1. Essential cake ingredients

Whether you choose to make birthday cake by oven or microwave, rice cooker, ingredients are also an extremely important factor to determine the taste of the cake. So, to complete a delicious and beautiful cake, let’s go with PasGo Team to learn about the ingredients for making cream cakes!

1.1. Cake dough

Wheat flour is an indispensable ingredient when making cakes

Wheat flour is an important and necessary ingredient to make the base of the cake. In particular, the most convenient is probably all-purpose flour, which can be used even for beginners. Compared to the cake bought at the store, the cake made from all-purpose flour maybe a little less smooth, but don’t worry because the quality and taste are still not inferior!

After a few times of making homemade cakes, when you are more familiar with your hands and “pocket” with the necessary experience, you can switch to using specialized cake flour. The cake core will become soft and smooth as desired.

The second indispensable flour is cornstarch, this material will help the core of the cake to be “stiff” and more perfectly shaped. However, you should pay attention to the amount of dough to be reasonable to avoid the cake being too heavy. In addition, the cake core is not only the usual type, but to create other flavors, you will need green tea powder, cocoa powder …

1.2. Eggs, butter, sugar, milk, vanilla

To make a delicious cake, the ingredients must also be carefully selected

The type of egg that we use in the ways to make birthday and anniversary cakes is chicken eggs. When making a cake, the yolk and white will be separated. The yolk part helps to create the richness and eye-catching yellow color for the cake core. The whites are used to whip together with the sugar.

Butter comes in many forms, from salted butter, unsalted butter to margarine… Although it depends on the type of cake you make, usually unsalted butter will creates the perfect flavor for the cake. Butter should be left to room temperature before baking to soften.

Sugar is not only an ingredient to help create sweetness, but also has the effect of increasing moisture so that the cake can bloom. As for milk, PasGo Team recommends using fresh milk to make the cake taste delicious. Finally, vanilla – the perfect “piece” to make the cake attractive, use vanilla extract.

1.3. Ice cream for cake decoration

Decorate and shape with buttercream to achieve beautiful colors

Currently, there are 3 types of cream most commonly used are whipping cream, topping cream, and buttercream. Although whipping cream is quite popular, suitable for those who are just starting to make cakes, but this cream melts quickly.

The second type, topping cream is basically the same as whipping cream but the “standard” hardness is much more. In return, you will have to be a little more skillful to create a beautiful image. So, when you get used to whipping, try switching to topping cream.

Buttercream is the most perfect texture material, when decorating the cake, it will create eye-catching colors and delicious flavors. That’s why this cream is more expensive than the two types mentioned above. In essence, it is a mixture of butter and sugar and some other necessary ingredients, then whipped up meticulously and carefully.
