Are There Ingredient Ratios In Making Your Own Recipe?
Baking By melysa Updated 22 Sep 2007 , 4:28am by alanahodgson
i was just thinking today how cool it would be to come up with my own cake recipe...but i wonder, there has got to be a ratio rule... does any one know? ie: for every cup of flour, x amount liquid, eggs , weight in fats (butter, oil etc) , tsp leavening...?
should the ratios be done by weight rather than dry/wet measurements?
i'm eager to know. thank you 
What kind of a cake are you trying to make (e.g. sponge cake, butter cake, etc..). The reason I ask is because the ratios would be different. I have the Cake Bible and it gives great information for ratios but its specific to the type of cake you want. I've played around a little but always end up going back to the 'tried and true' - but I'm not all that creative with flavors.
Here's a site with some information on this topic
