Steemit Learning Challenge S21 /W2 : Classic Vanilla and Chocolate cakes

Yes I make classic pastry at home, especially my kids are very fond. Besides, everyone in my family in my house likes to eat a little dessert after meals.Make a cake whenever I get a chance. Just as I love eating cake, I make special cakes for someone on their birthday. And this cake is a part of the celebration. Now I make cakes, my cakes are so much fun now that I don't buy cakes from outside anymore.Ever since I learned to make a good quality cake I don't spend a penny to buy a cake. And my homemade cake is one of our favorite foods.

But I have a lot of past experience behind cake making----

But I have a lot of past experience behind cake making.
When I first saw YouTube and decided to make cake.Then I would see that either the cake was burnt to the bottom, or the cake was raw in the middle. No way a perfect cake would have turned out and every time I made the cake, I was upset. That's because I used to watch many videos on YouTube making very beautiful fluffy cakes.

But every time I made the cake my cake never got better in the gas stove oven. It can be seen that when the cake is swollen in the oven, it will be quiet after being taken off the stove. And after cutting the cake, it was seen that it was high on one side and low on one side, then I was very shy.

The first first was not my cake oven I used to make cakes at gas stove. . .I thought maybe the cake would be better if made in the oven, so the cake on the first day I made the cake in the oven was raw. After repeated hits and then fixing this raw cake, when I let it bake in the oven again, the cake became hard.

And when I decorated the cakes even after making them with great difficulty, I could not decorate them with such beautiful decorations.

^{The 2nd cake decoration photo, it was of the decoration on the occasion of my son's birthday}

But one day I learned some cake-making techniques from an aunt and then one day I made a cake for the first time and made a vanilla cake but in that case the part was not equal to the top of the cake. Then I knocked you on messenger to see why my cake was made not perfect..

Apu says you keep making cakes one day you will see cake will be good.

Seen when I bit the egg white it would be overwitted. And when I let the cake mixer be baked in the oven, the middle of the cake would sit.So I thought to myself that I keep making cakes sometime the cake will be good.

• So I thought to myself that I keep making cakes sometime the cake will be good.

After a lot of trouble, my cake finally got better, just as the cake looked beautiful, it was tasty, delicious, it would disappear if you put it in your mouth. The cake was fluffy and the cake was equal when I decorated it.

So now I enjoy making cakes.My boys encourage me they help me a lot while making cakes.My husband buys me all the cake tools, everything. Bring me everything you need. So now I'm so glad to take the cake. For the past three years I now make cakes at home myself and we celebrate this cake with my family and relatives.

Today I'll make a cake in the challenge or between two cakes presented and describe its ingredients in detail and step by step. I learned some lessons from the recipe we were asked to follow by the teaching team myself and made a chocolate pound cake today with my own experience. Because I won't decorate this cake with any cream.So this one I made chocolate pound cake with butter to eat without cream.

The cake was really delicious and looked pretty soft and fluffy too which felt great to eat with everyone in the family.

I will separate all the dry ingredients of the cake, flour, sugar, butter, Cocoa powders separately and measure 100 grams on the measuring scale.

Then mix the dry ingredients together and squeeze them into a sieve so that there are no lumps in any of the ingredients.

Break the two eggs and separate the yolks and mix the egg whites with a mixer. I'll make egg foam in egg whites three times with little sugar. And when I see the pointed part on the handle of the egg foam mixture, I will think that the egg foam is ready and if I turn this bowl upside down, it will not do it, that is, the egg foam is perfect.

Another bowl apart I'll mix butter and sugar well with mictures as if smoothing. When I see the mixture of butter and sugar creamed and smoothing, I'll beat it with egg yolk for a minute.

Then I will beat the egg white foam with of beaterness for a minute.

Sieve the dry ingredients with cake chocolate emulsion,(Coffee tastes a bit bitter, so I used chocolate emulsion instead of coffee) , vanilla and sieve again and mix gently with this batter, no overmixing.

Cake-making better is done.

Now brush oil on a six-inch cake mold and sprinkle flour on it. Mix the whole dough and find out the extra flour.
Now keep it a little higher and slowly pour the cake batter into the cake mold.
Then I'll hit the batter a little with a stick and tape it well so that the air bubbles come out.
Now let me bake the cake for 30 minutes at 160 Degrees in the preheated oven prepared in advance.

After 30 minutes when I take out the cake from the oven and give it a stick to check if it's raw inside.When I see the stick cake doesn't take anything and then the cake is well backed.Then cover the cake with a steel bowl and put it in room temperature.

After 2 hours I will take the cake out of the refrigerator and pour the cake from the cake mole and divide the cake into two equal parts with a knife.

After 2 hours, take out the cake from the refrigerator, I will pour the cake from the cake mold and divide the cake into two equal parts with a knife.
After making the cake, I found that there was no air bubble and the cake was very soft and fluffy. The cake texture was perfect.
Then I took a picture with my user ID.

Include a name tag next to your cake that contains your username and date.

I didn't find it difficult while preparing the cake.I sometimes make cakes at home,I haven't made a cake since August so today I have an opportunity to make a cake so my interest in making cakes increased.
So I made this cake today with great joy.

A classical cake should be made and shown in this community and I tried to make the cake according to the instructions given by the teaching team. But it took me a little more time to make the cake. I have never mixed egg and butter separately like this. Today I made a cake like this for the first time.

Today, since there is an opportunity to make a cake, the interest in making cakes has increased.

Since I made it from the classics and didn't use any cream, I wanted the cake to be very soft and fluffy. So I separated the egg white foam and mixed the butter and sugar in separate bits to create a smooth texture.

As if the cake is perfect by combining the mixture of egg foam and butter. So a little care has to be taken to mix the smooth mixture of egg foam and butter and the dry ingredients of the cake gently. Otherwise, the cake could have become hard due to over-mixing.

Here we are given a lot of instruction and educational lesson baking tips from the teaching team that anyone can follow to make a perfect cake. Still, when we make the cake ourselves, many things can go wrong, so here I mention the mistakes that we can make.

Making a perfect cake depends on some precautions, some measurements and some temperature.

• The most important thing is that the dry ingredients should be measured correctly, not too much or too little.

• Whenever we use the ingredients to make a cake, first of all we have to keep it in mind, especially baking powder, baking soda, color, and vanilla essence, they should be of good quality, there must be an expiry date, otherwise the cake will never be good.

• While cracking the egg, we must be careful that the yolk never breaks, moreover, when we make the egg white foam, if the yolk breaks, then the egg foam will not be perfect in any way.

• Always keep eggs and other ingredients at room temperature.

• While making egg foam with a beater machine, the whole sugar should not be added at once. Three to four stages of sugar mixing are required and it is best if the coarse sugar available in the market is refined in a blender. becomes.

• Overbeating the egg whites will never give you a perfect egg foam, and I know the perfect demand form when the bowl of egg foam doesn't fall a bit when the bowl is turned over and the mixer head sticks to the tip.

• The selection of the mold has to be correct because when I make a six-inch cake but if I bake the cake in an 8-inch mold the cake may be too thin.

• Choosing the right time and the right size is the most important thing when baking a cake. Overtime and oversize can cause the cake to harden in excess heat. Not all ovens work the same so I must check it and bake the cake.

• After the cake is baked, you should check with a toothpick if the cake is perfect. Moreover, the cake should not be kept in the refrigerator immediately after taking it out of the oven. Always take care to bring it to room temperature and then keep it in the refrigerator.

• Before pouring the cake mold, brush the cake mole with oil and sprinkle the flour on it so that when the cake is ready, the cake will come out easily when it is turned over.

• Always keep the pre-heated oven at a certain temperature and then let it bake.

• Many times after the cake is made, we keep the cake in the oven, as soon as the cake is made, take out the cake and cover it with a lid. Many a times it is seen that the cake gets battered. The only reason to cover the cake is to keep the moisture.

Thank you all on my behalf
Best Regards
