I can't seem to get fluffy good tasting cakes recently! I guess my first problem is dense cakes/cupcakes and my second problem is that there seems to be no "taste" (which may be a direct result of my first problem)
Can my cake flour be bad? or am I putting too much batter in my cupcake trays/cake pans?
Thanks in Advance [/i]
Check your baking powder/soda. Those need to be replaced about every 6 months. Are you creaming your butter long enough? I do mine for about 3-5 mins and never have unfluffy cakes.
i cream my butter for like 5 to 7 minw until its really really fluffy your cakes will come out perfect!!!
My baking powder is definitely past the 6 month mark, so i'll try new powder and also try creaming my butter longer. I crisco for shortening or unsalted butter (depending on the recipe).
Thanks for all your tips, i'll try them out.
If you are following a cake recipe from a cake flour box like I do I recommend at least doubling the flavoring. 1/2t of flavoring just doesn't do the job in an entire cake!
Oh I always AT LEAST double the flavoring "suggested" in a recipe. No such thing as too much vanilla!
You need to cream the butter first, then add the sugar and cream them very well, add a flavor depending on the recipe u can add 1 tsp of vanilla, add the eggs beat them, add the flour (self rising flour) and milk, start with flour and end with flour.Do not mix too much.
