. Will putting sour cream or buttermilk work. How much would you put in. I bake with two nine inch pans. If anyone could give some tips I thank you.
I have made a caramel cake before, and my recipe makes a very dry cake. So I poured a jar of caramel ice cream topping over the cake. It was great!
Using a simple syrup made od water and sugar will really help with the moistness of a cake.
HTH
If you don't do this already, wrap the cake in plastic wrap while it is still hot. That will keep any moisture that is in the cake and not let it escape. As for it being an already dry recipe, no tips here.
I have heard of the plastic wrap thing before, does anyone know if it will work for cupcakes? I have some to do and then take 6 hours and decorate the next day.
I wrap mine in Saran Wrap as soon as they are turned out of the pan......then pop them in the freezer to cool. They are super moist, but sturdy enough for stacking or 3D. Oh, I use a box of pudding, a cup of sour cream, and an extra egg plus what the directions call for.
so using about a cup of sour cream in any cake is ok. does anybody have a good caramel recipe with the caramel topping. I am still having a few problems on deciding to use white or brown sugar. thanks to all.
I wrap my cakes in plastic wrap about 20-30 minutes after it comes out of the oven then right before I frost my cake I melt apricot jam with a little water and brush the cake and it is very moist.
These are very interesting tips. I never heard of wrapping a cake while still warm. I think I'll try it. It doesn't make it gooey?
Cool! I'm going to try it. I'm learning so much! This is amazing. Ok, so far I've learned that I should wrap my cake while warm and then freeze it to prevent crumbs. Awesome!!!
This site is awesome! You will be amazed at what you are going to learn from all of the people here!
