Common Baking Mistakes
Dunking your measuring cup into flour and packing it

Common Baking Mistakes

😉Common Baking Mistakes
Throwing all your ingredients together at once and mixing them without thinking about their order

If you see butter, or any fat and sugar listed first in a recipe, it’s a creaming method, which means you mix together the fat and sugar first, until it’s light and kind of airy. When you add the eggs, add them one by one to make sure they mix in well and so that your batter keeps its light texture.

Common Baking Mistakes
Forgoing using an electric mixer because you think arm power is suitable for everything

A lot of cakes require butter and sugar to be beaten together until pale and fluffy. You will never get the right consistency using just a wooden spoon/spatula.

There are so many different mixers out there. hand or stand mixers, and you can use them for so many different things. You will really notice the difference in your cakes once you’re getting that extra air in there.
