Hey everyone! I thought I'd answer this question as I see this a lot. There are a number of things that can cause cakes to be dry. Those things can range from measuring improperly to over baking along with other factors. There are ways you can prevent it if from happening though and I hope this video is helpful!
If you want to see the written blog post about this, I'll leave the link below.
And as always, please remember I'm a real person and like to provide these videos for free to hopefully help others who also love to bake cakes. Please keep your comments polite. :)
Much love,
Kara Jane

What about if you add simple syrup if it's a dry cake. Would that help

It might a little. I’m not big on using the syrup though but everyone has their preferences.

Ma'am using fan option also lead to dry cake..i usually bake my cake at 160°c with fan on and both rod on. people suggest me to bake cake at without fan and only bottom rod on... I'd appreciate if you help me with that

I don't bake with the fan on. In fact, my oven doesn't even give me that option. So I only bake in a conventional oven. I know that baking with the fan can bake it much more quickly and maybe that is what is drying out your cakes. It's worth a try to bake without the fan and just the bottom heat rod.

1:40 Why doesn't the small cup not press the flour but the big cup does?
@IScreamforButtercream
@IScreamforButtercream Жыл бұрын
The small cup does press the flour into it but the difference is that you’re just using it to gather flour and then you’re pouring the flour into another measuring cup, not immediately adding that packed down flour to the mixing bowl. You could even use a spoon to ‘scoop’ up the flour. That part doesn’t matter. It just matters that the flour is poured/added to the actual measuring cup and leveled off. So, yes the initial ‘scooper’ of the flour may be packing it down a little but then the cup you then add it to, that is actually measuring how much you need, is not because the the flour is poured into that, not scooped. Hope that made sense.

Great video...thanks for all the tips!! I used to use that well known white cake recipe online that starts with a boxed mix...the Sour Cream Almond White Cake. I've been trying to find a totally scratch recipe that will have the flavor and texture of that. Which of your recipes, if any, would replicate that?? I'm very glad I found your channel!

I hate soggy, underbaked cake, lol. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to come out "dry." Accurate measuring is oversold nonsense. If it was that important, recipes wouldn't be 1 cup, half cup, 3/4 cup of this and that (or grams). If measuring was important, recipes would say 1.873grams, 0.683grams, or even 0.73 cups, right? Common sense.

No cos the recipes are based on how people do things anyway i wouldnt start a cake by measuring 89.12g of butter, i would take 100 grams and work out what ratio everythig else should be, or i wouldnt use 3 quarters of an egg to start it for example
