Your cakes cracked at the top because they cooked to fast. I noticed you had the rack one notch too high. The higher the rack, the hotter it is inside the oven. Potatoes are yummy on a higher rack because they get crispy, but not a cake. Lower your rack one spot, and I’ll bet those cracks go away. To help keep the frosting from sticking and pulling the cake, dip the knife in ice water, as often as necessary. You won’t get all those crumbs mixed in with the frosting. You’ll find the frosting will spread much more easily! ❤️ I’m going to try your hack tomorrow! It looks delicious! Thanks!

@lunadargent5292 3 жыл бұрын

To me it also looks like you may have baked the cakes on convection bake and I always fine that cake bakes better without convection at least imho. And that will have have contributed to the too fast baking; rising with a hump in the middle and cracking. If you’re going to use convection bake you should probably drop the temperature from 350 to 325.

Holy moly! Two weeks ago I made a from scratch vanilla cake for my son’s birthday. Lots of ingredients, 15-20 steps and it was average. My kitchen was a complete wreck. I’m usually a clean as I go baker, but not this time. Could be that my four-year old granddaughter was my helper. 😊 Today I made this cake (cupcakes) for my daughter’s birthday and it is EXCELLENT! Easy to swap out ingredients with delish results. Also, the beating of the icing was a game changer. The dark fudge chocolate turned into a beautiful, fluffy, light brown topping that was a perfect complement to the cake. So glad I found your channel. Have a great week.

I have to share with you my favorite box cake hack from the days I used to use box mix! The hack I am offering you now is to reserve about 3 heaping Tbsp. of the dry cake mix and then butter your pan(s), and use the reserved cake mix to "flour" your pans. This works with any flavor cake and you have no flour to try brushing off! Great for "naked cakes". This can also work for scratch bakers just by mixing your dry ingredients and reserving the same 3 TBSP. of your dry ingredients. Then mixing the wet and dry ingredients. I also was told to use the milk and butter. But, that was so it would taste like a homemade cake made from scratch! Happy Baking!

The teacher was Wilton certified bakery owner and she told us to use the moist cakes mix with the butter and pudding mix. That was 25 years ago and I'm still doing it today. I have the lost from that class that told what flavor pudding to pout with which cakes. Like apricot pudding with the classic white and vanilla pudding with the butter.

I just want to share this with you. My mother was a nurse. She got up really early one Friday morning baked a chocolate cake and cleaned our house as we were having dinner guests that night. Before leaving for the hospital she left a note for my brother and me because we would get home from school before she got home from work by about half an hour. The note said, " Donny, you may have one piece of cake." When she got home there was one small slice of cake on the cake plate. Mother was so upset and asked Donny why he chose to disobey her. He told her that he didn't and that she didn't say what size piece of cake he could have. I was amazed that she didn't punish him. He was fourth grade and I was third. Double chocolate was his favorite cake and he was afraid the adults would eat all the cake and he wouldn't get any. He was already upset that he didn't get to lick the spoon. He also ate our Hershey bars Christmas Day. We each received four 1 lb. Bar in our stockings. He ate one of his before we left to go to our grandparents. When we got back home that night there weren't any bars in my stocking and I had not eaten any nor removed them from my stocking. After questioning from my parents we discover that Donny took his remaining 3 and my 4 in the car with us and ate all of them. He did get in trouble for that, but only because he "stole" mine. He loved chocolate till he died. I took him triple Fudge cake two weeks before he died. I wish I could take him chocolate again.

You must try the WHIPPED Betty Crocker frosting. Take it out of the can and whip it, it spreads easier and goes further. That cake hack looks delicious.

Add a little strong coffee to cake mix and frosting. Doesnt add a lot of coffee flavor, just deepens the taste of the chocolate, also warm up the canned frosting and pour over cake. Smooths out beautifully.

Bakery chef shared tip that a cake cracks because the heat doesn’t evenly dissipate when baking so batter bakes at a different rate on the perimeter than the center. One solution is a wrap you can make or buy that is secured around the outside perimeter of any shaped pan. It helps the entire cake to bake at a more consistent temperature which results is a perfectly flat top‼️. Loved that tip & it really works👍

You can also add coffee in place of water. You don’t taste the coffee but it enhances and brings out the rich chocolate flavor.

@chrisbaker5051 3 жыл бұрын

Another little hack is adding instant coffee to a chocolate brownie or cake mix. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of a high quality instant coffee, or if it’s a store or generic brand use 1 tablespoon. Your cake won’t taste like coffee at these amounts, it will just enhance the chocolate flavor.

I like to replace the water with strong brewed coffee and heavy cream, add sour cream + pudding + 1 extra egg yolk. I think I found that all online somewhere. I'll definitely have to try replacing the oil with the butter as well!! I have been making the cake with a caramel filling but a chocolate filling sounds really good too.😋

Choco-holic here 🍫🍩🎂!!! My best tasting box cake has four room temp large eggs, the 3.5 oz pudding mix, 1 and 1/2 sticks of melted butter, AND 1 cup of room temp sour cream (plain Greek yogurt works great, too). About ten years ago, I borrowed this hack from a successful caterer, to copy her recipe for her popular cupcakes. All of her frostings have LOTS of AIR whipped into their LARD and BUTTERMILK base.
