Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake

Cakes are baked from a batter. Batter is formed by mixing wet ingredients (like milk and eggs) with dry ingredients (like sugar and flour). The batter is baked in an oven. this manner of baking is understood because the muffin method, because muffins are made this manner .

Just like bread, cakes rise within the oven because they contain many small air bubbles. As cakes rise, the air bubbles expand. this is often why the cake batter expands within the pan (often to twice its original size). There are two ways of forming the air bubbles, which create differing types of cakes. Almost all kinds of cake belongs to at least one of those families.

Creamed Fat
These cakes are made with butter or another fat, like vegetable shortening. The common way is to combine the fat and sugar, then add eggs, then add flour. The fat should be soft. It shouldn't be hard or liquid. Mixing sugar with fat creates many very small air bubbles. Most birthday cakes are made this manner . Cupcakes also are made this manner .

Egg foam
These cakes aren't made with solid butter or vegetable shortening. a number of these cakes are made with melted butter or oil . The common way is to combine the eggs and sugar, then add flour. These cakes are often much taller, lighter and sometimes spongier than creamed fat cakes. Angelfood cake and chiffon cakes are egg foam cakes. Most grocery stores with bakeries sell angelfood cakes. Angelfood cakes are made by beating egg whites with sugar. This traps tons of small air bubbles. The eggs and sugar are mixed with other ingredients. Then, the cake is baked.

Decorations
A cake are often decorated with icing (also called "frosting"), chocolate, fruit, and far more. A cake is formed by stacking cakes with icing or filling between the layers. Birthday cakes are sometimes decorated with candles. Cakes are often served with berries or other forms of fruit.

A large, rich cake is usually called by the French word for "cake": "gâteau" (plural: "gâteaux", both singular and plural pronounced "GA-toe").it's going to have tons of cream. Some cakes can have edible paper on the highest .
