Below are a few key things that every novice baker should know:
§ Preheating the oven IS important
§ Knowing the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon and a cup can make or break a recipe.
§ If you forget to pretreat your pan with butter and flour that cake isn’t going to resemble a cake when you try to remove it from the pan.
§ If you use an 8 inch round cake pan instead of a nine inch round cake pan the cake is un-doubtly going to over flow.*
§ If your oven is too hot and you think it will just take less time to cook you are wrong.
§ Egg shells are not a fun surprise ingredient. In anything. Ever.
§ If a recipe calls for baking powder don’t think that using baking soda will be a good substitute.
§ Follow your recipe exactly. Baking is a science and until you understand ratios don’t mess with them.
§ Placement of the racks in the oven is an important but sometimes (in my case) over looked step
§ If you really love baking and don’t give up you will be a good baker.
Case in point:
*If you use an 8 inch round cake pan instead of a nine inch round cake pan the cake is un-doubtly going to over flow.
