I'm Baking A Cake Today by wehdone(m): 1:41pm On Nov 13, 2022 |
I saw this post yesterday, and I decided to emulate @Gloryhomemaker https://www.nairaland.com/7135389/making-cake-blender-no-oven I was excited because the procedures looked simplified. Besides, I have most of the ingredients at home, so why not? The idea of using a blender seemed genius, so I decided to try it out. I mixed double of the ingredients she listed, so I'll use the electri oven for a portion, and pot for the other portion. I didn't use baking soda, and I used nutmeg in addition to other ingredients. **I didn't get the thickness I preferred, so I added some butter 4 Eggs 1/2 Soya oil 1 Sugar Butter 3 Likes

Sorry gloryhomemaker, I couldn't cope with the pot; I didn't know how to cope with the low heat. So, I took the pan and transferred it to the oven instead. I reduced the heat this time to 150° from 170° I used the first time 2 Likes

wehdone: You did well for the first time, the challenge is that the cake didn't rise well enough. I got concerned when I saw oil and butter together, both won't help the cake rise well. Then what's the quantity of liquid milk added? That also might have contributed. Another factor is the heat of the oven. If it's too hot, it will dry up before the batter gets the opportunity to rise. Personally, my oven has different temperature for different things even when set at the same level. For example if you turn the knob to 150 for baking, it's not the same temperature with 150 for grilling meat. So the heat needs to be at the right temperature. To help me with that, I prefer using the pot tightly closed and bake at low heat. Another issue could be the measurements, if things are not measured rightly it will affect the cake. Did you sift the flour? Sifting the flour helps break in the flour molecules and helps it rise in the oven. One last thing I learnt in pastries was not to use long stored flour in anything that should rise except Chin chin. Anytime I want to bake, I buy the quantity of flour I need that I don't have to store. Thank you for your efforts. It will still taste nice but not fluffy. 5 Likes |

mariahAngel: The cake Queen is here. It took me some cake fails to add the required measurements of sugar to flour. I always added everything in right measurements except sugar. The sugar always appeared too much and I said I didn't want much sugar not knowing the sugar helps the flour rise ![]() You should do some more tutorials on cake for us. Happy weekend nne. 1 Like |

gloryhomemaker: So many lessons. It's been over a year I baked, so it felt like I was learning afresh. I'll try to bake more often. That oil plus butter... I'll jejely just pick one. Milk, I used 1 cup Flour was sifted,, but I didn't sift the baking powder. I thought there was no need for it. I used electric oven, and both the top and bottom heating elements were on... So the cake was getting heat from top and bottom. I did 180° or so for 35mins. I'll try just the bottom heat elements for my next bake, at 180°... Lemme see how it goes. Thanks for the review, it really feels good cooking for the family. One of my boys has been singing my praises, he called his uncle who came visiting... His words "Uncle come, my daddy baked cake for us". Omo.... My heard swell small. I'll remember to keep getting better. Thanks again 1 Like |
