Cake Textures
There are different cake textures specific to individual preferences
Some like it moist, some dense, some like chewy etc
I have a course mate then who told me she prefers her cake to be like bread , well that was her preference
Below are some of the various cake textures and their examples
Soft & Airy: Angel food cake, sponge cake, or chiffon cake offer a light, fluffy texture that melts in the mouth.
Dense & Moist: Butter cakes, pound cakes, or Bundt cakes have a rich, crumbly texture.
Chewy: Shortcakes, bread pudding, or cookies can offer a satisfyingly chewy texture.
Moist & Tender: Carrot cake, Red Velvet cake, or chocolate cake provide a moist, Vanilla, tender crumb.
Crispy: Brownie crusts, cookies, or some cake decorations can have a crispy texture.
Creamy: Cheesecake, mousse, or layered cakes with creamy fillings provide a smooth, creamy texture
Here are some of them, you can add more to the list
Which is your favourite?
As for me, it depends on the mood or what I feel like eating at a certain time

Hello Lovelies today we will be learning the Difference between Baking Powder and Baking Soda.
From the difference, you will understand better why I said Baking is Science
Before we state the differences, we know baking soda is usually used in making Red Velvet cakes hence the first picture but in recent times, due to creating of recipes and lots of experiments, one can use baking soda to make vanilla cakes as well (my favourite )
If you have the right recipe and can combine it properly, I tell you, using both baking powder and baking soda in baking a cake gives a desirable volume. Check out the cupcake pictures
Personally I prefer using both when baking
Here are the differences
Baking soda and baking powder are both leavening agents that cause baked goods to rise, but they work differently. Baking soda needs an acid to react and produce carbon dioxide, while baking powder contains both a base and an acid, making it suitable for recipes without acidic ingredients. In baking cakes, baking powder is generally preferred for its versatility and ease of use in recipes without pre-existing acid components.
Key Differences:
Ingredients:
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), while baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, an acid (like cream of tartar), and a filler (like cornstarch).
Reaction:
Baking soda needs an acid to activate and release carbon dioxide. An example of the acid is buttermilk. Baking powder already contains the acid, so it only needs liquid to react.
With this you will note that in order to use only baking soda or both of them in baking, having the right recipe is key.
In our Trainings, those recipes are taught and a better understanding is gotten. You can check the flier for more details.
NOTE: Students will be Providing their Materials.

Methods of GREASING Baking Pan for Cakes
There are various methods one used in greaing baking pans
1) spraying of pan grease
2) use of oil, it can be vegetable oil, olive oil canola oil etc.
3) the use of soft margarine or vegetable shortening to rub the pan with a brush
4) application of margarine then dusting with a little flour
5) lastly lining the pan with Parchment paper or baking sheets
For very moist cakes or oil based cakes I recommend the lining of the pan with a parchment paper
For moist cakes no 4 goes then for heavy or dense cakes any of them can go for it
You can name yours in the comments
My preferred method for now is no 4 and occasionally no 5
I hope this helps

GREASING
There are so many importance of GREASING your baking pan properly
The major importance is that it helps prevent the cake from sticking to the pan after baking
Trust me when I say, you don't want your cake to be divided when coming out of the pan.
The first picture is an example of damaged cake while trying to bring it out of the pan
I grease mine by applying margarine evenly in the pan then I dust it with a little flour
If you don't have Parchment paper or a baking sheet, this should work for you but make sure to apply enough margarine in the pan before dusting if not, it will still stick to the pan.
I hope this tip helps
